I love seeing everyone do well, and be happy so it makes me SO happy that my dear dear friend, Jamie Free, is also my audience's favorite guest in all of Muther Puckers history.  Is it the amazing nutritional advice- or the story about Jamie's youth that haunts him every day that drew you to hear this episode? 
All I can say is that Jamie Free is one of the best humans out there and it's obvious every one of you recognize that as well!

I'll be back next week with brand new episodes and we talk Transfer Portal and more!

You know the Mama Bear that is: Amy Jones!  Mom to 3 adult boys and 2 of them are playing in the NHL and on the same team! 
When we recorded this Seth was playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets and Caleb was playing for the Oilers.  Now they are both in Chicago hoping this off season trade mania is going to bring some playoff hockey caliber hockey this season for the Blackhawks. 
This was our first time sitting down to chat and you will LOVE learning about all the things she shares.  Building strong men, bonding with your adult children, saying what you believe.  Amy is one of my favorites and I'm so glad that you get the chance to listen in.
Email/DM me for which episode you think is #1 and you could win a chance at a free Muther Puckers T Shirt!

Jeff Lovecchio and Topher Scott still have The Hockey Think Tank going and they've both gone through amazing changes over the last three years since I've interviewed them separately.  (Topher's Episode 12 can be listened to also!)
Jeff is getting married!  He may even already be married once this drops- CONGRATULATIONS!
Topher was at U of Michigan this last season  as Director of Hockey Operations and participated in that Big 10 Championship and Frozen Four run while seeing @Adam Fantilli get the Hobey Baker AND drafted! He is heading back to Chicago to continue promoting positivity in Hockey!

Big Thanks to Jeff and Topher for the support for Muther Puckers, Positive Hockey and being just great people!
