Hockey is a vehicle - for education, leadership, and life.
In this episode of the Built From Steel Podcast, Eric is joined by Ryan Vesce, Co-Founder and CEO of Matterhorn Fit, in a special two-part release. The first half features a brand-new conversation recorded at the 2025 Matterhorn Fit All-Ivy Showcase, followed by a re-release of their original interview from over a year ago that first introduced the Matterhorn Fit philosophy, the All-Ivy event, and the now-rolling All-Path Series launching in 2026.
Ryan brings a unique perspective as a retired 14-year pro, Ivy League graduate (Cornell), and now visionary behind one of the most player-focused development ecosystems in North America. Together, he and Eric dig into what’s changing in hockey between the CHL and NCAA, the implications for young players and families, and how collaboration, mindset, and long-term thinking will define who actually moves forward.
Whether you're a player trying to navigate your next step, a parent weighing your options, or a coach looking at the bigger picture, this one is essential listening.
