In his first season in Winston-Salem, Carolina Thunderbirds Head Coach Steve Harrison guided the club to the second best start in franchise history at 14-3. The 2018-19 team started 14-1. Now, the real fun begins.
The division-leading Thunderbirds are on a quest to earn their first FPHL title since 2019 and the approach Harrison is taking in leading his players includes all of the ingredients necessary to bring a championship back to the Triad. The question becomes, can the recipe become perfected enough over the course of the season?
Listen as 'Harry' Harrison details the joy behind coaching, his principals, engaging with such rabid fans like those of the Thunderbirds, and how the relationships with his players always takes center stage.
After 15 seasons as a player professionally in 3 countries, and roughly 25 more years as a coach, Harrison's unique perspective & experience provides substantial value to the Thunderbirds production & development on the ice, yes, but his authenticity & personality are what fans should be equally excited about.
