Summary

Watch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/Qw7WkLJnspw In Episode 350 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by new Head Coach of the Edmonton Oilers, Mike Babcock. While Babcock is one of the most polarising figures in the game, he's also one of the most accomplished coaches in hockey history. He is currently the only coach in the Triple Gold Club, having won a Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, and a World Championship gold. Babcock made his NHL debut behind the bench of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2002 and took the team to the Stanley Cup Final in his first season. In 2005 he joined the Detroit Red Wings, where over ten seasons he won the Stanley Cup in 2008. He later coached the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2015 to 2019, helping rebuild the franchise around a young core. You can check out his 2023 TCS Live interview with Elliotte Friedman where he shares memories from the 2010 Gold Medal Victory for Team Canada. Listen as he shares why fun is the number one goal this year for the Oilers, his rule for defensive zone coverage, and the importance of being direct in your communication.
