  • Northeastern Next Podcast
    Northeastern Next Podcast Coach Jim Madigan, DMSB’86 6 Beanpots, 1 Chicken Lou Aired on September 14, 2020 Meghan Brisson: Hi Coach Madigan. Welcome to the Northeastern Next podcast. Coach Jim Madigan: Pleasure to be with you. Thanks for having me. Meghan Brisson: I think whether you are a sports fan or not, Northeastern hockey is ingrained in the campus culture, the traditions and memories, and we have three consecutive Beanpot wins. And this past spring, a season that ended too soon due to the pandemic. But beyond coaching, you are a member of the Northeastern family from student to alumni, staff to parent, and I’d just love to dive into where it all began. Coach Jim Madigan: It's 39 years ago this month when I first set foot onto our campus. I was volunteering, helping out with our move in process, and I walked by White Hall, and that's where I moved in as a freshman in the fall, September of 1981. And I had flashbacks about pulling up the car -- and my mom and dad, we drove down from Toronto and moved in. And it was a different Northeastern of course back then, but it was great memories. And it was in that building, White Hall, where I actually met my wife. And this time of the year is always exciting because it's a brand new, fresh faces and crop of new freshmen who are excited to begin their journey at Northeastern and their educational and college journey. You see it's very vibrant around campus, even amongst a different type of move in this year because of COVID-19.
