Chen Tiya

...

so my, like I've been working a lot with, uh, Tia Chan, who's, uh, just signed a three-year deal with San Jose in the PWHL, and was an unbelievably good college goalie.

And I remember having this conversation with her going into her last year of college where her goalie coach was trying to ch- make some changes in the way she played in the post and like incorporate more RVH stuff.

And, uh, she was just like, "I just don't like, I'm not comfortable in RVH." And I'm like, "Well, then why, why you wanna do it?" And she's like, "Well, th- just what happens at the next level if I can't do it?" I said, "Well, if you can't do it at the next level, how do you know it's not gonna work till you get there?" You might be making a change thinking it won't work when at the end of the day, your instincts are so good, your athleticism is so good, your positioning is so good, that it still might work.

A strong start there could earn him a call-up, and if it comes during a Habs-Sens game, we'll of course be watching.

Tia Chan was last year's Women's College Hockey Goalie of the Year, and now she's pro.

Chan grew up in Hamilton, Ontario and got her start in net because, well, her two brothers needed someone to shoot on.

At UConn, she became the program's all-time leader in wins, save percentage, and shutouts.

I'm going to give it...

Because they don't have Tia Chan anymore.

UConn doesn't.

So...

Yeah.

Abby Murphy, you're going to have Tia Chan and Nett.

Like, it's going to be sick.

Yeah.

And UConn ended up winning the Hockey East regular season title, going to the NCAA tournament for the second time.

Tia Chan in net HCA goaltender of the year.

That's like the Richter award equivalent on the women's side.

She is gone.

I think if we get a win out of UConn this weekend, I think it'll be just fine.

A team that... figures to be a tournament contender they certainly are going to be a hockey east contender and it might just be a one-bit league like it has been for the last several years but you know these can be important wins for saint cloud to pick up you get one of these wins against a team like yukon this weekend i think that's that's just fine are you expecting saint cloud to get a win this weekend or maybe even two

Yeah, that's going to be the most interesting aspect, I think, from a UConn perspective is going to be who is going to take over the mantle between the pipes for Tia Chan, who was, you know, essentially dominant throughout last season.

So it's...

My resume scrolled across the screen, like star Wars intro.

Um, my parting shot is I would like to thank, uh, Bruggen goalie, Tia Chan and Bruggen shooter, Kyla.

One time,

one time, only one time.

That's my parting shot.

Awesome.

Yeah, no, Tia Chan, she's amazing.

Big fan.
