New book is underway!

Today, April 30, marks the start of my next project, my third book. This book will be about success concepts with a neat twist and perspective. I chose ten of my favorite success concepts- those traits that I find truly important in life- and I will interview each Hockey East coach (all ten of them) and have each one discuss a particular topic. I'll ask the coaches to talk about how the trait applies to them personally, and how it specifically relates to their team.

I'll be travelling to each Hockey East school to conduct the interviews over the next ten weeks. It should be a fascinating journey. I wanted to do this, yes, for the book, but it will also allow me to sit down and have a face to face with the ten men who coach in Hockey East. Let's face it, I really don't have a lot of opportunity to really get to know these coaches (with the exception of Mark Dennehy, who I see all the time).  I thought this would be a good opportunity to do this.

I'll keep everyone posted on this project as we move along. The first stop is Providence in Week 1, with the bench boss of the Providence Friars, Nate Leaman.

Mike Machnik Report Card Segment

Here is an interview I conducted with my broadcast partner and color analyst, Mike Machnik, prior to the second game of the Dartmouth tournament on 12-31. Mike was good enough to give his thoughts with respect to mid-term grades as it relates to Merrimack hockey and Hockey East at the halfway mark. If you love college hockey, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

To hear Mike's report card segment, please visit this link:

Mike McMahon Report Card Segment

This is a must hear interview if you love college hockey, particularly Merrimack college hockey. With the season halfway over, I put the Professor (Mike McMahon) to the test- I asked him to grade Merrimack's performance in seven categories, with a letter grade and explanation for each grade. Our interview was recorded on December 31, prior to game 2 of the Dartmouth tournament.

Mike, of course, is the beat reporter for Merrimack hockey and lead sportswriter for the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune newspaper. To listen to Mike's report card segment, please visit this link:
