Although he admits to mostly chirping at his own teammates, including Coach Sandelin at the end of this episode, UMD junior defenseman Scott Perunovich doesn’t mind being given the title of best chirper on the team.

The two-time All-American and Hibbing native shares when the most opportune times are during a game to talk a little smack and who are the best chirpers in the NCHC. 

A 2018 second-round pick of the St. Louis Blues, Perunovich also talks about his communication with the NHL, his back injury from last year and how that played a role in his decision to come back for another season as a Bulldog.
