Today’s guest is Brandon Skubel (#11), a second-year at McGill, studying Industrial Relations. 

Born in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON., Skubel joined the Redbirds in 2020 after playing three seasons for the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the QMJHL, where he registered 41 goals and 74 assists in 178 games. 

The six-foot, 205-pound power forward has scored 4 goals and 1 assist through 9 games this season. Skubel was also recently named McGill's athlete of the week on December 5th after his hat-trick performance in the Corey Cup victory over the Concordia Stingers. 

Off the ice, Brandon exuberates an entrepreneurial spirit and is an avid learner. As if balancing hockey and his course-load wasn't enough, Brandon also can be found trying to grow his business as the owner/operator of Student Works Painting in the Niagara region. 

In this episode, we discuss his incredible work ethic, intriguing hockey career path, and so much more!
