Joe Bertagna was Hockey East Commissioner for 23 years. His latest book, co-authored with Darren Hersh, is Revisiting Goaltending: A Complementing Guide to Today’s Teaching. Please welcome this 5-9 goaltender out Arlington MA.

In his 50-year career as a player, coach, and college sports administrator, Joe has accrued an impressive array of stories and name-drops that would be the envy of any hockey person. Bill Cleary? Ryan O'Neal? Digit Murphy? Ken Dryden? Scotty Bowman? And many more.
