==Career== Silverberg began attending [[Colorado College]] in 1952 and joined the varsity team a year later. After a good sophomore season, he led the Tigers' defensive corps as the team climbed back to the top of the [[Western Collegiate Hockey Association|WIHL]] in [[1954–55 NCAA men's ice hockey season|1955]], earning recognition as an [[American Hockey Coaches Association|AHCA]] [[List of Division I AHCA All-American Teams|First Team All-American]].<ref name = AHCA>{{cite news|title=1954-1955 All-American Team |url=http://ahcahockey.com/allamer/1955.php |work=The American Hockey Coaches Association |accessdate=2017-06-21}}</ref> CC shut down [[St. Lawrence Saints men's ice hockey|St. Lawrence]] in the semifinal to reach their third championship game but they ran into a stellar goaltending performance from [[Lorne Howes]] and fell to rival [[Michigan Wolverines men's ice hockey|Michigan]] 3–5.<ref>{{cite news|title=Team History |url=https://mgoblue.com/documents/2016/9/20/ihm-team-history.pdf |publisher=Michigan Wolverines |accessdate=December 9, 2018}}</ref>
In Silverberg's senior season, Colorado College regressed just enough to allow [[Michigan Tech Huskies men's ice hockey|Michigan Tech]] to slip past them in the standings and the team failed to reach the tournament. Silverberg was still regarded as one of the best defenders in the country and he was both a conference All-Star and national All-American.
