Inside Atlantic Hockey

Sacred Heart head coach CJ Marottolo joins the show for the first time this season in what has been a very unusual season for him and his Pioneers. Sacred Heart has faced multiple COVID pauses during the season, but they've laced up the skates whenever they can and have started playing their best hockey when it matters most.

Bentley captain Charlie Marchand joins Bernie to talk Falcon hockey, the unusual situation of having over 5 weeks off due to COVID right in the middle of the season, and what he expects for Bentley during the closing stretch of the season.

Head Coach of the Atlantic Hockey-leading AIC Yellow Jackets, Eric Lang, joins Bernie on this week's Inside Atlantic Hockey coach segment. Eric and Bernie talk about how the team has handled COVID restrictions, the sacrifices they've made to get to this point of the season, and how the focus has helped spur their success this season.

Mercyhurst defenseman Joe Maziarz joins Bernie on Inside Atlantic Hockey this week. Mercyhurst has come on strong lately and Joe was at the center of their success in two wins over No. 17 Robert Morris last week. He talks with Bernie about how his approach has changed due to COVID-19 restrictions and his play so far this year.

Bentley returned to the ice after a 5-week pause as the Falcons dealt with COVID-19, but much to the excitement of Head Coach Ryan Soderquist, Bentley came out with a strong performance Tuesday night. He talks about dealing with the pause and how he thinks his team is finding their identity as, while they're just 6 games into the season, is nearing the end stages before the tournament.

Mason Krueger has been a fixture in the Army lineup, playing in his 100th game against LIU last week. The senior is used to unpredictability in his cadet life, but COVID-19 has brought that to another level. He talks with Bernie about his experience in an odd season.

Crusader Head Coach David Berard joins Bernie to talk all things Holy Cross hockey. His team has been together for a few years now and been through quite a few ups and downs, so much so that Coach Berard believes it helped prepare them for the unpredictability of the season.

Robert Morris owns the second-longest winning streak in the nation currently and one of the reasons behind it is veteran leaders and performers like Nick Prkusic. Nick joins Bernie (apologies for Bernie calling him Nathan) to discuss that and more on this week's episode.

The Mercyhurst Lakers are young, with only two seniors, but Coach Rick Gotkin sees his freshmen and sophomores maturing and coming together entering the home stretch of the season. He joins Bernie to discuss the season so far and what he thinks his Lakers can do moving forward.
