Bemidji State assistant coach Mike Gibbons discusses the Beavers, CCHA, shares college hockey and Bob Peters memories -- Ep. 109

Mike Gibbons has played or coached hockey for 60 years and is one of the great storytellers in the game. He played college hockey for Bob Peters at Bemidji State from 1975-79 and was a two-time All-American as a defenseman and helped the Beavers win a national title. Peters also enticed Gibbons to start his coaching career in 1981 at Bemidji State. Gibbons shares some of his memories of Peters, who died recently. Gibbons also discusses this season's Bemidji State team, coaching against St. Cloud State (where he was an assistant for 13 seasons), coaching at Northern Michigan and a lot more with The Rink Live's Mick Hatten and Jess Myers. 2:00 Memories of former Bemidji State coach R.H.
