There are few women in hockey as decorated as Cammi Granato. From becoming one of the first women to be inducted into the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame, the USA Hockey Hall of Fame, and the Hockey Hall of Fame, to Gold medals and numerous awards with USA Hockey, she's done it all. You can now add the first female Pro Scout in NHL history to her never-ending list of accomplishments. Needless to say, she is truly a legend in women's hockey and sports in general. Granato joins the GAO Podcast this week to discuss her new position with the incoming NHL franchise in Seattle and her historic career with USA Hockey.

We're back for our third season! It's only right that we kick things off with a familiar face to the Glass and Out Podcast: Former GAO Co-Host and The Coaches Site Editor in Chief, Kelvin Cech! Kelvin has moved on to become the Head Coach of the Winkler Flyers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. As a first time bench boss in hockey-mad, small town Manitoba, he's been experiencing many firsts: First training camp, first time making a recruiting call, first time trading a player, etc. How has he been adjusting? Find out in the season's first episode of the Glass & Out Podcast!

It's not every day you get a front row seat to learn about the inner workings of hockey's best team.* *Well, best regular season team. The Tampa Lightning had a season for the ages and looked ready to go on a deep run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where only the cup itself would represent true success. But that run was derailed early by a feisty Columbus Blue Jackets squad that wasn't paying attention to the standings in the regular season. What went wrong? And how do the Lightning improve for next year? Find out from Lightning Assistant Coach Derek Lalonde in the season's final episode of Glass & Out.

Friend of the Coaches Site and current Winnipeg Jets Associate Coach Jamie Kompon dropped by the Glass & Out podcast to talk defensemen development, his time working in the national hockey league, and the mind-boggling achievement of winning three Stanley Cups behind the bench. Enjoy!

The rise of American skill in the professional hockey ranks is no accident. The fuel for that offensive fire starts long before those players hit the NHL, too. It starts at the grassroots level. The stickhandling you see from Patrick Kane, the creativity you're going to see from this year's probable first overall pick Jack Hughes, not to mention his older brother Quinn - it's all the product of development at the youth hockey level. Enter Kenny Rausch, Director of Youth Hockey for USA Hockey. Kenny jumped on the podcast today to talk about cross ice hockey, small area games, and his emphasis on skill and fun. And why it's working. Enjoy!
