On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast, we bring on current Harvard University Assistant Coach, James Marcou. James was an unreal player, who broke the career assists record for UMASS Amherst. After his junior year there, he signed with the San Jose Sharks before concussions unfortunately ended his career after his first season. He is a rising star in the coaching ranks and is currently in his first year at Harvard. In this conversation, we cover:

-Playing for another crazy Russian coach growing up and the impact that had.

-What it takes to make it as a smaller player.

-What it means to "make players around you better."

-The importance of honesty in recruiting.

-Battling concussions as a hockey player.

-The Cornell/Harvard rivalry.

James is a great guy and a great coach, we know you'll enjoy this one! And as always, thank you to our title sponsor, GelStx...and thank you to all of our loyal fans for tuning in!
