We catch up with Peter Taglianetti, a two time Stanley Cup Champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins. 

Peter talks about starting his sports career in Framingham Massachuetts. His mom wanted him to play sports so he would have something to do. He was six years old when he began to play hockey and it was just for fun with his friends. Peter also played baseball which he feels was a good break for him from the game of hockey and helped in ways to think differently in sports.

He mentions today how hockey has become to robotic and not enough of flow game. The over use of video at young age has hurt the development of players. Just letting them play and figuring out things helps a player grow more. 

His sophomore year of high school was when things started to work for him in hockey. In his junior year his coach set up a plan to keep him on the ice for the whole game and not come off. He thought was great to play the whole game but it did not help in his development because he had to save energy to play the whole game.

What changed the course of his young career was playing the "Hockey Night in Boston" tournament. Back when he played only 80 players were selected to play. Mike Addessa who was the head coach at the time of RPI was his coach and saw things in his game. 

Steve O'Neill who was the captain of the Providence College hockey team at the time from his his hometown told Lou Lamoriello about him and said you should see him play. Lou came to meet Peter and he felt Providence was the right fit for him. Small school with small classes. He felt a big school would be too difficult to adjust.
