Bulldog Insider Podcast: From captains to coaches

They were former captains and now they are the two newest assistant coaches for the Bulldogs men's and women's hockey programs.

Ashleigh Brykaliuk from Brandon, Manitoba, and Adam Krause, a native of nearby Hermantown, are both finding their confidence behind the bench as they transition from being a player to a coach for their alma mater.

Both coaches share how the transition is going, what has been the hardest part of the job, how they get past the self-doubt, and what it's like being on the recruiting trail.

Tune in every Thursday to hear Duluth News Tribune college hockey reporter Matt Wellens and My9 Sports commentator Zach Schneider talk about Minnesota Duluth hockey. You can email us at mwellens@duluthnews.com or serkkila@duluthnews.com . This podcast is produced by Samantha Erkkila.
