In this interview, I had the pleasure of chatting with University of Maine Men’s Hockey head coach, Coach Ben Barr, to discuss the Black Bears’ incredible season as they climb to #4 in the national rankings.
Coach Barr shares insights on what it takes to maintain their competitive edge, the power of home-ice advantage in Orono, recruitment, and his thoughts on Maine’s unique culture—“the way life should be.”
We also highlight this weekend’s events:
Saturday, 12/28/24: Meet the staff and student-athletes at the Bear Down Collective event at the Shipyard Tasting Room.
Sunday, 12/29/24: The Black Bears take on Bentley in front of a sold-out crowd at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland!
