Bruce talks more about Lou Lamoriello, President and GM of the New York Islanders. He tells of how Lou recruited multi-sport athletes to Providence College he felt they were better well rounded people. Quality people with great character. 

Bruce outlines how Lou had a plan in his life to be successful. He knew what he doing. At some point he said to himself I may not be good enough to play in the NHL but I will get there. He was beyond driven. He always told Bruce in the NHL "it is all about winning". It is that simple.

Bruce says how Dave Gavitt the original commissioner of the BIG EAST, had a great influence on Lou. Mentored him in how the sports business worked from all angles. Almost like an MBA degree in sports before anyone thought of it. There were others at Providence like Mike Tranghese who also were part of the team.
