This week on the Daly Dose, we are joined by Dr. Sammy Vogel-Seidenberg who is a professor and Faculty Athletic Representative at Dominican University of California, where he’s spent years shaping the next generation of athletes and sports leaders!
He’s also a former hockey player, NCAA head lacrosse coach and assistant athletic director with a deep background in coaching, recruiting, and sports administration. But what really sets him apart is his research. Dr. Vogel-Seidenberg recently completed his PhD in Sports Leadership, with his dissertation titled The Role of Physicality in Professional Hockey: Examining the Impact of Fighting and Hitting on Gameplay, Team Dynamics, and Success.
If you’ve ever wondered how physical play influences a team’s performance or whether fighting still has a place in today’s NHL, you’re going to love this conversation!
We discuss the impact that physicality can have on a game, why legislating physicality out of the game can actually be dangerous to players, plus Dr. Sammy answers our questions about who is the greatest hockey fighter ever, as well as his pick for who will eventually win the Stanley Cup this season!
