On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast we bring on one of the top young players in the NHL, Alex Tuch. Al has had a great young career that spanned the USA NTDP, 2 years at Boston College, a first round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild, and now playing a pivotal role for the Vegas Golden Knights. This was an incredible conversation into the mind of an elite hockey player, and here were a few of the highlights:
25:10 - Growing up playing against older competition in NY.
33:10 - The ups and downs of playing for the National Team Development Program
37:45 - Playing on a line with Jack Eichel
47:40 - His time playing at Boston College and choosing BC over Cornell!
58:00 - A few great Auston Matthews stories and his experience at Darryl Belfry's 88 summit over the summer.
1:07:10 - The magical run for Vegas to the Stanley Cup finals as an expansion team.
