Description
On the latest edition of “The Parting Schotts Podcast,” Daily Gazette of Schenectady (N.Y.) sports editor Ken Schott talks college hockey and college football.
Schott has interviews from Tuesday’s media availability with Union men’s and women’s hockey. On the men’s side, it’s captain Cullen Ferguson and alternate captains Josh Nixon, Caden Villegas, John Prokop and Nick Young. On the women’s side, it’s assistant coach Shawn Skelly and players Maren Friday, Emma Hebert and Sophie Matsoukas.
The Union men’s hockey team is starting its season this weekend at Messa Rink with an exhibition game against Providence on Saturday and the regular-season opener Sunday against Army West Point. Schott talks to both team’s head coaches, Providence’s Nate Leaman, who is making his first visit to Messa since resigning as Union head coach to take over at Providence in 2011; and Army West Point’s Brian Riley, who will be coaching his final season.
The Gazette’s Adam Shinder talks about local college football. He joins Schott to review UAlbany’s and Union’s losses last weekend and preview their games this weekend.
