Episode 69: Jean-François Houle. Quick and sweet interview this week with the Head Coach of Clarkson University Jean-Francois Houle. He only had about 25 minutes to spare so we buzzed through both his playing career and coaching. JF had a unique upbringing since his dad was an NHL player, so immediately he was around the dressing room and hockey was injected into his veins. JF would go on to get drafted to his hometown team the Montreal Canadians (the team his dad played 11 seasons for) and r...

2024/12/03

Canisius College Head Coach, Trevor Large dropped by the prohockeypod this week. Like most Canadian’s, he was attracted to hockey at a young age. One interesting thing about his story is that he quit hockey during his OHL draft year out of nowhere. A year later, Trevor missed the game and decided to make a comeback, earning a spot with a Tier 2 Junior A team in Brampton. This decision led him to Ferris State University and earning a degree. He joined the real world for two years as a computer...

Colgate University alumni and Head Coach Mike Harder stopped by the prohockeypod this week. Mike has always held Colgate close to his heart and has taken pride in always giving back in some way. He has been part of school on many forms, whether it was first as a player, then volunteer then Assistant Coach and now Head Coach. He bleeds Maroon. I actually played my first college career game @ Colgate so we joked about how it has a different special meaning for me. We talked about his journey th...

Episode 63: Troy Ward

prohockeypod ·

2024/11/05

This week the prohockeypod was fortunate to have long time coach Troy Ward spare some time for chat. Troy Ward is a name many people in the hockey world know or have heard. His long coaching career is a testament to him wanting it more than others and his willingness to put in the hard work. Like myself, Troy was a graduate of D3 hockey who knew as soon as he was done playing, he wanted to get into coaching. Troy has coached in NCAA, CHL, NHL and European pro. He was given advice young in his...

2-time NCAA D1 Champion Nate Leaman came on the prohockeypod this week and we made the most of our 35 minutes together. Like myself, Nate is a graduate of the NCAA D3 path who has gone on to do great things in the game. He worked his way up as an Assistant Coach with the University of Maine and Harvard before taking a chance with an up and coming program at Union College. Nate wore many hats there and slowly began building a power house that over his time, became a top 10 school in D1 hockey....

2024/10/01

Prince Albert Raiders GM Curtis Hunt joined the prohockeypod this week. From day 1, Curtis always believed in for the goodness of the team. Team first mentality. He grew up playing multiple sports and took a tryout in the WHL, thinking nothing of it. Next thing you know, he was drafted to the NHL and would embark on a 9 year pro career before shifting his focus to coaching. After years of coaching Pro and in the WHL, he transitioned to a GM role. Someone like Curtis has a lot of experience in...

2024/09/17

7 time DEL Champion Youri Ziffzer took some time out of his busy work schedule to come on the prohockeypod this week. Youri had an unusual path to ice hockey but once he was introduced, he didn’t look back. We talked about how he first became a goalie and starting his pro career at such a young age. Youri built up a reputation in the DEL as being a great team guy and was always wanted by the top teams. We dove deep into his “role” as a goalie in Germany as a “1B”. In hockey, championship team...

2024/08/20

This week the prohockey pod was happy to have Frank Hora stop by. Since Frank was little, his only path seemed to be hockey. Being one of 7 siblings, he was immediately thrown in net for the basement mini stick sessions. Frank soon transitioned to Defence and from there his game developed. We talked about Frank’s childhood growing up in NY State and his early introduction to the Buffalo Sabres. After youth hockey, Frank played 4 seasons with the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL (with multiple NHL...
