In episode 303 of the Glass and Out Podcast we're joined by former NHL Head Coach and upcoming presenter at June's TCS Live coaching conference Greg Cronin.
Cronin was recently let go as the Head Coach of the Anaheim Ducks after spending two seasons with the franchise.
He has enjoyed a remarkable and nearly 40 year run as a hockey coach, which began at Colby College and includes playing a role in getting the US National Development Team Program off the ground.
After eight seasons with the New York Islanders organization, he returned home to Boston as the Head Coach of Northeastern University, the program his father captained.
He returned to the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs and was named Head Coach of the Ducks in 2023 after a successful run with the Colorado Eagles, the Avalanches’ AHL affiliate.
You can catch Cronin at this June's TCS Live as he dissects individual skills on the forecheck.
Listen as he shares the illumination of player development, his guide to creating reliable players, and insights into his forechecking philosophy.
