Episode 79: Chris MacKenzie. UConn Women's hockey coach Chris MacKenzie joined the prohockeypod this week. Chris grew up in Niagara Falls where he played minor hockey before jumping to Junior C and then Junior B. We talked about how him going level by level was good for his development. Ending his junior career with an Ontario championship, Chris took at chance and committed to a brand new D3 school, Niagara University. This new powerhouse was coached by Blaise MacDonald, who would have a big impact on Chris's life and career. Niagara would play 2 years at D3, win a championship in year 2 before being promoted to D1, where they didn't miss a step. They would beat a lot of top teams as a new program and went on an NCAA Tournament run in Chris's senior season. After graduating, Chris would head to Finland to play a year of pro hockey with TPS. After that season, Chris would get a job as an Assistant Coach at UMass-Lowell, who was coached by Blaise MacDonald. We talked about his 8 seasons there and how he continued to learn from Blaise. After Lowell, Chris would return to Niagara University as a Head Coach, but on the Women's side. This is where we would cross paths, as I was in my freshman year at Niagara. The Women's program would be shut down a few years later and Chris ended up at University of Connecticut as the Women's HC. We talked about the type of athlete's he looks to recruit at UConn, where he found the program and how much they have progressed over his 12 seasons (and counting), capped off by a division championship and NCAA Tournament bid in 23/24. We also dove into how the women's game has grown over the years and where Chris sees it continuing to go. Hope you enjoy!

Travis, Vince, Darren, The Chat, and a few brave callers all weigh in on LAFC's frustrating 1-0 loss to Houston, yes you read that right, LAFC's 1-0 loss, to Houston. With a rotated squad, we hoped we'd find a player who'd step up with an opportunity to show they deserve some more minutes or cement their role as a reliable depth piece, but no, in fact we showed almost nothing in that match, and Houston also showed almost nothing but a Jack McGlynn goal, making for an incredibly boring match. So we do our best to find SOMETHING entertaining for you to enjoy in the postgame show, including MANY completely unrelated topics we dive into after moving on from our (surprisingly legitimate, in retrospect) breakdown of the actual game.
