From Moose Country to Vegas: Dom Ducharme Joins the Pod to Chat Mooseheads, Memorial Cup, and His Journey to Coaching in the NHL

On today's episode, Scott and Brad sit down with one of the most important figures in Halifax Mooseheads history — Dominique Ducharme.

Dom walks us through his journey from coaching the Moose to Memorial Cup champion, World Junior gold, leading the Montreal Canadiens to a Stanley Cup final, and now assistant coach with the Vegas Golden Knights.

You'll hear:

Stories from his time in Halifax with Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, Martin Frk, and Cam Critchlow

How he built a winning culture and turned a losing group into a powerhouse

What it was actually like coaching in Montreal during that magical 2021 Stanley Cup Final run

Why he still follows the Mooseheads, QMJHL, and his former players all over the world

His philosophy on development, leadership, discipline (yes, that Dome story), and preparing a team for the "final exam"

Scott and Brad also open the show by recapping a wild afternoon at Scotiabank Centre: wiener dogs, a broken Zamboni door, eight Mooseheads power plays, and a touching tribute to longtime anthem singer Peter Baylis.
