Talking Beanpot history with Corbett, CCHA with Weston on Jan. 31 edition USCHO Live!

The Jan. 31 episode of USCHO Live! features veteran Boston University broadcaster  Bernie Corbett and USCHO.com CCHA columnist Paula C. Weston.

Bernie will join us to talk about the Beanpot as it turns 60. Ten years ago, he wrote The Beanpot: 50 Years of Thrills, Spills and Chills and is working now on an update to that book. He’ll talk about some of the old great stories of the tournament and look ahead to this year’s event — which starts next Monday.

Paula has been the CCHA columnist for USCHO.com since the website’s inception. She’ll join us to talk about the crazy race for the top in the CCHA and about college hockey in general as the regular season enters its final month.

Join us for the conversation and information, Tuesday, Jan. 31, from 8 to 9 p.m. ET at blogtalkradio.com/uscholive. If you can’t listen live, check out the podcast of USCHO Live! available on the player at the right (click through if you’re reading this via RSS.)
