From Maine to Quinnipiac to 'The Jet' with Joe Dumais

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks with players Zach Metsa, Sam Lipkin, Collin Graf, and Jacob Quillan for part three of their conversation. There is one topic and one topic only: the University of Minnesota game; down 2-0, and we pick up the conversation from there. Two words that will resonate “Banana Land” (translation: The game is tied finally after outshooting Minnesota in the third period). All your questions about the game will be answered, including the planned celebration Jacob was dreaming about the night before. Fifty minutes of pure hockey talk, it is the voices of four of the six players who were on the ice when the National Championship goal was scored and how it all happened. All episodes begin with Quinnipiac Student Matt Mungo’s call on the Quinnipiac Bobcat Sports Network of the National Championship goal. Thanks to QBSN for letting us use this audio.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward has a conversation with the Quinnipiac student athletes about a variety of topics. They talk about how they celebrated, their general thoughts on the game, and more. There's also a great conversation with Christophe Tellier, about how he score the first goal of the Minnesota game, where he outskated three players and Zach Metsa makes a perfect pass, just like he did in overtime. And stay tuned for the next episode, because we spend 50+ minutes on that game -- that’s not a typo! And that’s only about the three Quinnipiac goals.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks with TJ Friedman, Zach Metsa, Rand Pecknold, and Aaron Brown, a risk management expert and hockey fan who co-authored a paper called Pulling the Goalie: Hockey and Investment Implications. He’s probably the closest thing to an expert on pulling the goalie that exists on the planet. His 12-page research document has a lot of facts, figures and math symbols, and we thought it would be a lot easier to talk to him. So to answer the question (at least from Quinnipiac’s perspective) about when the goalie should be pulled, Brown speaks!  All episodes begin with Quinnipiac Student Matt Mungo’s call on the Quinnipiac Bobcat Sports Network of the National Championship goal.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks with players Zach Metsa, Sam Lipkin, Collin Graf, and Jacob Quillan for part two of their conversation. It’s onto the NCAA’s, and eventually the Frozen Four. The team gets a chance at redemption, playing the team they lost to last year, Michigan! This time the result is different. They talk about how student athletes respond to the social media world, and you'll hear about the game winning goal by Lipkin in the third period, followed by Metsa scoring to make it 4-2, and the Bobcats win 5-2. And they are off to the University of Minnesota. All episodes begin with Quinnipiac Student Matt Mungo’s call on the Quinnipiac Bobcat Sports Network of the National Championship goal.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks with three-time All-American Captain Zach Mesta, first year student-athlete and NHL seventh -round draft pick Sam Lipkin, Collin Graf who had an All-American season after transferring to Quinnipiac, and Jacob Quillan, who scored the game-winning goal in over-time on April 8, 2023. They talk about their origin stories in hockey, and how one of them wanted to attend college further down Whitney Avenue (Yale) but was never offered a spot. And then we start going through the season, starting with Zach being named captain and earning the respect and trust of his teammates. We follow up with summer work with Coach B and then the first big test -- North Dakota.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks with Rand Pecknold. You heard in Episode 1 how Rand was named coach in 1994, and how the program grew under his leadership. You will now hear about the beginnings, as we learn about the pivot points in the evolution of the program. The conversation begins with Rand as a young player in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, influenced by his dad, who also played the game. The conversation then migrates to the first couple of practices in 1994, and you must listen to the story about one of the players. Rand, as the 2023-24 season begins, he has a record of 615-337-103 and currently ranks first among all active NCAA Division I coaches in career victories and ninth all-time, which is impressive, because he started 1-12-1. Yes, he remembers that start. All episodes begin with Quinnipiac Student Matt Mungo’s call on the Quinnipiac Bobcat Sports Network of the National Championship goal.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks with Joe Dumais, associate head coach of the Quinnipiac Men’s Hockey team. Joe grew up in Maine and somehow made it to Quinnipiac and graduated in the 2006 class. Joe made some stops along the way before starting his eighth year in QU coaching this fall. In Tampa, he was the designer of the play that won the National Championship called “the Jet” and you are going to hear about its design, how often it works (hint: never), and why it worked against the University of Minnesota when overtime started. You are going to love it! All episodes begin with Quinnipiac Student Matt Mungo’s call on the Quinnipiac Bobcat Sports Network of the National Championship goal.

In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks to Corbs. Oh sorry, that’s his hockey nickname, lets be more formal. Keith talks with Mike Corbett, the assistant hockey coach and somewhat of a hockey lifer, who has experienced more than his share of dynamic hockey life. You’ll quickly get that sense as conversation unfolds. At one point a middle-aged (hope that’s okay Mike) coach starts to question his role in college hockey after two different programs shut down. He has many roles at Quinnipiac, and is soaking up all the positivity around the National Championship. Oh, and make sure you hear how Corbs knew Collin Graf when Collin was 15; you'll enjoy where the story picks up. And he thinks there's more growth for a very detailed Collin.
