## Resource

On this summer edition of Morning Cuppa Hockey, Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen are joined by Denver Pioneers head coach David Carle for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of college hockey. Carle discusses constantly being linked to NHL coaching openings, why he remains committed to Denver, how he handles those rumours with his players and administration, and the family culture the Pioneers have built. They dive into Carle’s proposal to overhaul the NCAA recruiting calendar, age-based eligibility changes, the ideal number of games for a college hockey season, experimenting with Thursday and Friday games, growing hockey in the United States through the NCAA, his own future in the sport, and how Denver continues to recruit and develop elite talent. After the interview, Jonny and Colby break down Denver’s player development and sports science model, the problems with recruiting players too young, whether college hockey needs a commissioner, the disappearance of NHL bridge deals and how NIL and revenue sharing could impact player decisions, before closing with the latest on Dylan Larkin’s trade situation and what comes next for the Detroit Red Wings. #MorningCuppaHockey #NHL #CollegeHockey TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro 3:40 - David Carle Joins the Show 4:40 - NHL Coaching Rumours & Staying at Denver 10:07 - Building a Family Culture at Denver 12:09 - Fixing the NCAA Recruiting Calendar 19:45 - NCAA Age-Based Eligibility Changes 23:20 - Should College Hockey Play More Games? 29:34 - Thursday-Friday Hockey & Growing the College Game 34:19 - What’s Next for David Carle? 37:00 - Denver’s Recruiting & Development Model 41:22 - Why Denver Develops Players So Well 48:02 - Is Youth Hockey Recruiting Starting Too Early? 51:22 - The Ideal College Hockey Schedule 56:13 -…
