Episode 130: Greg Fargo - Head Coach of the New York Sirens (PWHL) and Founder of Fargo Hockey

On this episode we talk with Greg Fargo, head coach of the New York Sirens in the PWHL and founder of Fargo Hockey. We discuss Greg's journey from playing goalie at Elmira College to building Colgate's women's hockey program into a national powerhouse over 12 seasons, including four ECAC championships, two Frozen Fours, and a national championship appearance. Greg shares why he made the leap from college to the PWHL, his "We Play Free" coaching philosophy, and how he's building the Sirens for the future. We also dive deep into the recruiting process, what coaches are really looking for beyond the ice, the role parents should play, and what makes the Fargo Camp college recruiting experience unique.

Champs360 is the all-in-one recruiting and development copilot for players, parents, and coaches. It gives families the clarity and tools to navigate the recruiting process with less stress and more confidence.

At its core, Champs360 brings everything together in one organized system. The College Search tool lets families filter and explore every school by size, location, admission scores and tuition. My Shortlist makes it easy to save and track the programs you care about, and for every school on your shortlist, the Team Dashboard delivers deep program intelligence: rosters, coaching staff, recruiting data, upcoming events, and school-specific articles and videos, all in one place.

Communication is central to recruiting, and Champs360 makes it faster and more professional. The Messaging Center, completely redesigned for this release, lets players email coaches directly, receive replies, schedule messages, send to multiple recipients, and save drafts, all from one organized dashboard. Every Champs App user also gets a free professional recruiting email address through ChampsMail, choosing between @champs.email or @champsmail.com. Coach replies forward automatically to the player's personal inbox, or a parent's inbox. With Champs360, players can also send emails to coaches directly through their ChampsMail address. Champs360 also makes it easier for families to work together. Players can share access with up to two parents, with full control over what each parent can see and do across six areas of the platform.

ChampsGPT, Champs App's AI recruiting assistant trained on five-plus years of expert content, received a major update alongside this release, providing smarter, more personalized guidance throughout the recruiting journey.
