The Halifax Thunderbirds have been a team on the cusp of a championship since 2020. They’re right there, and the guy driving the bus is Mike Accursi.
A four time NLL champion as a player, he’s been there. He knows what it takes.
Now it’s time to get his team to realize that, put it together, and get over the hump. We’ll hear from Mike that the best teams he’s been on had to go through that pain to come out sharper and better on the other side.
The pieces are there in Halifax. The fans are there. Now it’s time to bring it home.
They called him “No Mercy” as a player. Mike Accursi is the Head Coach of the Halifax Thunderbirds.
He has a career coaching record hovering around .600.
He played an impressive 17 seasons in the NLL. He played 237 games, and won four titles (three with Rochester from 2012-2014 and one with Buffalo in 2004).
He’s a school teacher by day, and continues the trend of NLL coaches who have careers which compliment their coaching life.
On this podcast, we discuss how playoff hardship should make his team better in the future, how building a diverse roster sets his team apart, and his spiritual pre-season hunting trips with his boss Curt Styres.
