- 0:37Speaker 3: Well, and as someone pointed out one of the national
- 0:39Speaker 3: media members said, as soon as she popped up and
- 0:41Speaker 3: the first thing she said is how's that not a

- 1:12Speaker 4: Enox will do it for you.
- 1:13Speaker 5: But you know, we went to on a golf trip
- 1:15Speaker 5: to Dunebeg and that was the first hole. And I
- 1:18Speaker 5: met Enox a couple of years ago at a Christmas
- 1:21Speaker 5: party and he was telling me this year that he's painting.
- 1:24Speaker 5: So I said, hey, we have to get something for
- 1:25Speaker 5: this guy who took us to Ireland. And you guys
- 1:29Speaker 5: saw it. It was pretty spectacular.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Yeah, very well done.

- 1:45Speaker 2: Ce Jardino hooked you up there, you go, yeah, very nicely.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Here.
- 1:49Speaker 1: All right, let's get into some hockey here this weekend.
- 1:52Speaker 1: It's New Hampshire. Now you look at the schedule, and
- 1:55Speaker 1: I know it's one game at a time. I get that,
- 1:57Speaker 1: but there's you know, you're right at the bottom of
- 1:59Speaker 1: the at the pair wise where could get you in,
- 2:01Speaker 1: But everybody, it seems like on the schedules, on that
- 2:04Speaker 1: pair wise above you. And it starts with New Hampshire
- 2:07Speaker 1: never easy sues his teams off to a good start
- 2:09Speaker 1: this season. You got a home and home with them
- 2:11Speaker 1: and off we go Friday night.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just you know, we're watching some film
- 2:15Speaker 5: on their team today. And I obviously have the utmost
- 2:19Speaker 5: respect from Mike having known him for years and recruited
- 2:23Speaker 5: him unsuccessfully, but I did recruit him successfully to come
- 2:28Speaker 5: coach here at Yukon for a couple of years before
- 2:31Speaker 5: he went back to New Hampshire and took that job.
- 2:33Speaker 5: Over Their defensive course something. They have five senior and
- 2:39Speaker 5: defensemen and it's really really experienced. I think that's the
- 2:43Speaker 5: strength of their team. And they also have their top
- 2:46Speaker 5: line I think has twenty goals con Me and la
- 2:49Speaker 5: Clerk and Devlin, but Lavin's crown in up front. They're
- 2:53Speaker 5: really solid players. You know, the mo for New Hampshire
- 2:57Speaker 5: for years was that they're super skilled. They play up tempo,
- 3:01Speaker 5: but they play shinny hockey. That's not the case anymore.
- 3:04Speaker 5: It's and they were successful for a long long time
- 3:08Speaker 5: under Dicky Milly, and I had a lot of respect
- 3:10Speaker 5: for him as well, but we felt that if we
- 3:13Speaker 5: played a physical game against New Hampshire we could be successful.
- 3:16Speaker 5: It's just there as physical as anybody these days. So
- 3:21Speaker 5: it's going to be a battle, it's going to be fun.
- 3:23Speaker 5: As I told the team today, I'm really excited about
- 3:27Speaker 5: what we have in front of us. Yeah, what when
- 3:30Speaker 5: you know we're fifteenth in the pair wise and we're
- 3:32Speaker 5: playing like I said, well, I think twelve twelve of
- 3:37Speaker 5: the games are against teams in front of us.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Yeah, right right, and fourteen of the sixteen like you
- 3:43Speaker 3: said to us before, thirteen of sixteen, top twenty five,
- 3:45Speaker 3: fourteen of sixteen or top twenty six, right, I mean,
- 3:48Speaker 3: it's just yeah, it's in front of you.
- 3:50Speaker 5: That I said to the team, I said, we're in
- 3:52Speaker 5: a great position, in the position I would not want
- 3:54Speaker 5: to be in, you know, like I was looking at
- 3:56Speaker 5: Quinnipiac and Clarkson and Minnesota State, you know where they
- 3:59Speaker 5: might be fourteen or seventeen or nineteen in the pair wise,
- 4:03Speaker 5: but there's nobody in front of them that they're playing.
- 4:07Speaker 5: That's a tough situation to be in. Like where I
- 4:11Speaker 5: love the fact that we have a just grind of
- 4:13Speaker 5: a schedule. Jerry Yorki used to always say, it's the
- 4:15Speaker 5: men's League starts after January.
- 4:17Speaker 1: That's right, right, Your only home game this month is Saturday.
- 4:21Speaker 1: And I'm going to turn the clock back a little
- 4:22Speaker 1: bit because I was asked the beginning of the year
- 4:25Speaker 1: because Saturday night is a big night in Hartford. It's
- 4:27Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary of hockey and Hartford. The new England
- 4:30Speaker 1: Whalers played their first game downtown here as at Menbrew wha.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Why isn't this a doubleheader? Of course they're doing all
- 4:36Speaker 1: the work downstairs because you're sharing the wolfpacked locker room
- 4:39Speaker 1: this year, so you can't have, you know, both the
- 4:42Speaker 1: double headers that we're so used to having. So you're
- 4:44Speaker 1: at Cascano, but it's the only home game in January.
- 4:47Speaker 1: That's kind of strange. They have just one game in
- 4:49Speaker 1: the month in a month, but then you're going to.
- 4:51Speaker 4: Be whole month of February.
- 4:53Speaker 5: So sometimes it's just a quirk in the schedule. In fact,
- 4:55Speaker 5: this year, we happen to be going. You know, we
- 4:59Speaker 5: played at Harvard, which next year that came.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Would be home.
- 5:02Speaker 5: You know, we were playing a home and home with them.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Last year it was.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Home, right, and you play in a tournament too.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Yeah, we played in a tournament, but we have a
- 5:10Speaker 5: home at home in New Hampshire. And then this year
- 5:12Speaker 5: it's our turn to go to Maine for two so
- 5:14Speaker 5: that's that weekend and then January and Orno yeah, yeah,
- 5:18Speaker 5: I know, and then you have Connecticut ice yep. So
- 5:22Speaker 5: it's just a quirk in the schedule. But it wasn't
- 5:25Speaker 5: done intentionally. Sometimes that happens. But I was I like
- 5:30Speaker 5: the fact that we're home. We don't travel a whole
- 5:32Speaker 5: month of February, so yeah, that's nice to be home.
- 5:34Speaker 3: One thing you did say in there was okay next
- 5:36Speaker 3: year that that game theoretically against Harvard would be at home.
- 5:40Speaker 3: A is that game on the schedule? And I asked
- 5:42Speaker 3: that just because you and Ted Denado seem to it
- 5:45Speaker 3: just seems to be a penciled in game.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Now, okay, right after New Year.
- 5:48Speaker 3: This seems to be a good fit. How does why
- 5:50Speaker 3: is it such a good fit for the two schools?
- 5:53Speaker 5: Well, Teddy and I like, I've known him for a
- 5:56Speaker 5: long time, really respect him the way he runs his program.
- 6:00Speaker 5: I think it's a great opponent in the ECAC to play.
- 6:04Speaker 5: It's not a long trip for either one of us,
- 6:07Speaker 5: so usually a really good hockey game. And you know, now,
- 6:12Speaker 5: I don't know, like after next year the series ends,
- 6:15Speaker 5: I don't know if we'll continue it. Maybe we'll go
- 6:17Speaker 5: with Dartmouth. You know, well, i'd like to basically the
- 6:20Speaker 5: way I want to. We have ten non league games
- 6:23Speaker 5: every year. Two of them are going to be the
- 6:25Speaker 5: Connecticut Ice. I'd like to take a trip out west.
- 6:27Speaker 5: That would be for two games. You have six left.
- 6:30Speaker 5: I'd love to play Dartmouth Brown, you know, one of
- 6:34Speaker 5: the ivys that are local. I think that's a fun
- 6:36Speaker 5: game to play. I'd like to play one of the
- 6:39Speaker 5: Atlantic Hockey League games. I think it's important that we
- 6:42Speaker 5: continue to play against all those leagues and then mix.
- 6:46Speaker 5: You know, I love the Christmas tournaments when we can
- 6:48Speaker 5: do them when they work in your schedule. I think
- 6:51Speaker 5: those are awesome way to start your second half as well.
- 6:54Speaker 5: So that's kind of how we try to break down
- 6:56Speaker 5: our schedule. You know, this year we have a last
- 7:00Speaker 5: coming in because we needed one game and they're out
- 7:02Speaker 5: here playing somebody and it worked out that we'll play them.
- 7:05Speaker 5: So essentially, that's how we try to break down our
- 7:09Speaker 5: non league schedule.
- 7:10Speaker 4: All right, welcome back.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Joey Muldowney and Callum Tongue.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Interviews are coming up next, and we'll wrap things up
- 7:14Speaker 1: with Coach Cab near the top of the hour as
- 7:16Speaker 1: we're live at bear Smoke House Barbecue the Youkut Hockey
- 7:19Speaker 1: Coach a show on Learfield.
- 7:20Speaker 2: To stay with us,
