Zach Metsa

My wife is from Hampton, Connecticut.

And moving to Connecticut years ago, she'd always run across people.

you look familiar.

And I would always say, you're from Hamden, you're from Hamden, she's from Hamden, figure out how you know each other.

The Hamden and Quinnipiac stories that you have for years to come of just being able to make a phone call, knock on the door for people of, you know, of what we've been talking about here, Zach, is just is tremendous.

So I'll get into this of Pat was in here earlier, before we got underway.

I said, you know, Zach has a book.

Now, we're not gonna, don't write the book until your playing career is over.

But you have a book.

And the book turns into a movie just on your career as a hockey player all the way through and your life.

It's just everything you've done.

Even that quote from Lindy that I started with, everything you've done, you've grinded at, you've worked hard.

You even touched on your first couple of years at Quinnipiac.

And when you talked about the rookie lap and you said, you didn't say, I got here.

You said, we got here.

It's a long list of people that are involved with that.

And I know I'm going on here, but just that book has such – the ending is way down the road.

But the first couple of chapters, 150, 200 pages in, you don't put that book down.

You don't put the Zach

Metza book down.

The first 150 pages, there would be a lot of – You'd see all the struggles.

It was hard to get to Quinnipiac.

It was hard when I first got here.

And like we talked about before, the people that we had here, the people I'm lucky enough to have in my family that always pushed me and were there for me when things weren't going the way I thought it would.

There's always those acknowledgements in those books, and it's like, oh, thank you to this.
