Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and via livestream last night for our McCormack Executive in Residence Fireside Chat, featuring this year's EIR @[National Hockey League \(NHL\)](urn:li:organization:8882) Commissioner Gary Bettman and former NHL GM and @[PWHL](urn:li:organization:96663154) executive Brian Burke. It was a great day of interviews, classroom visits and engaging questions. Not even a little bit of hockey weather could keep us from proceeding! A very special thank you to the team at the NHL that made this possible, the UMass Athletics Department, Coach Carvel and the UMass hockey program, Isenberg Marketing and Communications, and everyone else who helped to make this event a success. #McCormackProud @[Isenberg School of Management, UMass Amherst](urn:li:organization:2468374)
