We closed out season 15 of the Gopher Puck Live podcast with quite a bit of chaos happening in college hockey. Denver is the Champ again. The Transfer Portal was/is crazy. Minnesota will look completely different next season and will be a top contender. On top of all of that is the new 5 for 5 NCAA eligibility that is likely coming next fall!

We get in to all of it along with an interesting overtime with beverages! Another great Gopher Puck Live season is in the books!

We had brand new Gopher Hockey Coach Brett Larson on the show. We spent about 20 minutes getting to know Brett and what some of his goals are for his first season behind the Minnesota bench. We also learned what he'd like to see for the NCAA regional format as well. Fun to have him on the show and cannot wait to have him on again!

We also recapped the regionals and preview the Frozen Four with Denver vs Michigan and Wisconsin vs North Dakota!

Brett Larson has been hired away from St. Cloud and is your NEW Gopher Men's Hockey coach! How did this all come together? How does affect the roster? Who is coming and going? So many questions need to be answered.

It is NCAA Regional weekend, the best 4 days of hockey each season. We preview all 4 regions and give you our thoughts.

New Gopher Men's Hockey coach was introduced to the media this afternoon. Took questions. Mark Coyle also took questions as well.

Audio of Minnesota Athletic Director, Mark Coyle, talking about the search to replace Bob Motzko as the Men's Hockey coach.

Minnesota and coach Bob Motzko have "mutually agreed to part ways." Some expected this and some did not, but we had Paul Caponigri on to help us figure it all out. Who will replace Bob? So far the two most prominent names are Garrett Raboin and Ben Barr. We expect a replacement to be named very quickly.

The Gophers head to Penn State to keep their season going in a single game winner take all in the BigTen Tournament quarterfinals. We get in to that as well as the recently completely High School Hockey Tournament.

Coach Motzko, Zach Wiese and Brodie Ziemer talk about the Shootout win over Michigan State.

Coach Motzko talks about the 7-1 loss to Michigan State.
