USHL Fall Classic MiniPod - Tom Gilbert (Madison Capitols)

Tom Gilbert Madison Capitols’ Associate Head Coach and Assistant General Manager Tom Gilbert is celebrating two anniversaries during the 2025-2026 season - the 25th Anniversary of his senior year of high school, where he and his Bloomington Jefferson teammates had their quest for a Minnesota state championship chronicled by author John Rosengren - and the 20th anniversary of his national championship season at the University of Wisconsin.

For nearly 25 minutes, Gilbert shares his feelings about both experiences, plus drops some knowledge for young players on how to grow early in their careers, what it means to share the bench with former Badger teammates Andy Brandt and Shane Connelly, and how his NHL career has helped shape him into the coach he is today.

Hope you enjoy.

USHL Fall Classic MiniPod - Mark Carlson (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders)

Since 1999, Mark Carlson has been the head coach of the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, and has coached the most games in USHL history after surpassing North Iowa and Waterloo legend P.K. O’Handley in February of 2025. 

Now just two wins away from passing O’Handley again for the most USHL career coaching victories, Carlson sits down to discuss why an East Coast guy ended up in Iowa, how the USHL will maintain its uniquely American identity in the changing landscape of junior hockey, and his becoming a part of the fabric of the Cedar Rapids community with his wife Tammy, the RoughRiders’ Director of Sales and Operations. 

Hope you enjoy.
