Congratulations to a former play who I had the opportunity to work with and who is now the Head Coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins. I got to work with Danny for 2 seasons as a player and 1 season as an assistant coach in the minor’s. I always had a hunch that he would get into coaching when he was done playing. He has quickly climbed the ladder in the ultra-competitive coaching profession. He was a guy who played with passion and had an unbelievable amount of enthusiasm for the game. If he can continue to bring that positive energy everyday, the Penguins will certainly succeed.
Congratulations to the Boston University Terrier hockey team that won the Beanpot last night beating Northeastern 5-2. BU has now won 29 out of the 57 Beanpot championships played. I thought it was a great game up until midway in the 3rd period with BU up by 1 goal and Northeastern on the power play. BU responded with 2 short handed goals :30 apart to get a big lead. While BU has consistently been a good team under Head Coach Jack Parker and under the direction of Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Boyle, you have to give Northeastern and their coaching staff credit. They certainly looked like a team that his heading in the right direction under Head Coach Greg Cronin. Maybe these 2 teams will meet up down the road sometime because BU is ranked #1 while Northeastern is #3. You never know.
