FALCONCAST: Captain Cookie & Life on the Men's Ice Hockey Team at Fitchburg State

In the Season 2 finale of FalconCast, Jeremy Allik (COMM '25) talked to Oliver "Cookie" Cookson (BSAD '25), a captain of Fitchburg State University's Men's Ice Hockey team.  Cookie discusses his journey as a student-athlete, the appeal of the daily grind of the hockey season -- while looking ahead to next season's team and hopes for success.   Says Cookie, "A lot of the stuff that you know translate to a good life you can find in a good athlete and a good teammate.  So as a leader, that's what I try to strive for."
