This week, the freshly crowned NCAA champions join The Next Turn. Sara Rask is currently wrapping up her college career in Denver after a few years with the Swedish national team and the Europa Cup circuit and is now living that student-athlete life with zero regrets and no World Cup pressure. Johs Braathen Herland is a first-year at University of Utah, but as you’ll hear, he is eyeing the big leagues and dreams of being a part of Norway’s Attacking Vikings. And Jayden Buckrell who came up through the provincial system, stuck it out in Canada, and is now tearing it up as a freshman with the University of New Hampshire. Together, the three break down the East vs West NCAA rivalry, what it’s like to win titles in your first year, and the very real challenges of balancing student life with high-level performance. They also reflect on the value of an NCAA championship — not just in North America, but in their home countries — and how the collegiate circuit stacks up against NorAm and Europa Cup racing. All this and some good old fashioned college pride and rivalry make for an awesome conversation. As always, hosts Martin, Cara and Jeff share their “SWIX Thoughts of the Day”.
