The Rink Live

For the first time since 2014, the St. Cloud State men's hockey team was bounced in the first round of the NCHC tournament when it got swept by Minnesota Duluth last weekend. It may end up being a blessing in disguise with starting goalie David Hrenak and captain Spencer Meier both still trying to recover from the flu and graduate student defenseman Seamus Donohue trying to come back from an upper body injury. Head coach Brett Larson discusses the season, the NCAA tournament outlook and also helps preview the NCHC Frozen Faceoff field with The Rink Live's Mick Hatten.

You hear of hockey players playing through injuries pretty regularly. How about playing through an entire season when you know you have to have surgery to repair an injury? That's what St. Cloud State graduate student Emma Polusny did in 2021-22. She found out before the season she would need surgery to repair a hip labral tear. But she says it may have actually helped her as a goalie. The proof is in the honors. She was named to the All-WCHA First Team and the conference's Goaltender of the Year last week. A candid and fun conversation with Polusny, who has seven career marks in the top five for SCSU goalies.

Nadine Muzerall was an assistant coach for the University of Minnesota women's hockey team from 2011-16. She left her alma mater to take over an Ohio State team that had gone 10-25-1 overall in 2015-16. By 2018, the Buckeyes were playing in the Frozen Four for the first time. Ohio State also reached the Frozen Four in 2021. She discusses some keys to her success as a coach, talks about her time as a player for the University of Minnesota and what got her interested in becoming a coach with The Rink Live's Jess Myers and Mick Hatten. www.therinklive.com
