In segment two we transition to Peter headed to Providence College and playing for Lou Lamoriello. 

He found the guys were bigger and stronger and everyone was a good player. As we have talked in the past the talent pool shrank and everyone could play at high level. Had to learn to balance classes and playing hockey in school. Freshman year he did not play much but got into games in the second half of the season. One tough thing was Peter's dad was sick and died during his freshman season. Lou protected him and kept him at school even though his dad was sick back home. 

Things he learned about Lou in his freshman year and stuck with him, he could anticipate what you were going to ask when it came to the team. One thing he stressed with the team, "don't think" just anticipate what is going to happen. Learn to react to each play as it unfolds. 

Peter tells a great story about Lou involving him and how it helped with team chemistry. It is a great listen to Peter's time with Lou Lamoriello at Providence College.
