In this exclusive live episode of the Athletes IN Sports podcast, host Max Smith sits down with Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin—right from inside the Wild penalty box. With the backdrop of the “Get IN” wall branded by Innovative Office Solutions, this conversation dives into the grit, leadership, and long-term vision behind one of the NHL’s most passionate franchises.

Bill opens up about his journey from Stanley Cup champion to front office architect, how the Wild are positioning themselves for a new era of success, and what resilience and culture truly mean in today’s game. Plus, Max challenges Bill on the age-old debate: is the real "State of Hockey" Minnesota... or Massachusetts?

This episode was made possible by Innovative Office Solutions, proud supporter of Minnesota sports and the “Get IN” mentality seen inside the Wild penalty box.
