Heave Away

Anthony Passero joins the Heave Away podcast to share how important the Fort Erie Meteors are to his family, the team it owns and he currently coaches. Also on the show, hear about his reasoning to transfer to Oswego State, how Josh Zizek impacted the decision and how the 2019-20 team faced more challenges than people actually knew.

Devin Campbell joins the show to chat about his current work in hockey as an assistant coach with the Carleton Place Canadians and his 2.5 year career with the Lakers.

Despite third period troubles, Oswego State took care of business at Nazareth College, ending the 2021 portion of the season on a 5-game road trip. Plus hear from former Laker David Richer about his career in France and the green and gold.

The Lakers provided exactly what Matt was asking for just one weekend ago: a dominant performance, as they outscored Morrisville and Canton 13-3. Also on the show, Ben speaks with former Oswego State and current Nazareth College head coach George Roll who will host the Lakers on Saturday for their final game of 2021.

After a pair of wins against Williams College and three winnable games to end the 2021 portion of the season, the guys figure now is a great opportunity for the Lakers to go on a run and start to find their game at even strength. Plus, Matt speaks with assistant coach Jon Whitelaw to see what the power play has done so well and where the coaching staff is at with one-third of the season completed.

After a disappointing loss to Geneseo and 0 goals at even strength this past weekend, Matt wonders if it is going to take longer than he expected for the offensive output to get there given how young the team is. Also on the show, Ben sees this coming weekend against Williams as a chance to develop internally and help the team in a long-term sense. 

Matt and Ben look back at a narrow win over SUNY Cortland and how it might look like an even better win after the Red Dragons took down Hobart. Later in the show, Ben speaks with former Geneseo Knight and current grad assistant Devin McDonald as the Lakers prepare for what Matt calls the biggest weekend of the regular season.

After the first weekend of conference play, the guys realize that there are no freebie games in the SUNYAC after the season-long hiatus. Also on the show, hear from head coach Ed Gosek and a preview of Friday's Teal Game.

One week into the season and Ben and Matt already disagree regarding the importance of the early non-conference losses to Hobart and Elmira. Also hear from coach Ed Gosek on the Hobart loss and Travis Broughman joins Ben.

The exhibition season is over and the Oswego State men's hockey team is getting set for its first regular season game in over a year. Matt and Ben recap the exhibition slate before Matt is joined by Mark Taylor of the Hobart Statesmen. Later in the show, the guys explain just how difficult this first weekend may be with two really talented teams on the docket in Hobart and Elmira.
