Making Miracles ft. Glenn Hefferan & Jim Craig

Kick off your morning with the messiest, loudest NHL conversations on Morning Cuppa Hockey!

Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen fire things up with a packed show that blends junior hockey, league-wide chaos, and one of the most iconic stories in hockey history.

We start with Glenn Hefferan joining the show to break down the 2026 Chipotle All-American Game at USA Hockey Arena, the evolving USHL landscape, whether the type of player choosing the league is changing, and how realistic USHL–CHL collaboration really is. The conversation also dives into scouting showcases like the CHL–USA Prospects Challenge, trends around elite prospects staying in high school longer, why NHL Central Scouting lists remain CHL-heavy, and the biggest challenges facing the USHL right now.

Next, the guys hit the NHL talking points, including another embarrassing effort from the New York Rangers, the Buffalo Sabres continuing to stack wins, signs that the New Jersey Devils may finally be putting it together, and Darren Dreger reporting that the Vancouver Canucks are listening on Elias Pettersson.

Then, Olympic gold medalist Jim Craig joins the show to reflect on the Miracle on Ice, the physical and mental grind of playing every minute in 1980, the challenge of resetting for the gold-medal game against Finland, Herb Brooks’ demanding coaching style, and whether a true Miracle could still happen in today’s game.
