When they first met, Bacon was a 22-year old assistant hockey coach at Culver Academies, and Kevin Dean was the captain of one of the nation’s best teams, and an AP history student. Dean went onto play 7 years in the NHL, and has since served as an assistant coach for five seasons with Boston and Chicago.

Decades of pro hockey have taught Dean “high standards help you, not hurt you; the best players want you to coach them; and you have to be honest with your people, without being emotional.”

In this episode Dean explains how he learned all this with great stories about Culver’s Al Clark, and great NHL captains like New Jersey’s Scott Stevens, Boston’s Patrice Bergeron, and Chicago’s Jonathan Toews.

Be sure to join this fun, quick, and clever conversation.
