Summary: <p>Hockey is Topher Scott’s life. When an injury in high school forced him to look outside the Big 10, he found himself at Cornell, a serendipitous twist of fate. Topher's Cornell experience has since shaped his life in almost every facet, from meeting his wife on campus, to assistant coaching the Cornell men's hockey team for five years, to remaining in upstate NY to raise his young family and pursue numerous hockey-related endeavors.</p> <p>Listen in as Topher chats with Juliana Garcia about playing on a championship Cornell Hockey team, what he loves about coaching, why he's an advocate for fighting in hockey, and much more.</p> <p><em>“It was an amazing experience for sure. Playing in front of a sold out crowd pretty much every night and hockey is such a big deal, not just at Cornell but the whole Ithaca area … I still kind of get goosebumps even thinking about it.”</em></p> <p>Check out Topher's podcast and hockey development website at <a href="https://thehockeythinktank.com/">https://thehockeythinktank.com/</a>.</p> <p>Read the <a href="https://cornell.box.com/s/iyrnli6u5bsmrr49nodzkn80qo1f32z7">episode transcript.</a></p> <p>Episode recorded at the <a href="https://as.cornell.edu/language-resource-center">Language Resource Center</a> on Cornell's Ithaca Campus.<br> Created and produced by Amanda Massa.<br> Music by Kia Albertson-Rogers '13, <a href="https://anchor.fm/freshfromthehill/episodes/koa3@cornell.edu">koa3@cornell.edu</a>.<br> Artwork by Chris Kelly. </p> <p>*The views expressed by <em>Fresh from the Hill</em> hosts and guests do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of Cornell University.</p>
