For episode 311 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome Meghan Duggan, the Director of Player Development for the New Jersey Devils.

While most fans may know her best as the Captain of Team USA, you may soon know her as a possible candidate to become the first female General Manager in NHL history.

Duggan attended the University of Wisconsin, where she would help the Badgers capture three National titles and captain the program in her senior season. In total, she represented the United States at three Olympics and eight World Championships, capturing eight Gold Medals.

Following retirement, she would join the Devils as their Manager of Player Development in 2021 before being promoted to her current role a year later.

Listen as he shares how she approaches developing hockey sense, the power of being a vulnerable leader and her aspirations to advance as an executive in hockey.

For episode 310 of the Glass and Out Podcast we were down in St. Paul for TCS Live Minnesota and had the chance to sit down with Wild Head Coach John Hynes.

The coaching conference was in support of the Minnesota Wild Foundation's Skate It Forward initiative. The Wild have a goal to cover the registration fee for every first year player in the state and provide families who benefit from the program the opportunity to pay it forward by making a donation that in turn gets another youngster on the ice.

Hynes is entering his third season in Minnesota and will also serve as an Assistant Coach for the U.S. Men's Team at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

He started out his coaching career as an Assistant Coach at his alma mater, Boston University, and has rounded all the bases in his nearly 30 year coaching journey to eventually lead three National Hockey League teams.

Listen as he shares tips on designing and executing a practice plan, why performance starts with relationship building, and the importance of betting on yourself.

In episode 309 of the Glass and Out Podcast we have the pleasure of being joined by Penn State University Head Coach Guy Gadowsky.

One could argue that outside of the NHL, no hockey team in the world will receive as much attention as the Nittany Lions this upcoming season.

Led by Gadowsky, the program is coming off its first trip to the Frozen Four and this offseason, recruited a ton of talent to an already loaded roster, including the consensus #1 pick in the upcoming NHL draft, Gavin McKenna.

He has coached the program since 2011 and is one of those people who it’s really tough to be in a bad mood when you’re around him. His energy and passion is infectious. He just lifts up whatever room he’s in.

Listen as he shares the importance of a well defined team structure, the keys to finding chemistry with high-end talent, and overcoming adversity on the way to a Frozen Four birth.
