Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nick Cousins
Q: Which exit do you take into Canadian Tire Centre, Terry Fox or Palladium, and why?
He prefers Terry Fox for being quicker; the guest on the other side chose Palladium, leading to a light-hearted back-and-forth about routes.
Nick Cousins
Q: What was it like bringing the Cup home to Belleville and sharing that moment with family?
He recounted the itinerary from eight in the morning celebrations, golf with the Cup, autograph events, and a Toronto after-party, making it a lifelong memory for him and his community.
Nick Cousins
Q: Did you ever think you could pass the puck, or was scoring always the goal as a kid?
He explained that he loved scoring from a young age and that his parents kept track of stats, suggesting his early focus leaned toward scoring rather than passes.
Nick Cousins
Q: Nick, growing up in Belleville, what was that like?
He described Belleville as a close-knit small community with a strong hockey culture, riding buses to games, playing on the pond, and a family that supported his early development.
Steve Staios
Q: Can you share a personal superstition or routine that you feel connected to your on-ice intensity, and how that translates to leadership?
My routine is less about a single superstition and more about a shared team culture where we adapt routines when they work. We emphasize preparation, timing, and consistency, while also recognizing that a strong, near-familial bond with staff and players sustains that intensity in a healthy, productive way.
