On the latest episode of New England Hockey Journal’s RinkWise podcast, Kirk Luedeke is joined by Cushing Academy’s Steve Jacobs and Paul Pearl.
Jacobs, the longtime hockey coach at the Ashburnham, Mass., prep school, stepped down from his post over the summer to take on the position of Cushing’s Director of Boys Hockey.
Pearl, who has coached at the Division 1 level for more than 30 years, is assuming the lead role behind the Penguins’ bench starting with the 2021-22 season.
In the early going of the transition — and prep season not far off — the coaches join Luedeke to discuss a number of hockey topics, from their respective coaching careers to their philosophies for success, the evolution of the hockey program at Cushing and more.
