On this episode of Blue Line Banter I am joined by the legendary ice hockey coach Bill Beaney.  Coach Beaney led the Middlebury College men’s ice hockey team to 8 NCAA National Championships including five straight from 1995-1999.  Our discussion covered lessons learned from his college coach and mentor Charlie Holt, the importance of small area games in practice, his overall coaching philosophy, and of course the epic National Championship run in the late 90s. Coach Bill Beaney is one of the winningest ice hockey coaches in NCAA history and I’ll always remember the wisdom he shared with me during our talk together.
