In episode 332 of the Glass and Out Podcast we're joined by Head Coach of the St. Norbert College Green Knights, Tim Coghlin.
Over the past 32 seasons, Coghlin has turned the St. Norbert hockey program into one of the finest college hockey programs in the country. During that time, the Green Knights have appeared in 21 NCAA DIII tournaments, captured five national titles, and posted over 700 wins, making Coghlin the all-time wins leader at the DIII level.
In addition to leading a model program, former players can be found making an impact in their respective fields and communities. That includes reigning Jack Adams Award winner and head coach of the Washington Capitals, Spencer Carberry.
Listen as he shares why successful teams have noisy benches, why creating offence starts with defensive structure, and the responsibility that college coaches have to their players' parents.
