In this week’s EHL Summer Coaches Series interview, Jake Basile interviews Nic Cota, head coach of the Express Hockey Club. Cota reflects on the team’s most successful season, which included a regular-season title and a 16-game winning streak. He attributes the team’s success to a focus on recruiting good people, not just good players. They discuss the team’s dominant special teams and the defensive strength of the team, which finished first in goals against. Cota praises the goaltending duo of Alex Koenig and Lukas Toth and highlights the development program that successfully transitions players from their Premier team to the next level. Cota emphasizes the importance of transparency and honesty with his players, which he believes is the reason for the team’s high in-season retention and lack of trades.
