#52 - Hubie McDonough, NHLer by way of St Anselm College
Hubie McDonough is a 5-foot 9-inch center out of Manchester NH who scored 210 points, 124 goals and 86 assists, for Saint Anselm College on the way to winning the Small College Hobey Baker Award in 1985. He followed that up with a 13-year pro career where he tallied 820 goals and 513 assists for a total of 1333 points, along the way playing 195 NHL games with the LA Kings, NY Islanders and San Jose Sharks.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Hubie and Bob discuss: his rise from tiny St Anselm College to the NHL, the long line of Hubie McDonough sporting legends, bringing the Stanley Cup home to Manchester, getting an assist from 99 on his first NHL goal, the evolution of stick technology, the etymology of “ManchVegas,” and much much more.
