3/8 D-Fly & Dixie with Denver’s Alec Stathakis

Last week provided all sorts of drama and storylines, and this week the party continues with seven marquee matchups between Top 25 teams. We’ll look back on that wild week, sit down with a captain from the nation’s new No. 1-ranked team, Alec Stathakis, and preview those special games ahead this week.

In the interview, Stathakis and guys discuss the coaching change in Denver, the Pios fast start to the season and climb to No. 1, the face-off tradition at Denver, maintaining health and fitness during a grueling season, how Culver prepared him for college, the upcoming game against Yale and so much more.
