In this episode, Bob welcomes Harrison Markell, a junior defenseman for the Dartmouth Big Green. They speak about Harrison's journey from learn to skate in Andover MA to ECAC hockey in Hanover NH. Prior to Dartmouth, he was a 3-year player for the Junior Bruins, where in his final year, he was an assistant captain and the top defenseman in the NCDC. In his high school years, he was an all-ISL player with the MIddlesex School in Concord MA. And before that, he was part of a stacked 97 Valley Junior Warriors squad that in 2010 advanced all the way to the USA Hockey semi-finals. 

In addition to his own amazing adventure as a player, Harrison has been fortunate to play against and with some of the best kids in his age group. Bob slavishly evokes a lot of name-dropping and shares a fair amount of Dartmouth (and Cornell) hockey history.

Full disclosure: Bob knows Harrison's dad since Cornell days, and there are a few issues to discuss there.
