**Douglas Silverberg** (born January 16, 1933) is a Canadian retired ice hockey [defenseman](/source/Defenseman) who was a two-time [All-American](/source/List_of_Division_I_AHCA_All-American_Teams) for [Colorado College](/source/Colorado_College_Tigers_men's_ice_hockey).[1][2]

## Career

Silverberg began attending [Colorado College](/source/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 [WIHL](/source/Western_Collegiate_Hockey_Association) in [1955](/source/1954%E2%80%9355_NCAA_men's_ice_hockey_season), earning recognition as an [AHCA](/source/American_Hockey_Coaches_Association) [First Team All-American](/source/List_of_Division_I_AHCA_All-American_Teams).[3] CC shut down [St. Lawrence](/source/St._Lawrence_Saints_men's_ice_hockey) in the semifinal to reach their third championship game but they ran into a stellar goaltending performance from [Lorne Howes](/source/Lorne_Howes) and fell to rival [Michigan](/source/Michigan_Wolverines_men's_ice_hockey) 3–5.[4]

In Silverberg's senior season, Colorado College regressed just enough to allow [Michigan Tech](/source/Michigan_Tech_Huskies_men's_ice_hockey) 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.
