Warrior interview #1

The Merrimack College men’s ice hockey program has been doing very well when it comes to bringing in top class recruits under the new head coach Scott Borek who was named head coach after former men’s ice hockey head coach Mark Dennehy was fired back in March. Dennehy spent 13 seasons with the warriors only appearing in one Hockey east championship game. One of Merrimacks commits comes from a 1998 born goaltender James Corcoran who will be arriving at merrimack in 2019. Corcoran who played for Walpole high school also played for the winchendon school was invited to the Boston Bruins development camp last summer.
I interviewed Corcoran when he committed back in March, here are clips of the interview. 

Q: You are a very good goaltender and I am sure that you got many division one offers, what stood out to you at merrimack that didn’t stand out at other schools?

A: Well Merrimack was my first offer but it was the School that I always wanted to go to so when the offer can I took it as soon as I could.

Q: What are you most excited about when knowing that your going to head to Merrimack College to play D1 Hockey? 

A: I am really looking forward to just having a good experience on and off the ice and growing as a student athlete

Q: Finally coming in you will be behind Logan Halladay, what do you think he can learn from you and you can learn from him

A: Yeah I met him when I toured he is a really good kid and a great goalie. I hope to just learn from the experience he has being older and having played at this level for longer but I’m not sure what he will learn from me.
