Red birds symbolize passion, courage, war, health, well-being, culture, and tradition. There are many red birds with many different symbols, yet they all have one thing in common: their bold and passionate nature. This absolutely symbolizes our new Redbird associate coach and former captain, Patrick Delisle-Houde. As you listen to the podcast, you will remark that each one of these adjectives above are in his story and the way he tells it. Patrick Delisle-Houde has been appointed as full-time associate coach with the McGill University men's hockey program. A native of Quebec City who turned 30 on Aug. 15, Delisle-Houde (BSc Kinesiology '15, MSc '17), returns to his alma mater after four years with the Montreal Canadiens, where he served as the NHL team's strength and conditioning coordinator. Currently working on his doctorate thesis at McGill, he has published several essays dealing with training methods, strength and conditioning and physiology to name a few. "The ultimate team player, Pat has a relentless work ethic and commits himself to improving his craft on a daily basis," said Urquhart, who first mentored him while serving as assistant coach at McGill. "He brings passion, strong leadership skills and an understanding of how sports science contributes to team success." Both bench bosses have earned undergrad and master's degrees from McGill which provides the program with arguably one of the most educated coaching tandems in Canadian university hockey history. "PDH", as he is known, missed only four games over his five seasons at McGill, from 2012 to 2017, where he served his final two years as team captain. The 6-foot-1, 194-pound forward tallied 171 points, including 68 goals, in 204 games overall, to go along with 318 penalty minutes. He ranks second in the team record book for most career contests played, seven shy of the standard set by Evan Vossen. In 2012-13, PDH merited OUA all-rookie team honours and he culminated that freshman campaign with the Guy Lafleur Trophy, presented to the Quebec university player who best combines hockey excellence with academic success and citizenship. In each of his five seasons, he earned Academic All-Canadian status as well as making the Principal's Student-athlete Honour Roll. Prior to enrolling at McGill, PDH skated four seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, suiting up with both Rimouski (2008-2011) and Moncton (2011-12), where he posted a combined 70-113-183 record in 286 regular season games.

David Urquhart was appointed full-time head coach of the McGill University men's hockey team in May, 2021. A 2018 inductee to the McGill Sports Hall of Fame, Urquhart spent the previous three seasons as an assistant coach of the San Diego Gulls, an American Hockey League affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks. During that span, he helped guide the team to a 92-60-17 record in regular season play and three playoff berths. The 36-year-old native of Thorold, Ont., is the 30th bench boss in team history and the 13th former McGill player to take the helm of the historic 144-year-old program, which played its first game on Jan. 31, 1877. He replaced Liam Heelis, who was serving as interim bench boss. Urquhart played for McGill and served four years as a full-time assistant coach (2014-2018) under the direction of Kelly Nobes. He also was head coach of the Serbian national team at the 2018 IIHF Div. 2 world hockey championship. A graduate of McGill's Desautels school of management in 2008, Urquhart majored in finance and entrepreneurship. In 2019, he completed a master's degree in sports psychology at McGill. For his thesis, he interviewed six of the most successful coaches in U SPORTS and the NCAA to discuss their coaching vision and learn how they built cultures of excellence to win multiple national championships for their respective programs. Urquhart was recruited to McGill in 2004 out of the GHJHL, where he skated for the Welland Cougars (2001-2004) and Thorold Blackhawks (2000-2002). During his McGill playing career, Urquhart was a three-time OUA all-star from 2004 to 2008. He also merited All-Canadian honours -- earning a berth on the second team in 2006-07 -- and concluded a brilliant university career with 23 goals and 107 points, along with 330 penalty minutes, in 147 games overall. More than a dozen years after his last varsity contest, he remains tied with Mike Babcock as the ninth-highest overall point-scoring defenceman in McGill history. He trails Marc-André Dorion (192 points), Dominic Talbot-Tassi (190), Gilles Hudon (152), Martin Routhier (135), Ryan McKiernan (117), David Bahl (110), Bryan Larkin (109) and Luc Latulippe (109). Named to the OUA all-rookie squad during his freshman year, Urquhart won the Bobby Bell Trophy as Team MVP in his third collegiate season and in his senior year, he captained McGill to the Ontario University Athletics conference championship in 2008. It marked McGill's first Queen's Cup league title since 1946. Fluent in three languages -- including French and Italian -- Urquhart also speaks some German. He was a two-time OUA conference nominee for the Randy Gregg trophy, awarded nationally for combining hockey ability with academics and citizenship. He made the Principal's Student-athlete Honour Roll, merited Academic All-Canadian honours, won the Richard Pound Trophy for athletics leadership over his McGill career and received the University's prestigious Gretta Chambers Award for student leadership. Urquhart went on to a solid professional career, including stints in the AHL with Hartford (2008-10) and Hamilton (2010-11), where the six-foot, 195-pound rearguard played 130 regular season games, scoring six goals and 23 points to go along with 78 penalty minutes. He also had stints in the East Coast Hockey League with Charlotte and Wheeling. He then headed overseas to play for three years in Italy, where he patrolled the blueline for teams in Valpellice (2011-12) and Pontebba (2012-13) before guiding Ritten-Renon to a league championship in 2014.
