Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta are joined by David Carle fresh off another National Championship at University of Denver. He reflects on life over the past month, the challenges of recruiting in today’s college hockey landscape, player development, and navigating the transfer portal era. Carle also breaks down what separates elite college players from those who can step right into the NHL and make an impact.

Additionally, Carle shares fascinating insight on projected No. 1 overall pick Gavin McKenna, detailing Denver’s recruitment process and why he views the superstar prospect as “ultra dynamic” with a “wizard-like” sense of the game — even comparing his playmaking instincts to Nikita Kucherov. Plus, he discusses some of his favourite NHL coaches and addresses speculation about a possible jump to the NHL someday, while explaining why he’s very content staying at Denver for now.
