About this listen
Episode 84: Ben Syer. Ben grew up in a small town and was drawn to hockey immediately. Coming from a family of teacher’s, Ben knew the act of hard work and earning everything you got. He would go on to play Junior B hockey before attending Western University. After University, Ben would get an opportunity at Quinnipiac University that would change his career path forever. Since this opportunity, Ben has been involved in college hockey for the past 20 + years. He worked 10+ years at Quinnipiac University, 13 years at Cornell before moving on to Princeton where he just finished his first season as Head Coach. We joked about his early days of recruiting where he carried around a huge binder with players names and contacts in it. We talked about how he learned over the years of working alongside great coaches and how he was ready to make the jump to the big chair. Ben also shared the types of players he looks to recruit at his programs. Unfortunately the video feed malfunctioned a bit and only works when I am speaking. Luckily the audio from Ben is still there so you can hear him speaking. It was great to talk to Ben and someone who has been involved in college hockey for so long. Hope you enjoy!
