    Thick & Heavy: Wrapping Up the Season with Coaching Wisdom and Cold Hamms

    The final 2025 season episode of Hockey Guys is an energetic, heartfelt, and occasionally hilarious wrap-up featuring Jeff Bredahl, Crazy Eddie Christian, and Doc Phil Johnson (kind of... he's got a rough phone connection and may or may not be calling from a cruise ship bar 😄). The crew digs deep into what it really takes to win a college hockey national championship, using Western Michigan’s gritty, “thick and heavy” team as the season’s blueprint for success. Along the way, they: Roast their buddy Dean Wilson live from a beach resort 🍹 Reflect on NIL and the transfer portal’s role in team building Welcome Coach Eric Lang, newly named head coach of RPI, who shares recruiting insights and the challenge of building a winning team from scratch Chat with legendary Air Force coach Frank Serratore on how the game is evolving in a “transactional era” of college hockey And of course, there’s love for the game, cold Ham’s beer, and Red Pepper sandwiches 🌯. 📝 Key Takeaways: Winning in college hockey isn’t about glitz—it’s about grit, leadership, and building “thick and heavy” teams that grind every shift. Coaches now have to be part-GM, part-therapist, and full-time recruiters in the NIL era. Programs with committed administrations (like RPI and Western) have a real shot—even against the “money teams.” “Man management” and navigating family/advisory influences are the new off-ice challenges. There's nothing quite like wrapping a season with good laughs and hockey brotherhood. ✨ Listener Favorites: Dean Wilson’s beach call (complete with background bar noise) 🍸 Discussion on whether college hockey needs 5 coaches on a bench 🤔 Coach Lang’s recruiting hustle + Coach Serratore’s spicy NIL takes 💰
