Josh Ho-Sang has played for every iteration of professional hockey you can think of: the ECHL, SHL, KHL, OHL, AHL, Team Canada in the Olympics, and of course, the big one, the NHL. He most recently won the 2024 Kelly Cup in the ECHL with the Florida Everblades, leading all other players in the playoffs in helpers with 17 assists. In his limited off-time, Josh also developed an app called PickUpPro, PUP for short, that helps athletes connect, as well as releasing his debut album, titled SAME, which can be found on all music platforms (00:23:48).

KC is a mental performance coach who believes that training your brain is just as important as training your body for success (and for the record, we agree!) She discusses the importance of visualizing not just your future goals and accomplishments, but also the obstacles you might have to overcome on the journey there, as well as what makes for an “elite mindset”. KC’s energy is infectious, and her attitude in the face of adversity is truly inspirational.

Laurent "Lou" Correa has lived many lives. He was born in Versailles and grew up playing basketball, a sport that would lead him first to the United States and then onto playing as a professional. Back in France and sidelined by injury, Lou entered the US green card lottery and, amazingly, won. We discuss his decision to transfer from basketball to owning his own bakery and perfecting the craft of baking, as well as confirming once and for all that learning French on Duolingo is useless because Jessie still can’t pronounce “croissant” correctly.

Scott Edwards’ primary passion at this point in his life are his wife, dogs, and his three kids (one of whom happens to be one of the co-hosts of this very podcast), but today he joins us to discuss how his love for ice hockey was translated into becoming a professional referee. He tells us about his time growing up on the east coast with a gaggle of siblings, tries not to brag too much about his awesome kids, and recalls some of the most memorable, rowdy chants and crowds he’s had the pleasure of officiating through.

Chelsey Goldberg is the very first guest to join us in person for an awesome conversation. She is a professional women’s ice hockey player who currently plays for team Adidas in the PWHPA. She talks us through her move from California to the east coast and back again, the many injuries she overcame throughout her years of playing, and all the ways in which she is helping to grow the game of women’s ice hockey (including spearheading the inclusion of the sport in the 2022 Maccabi Games aka the Jewish Olympics) [28:14]. Brooke, Kyle, and Jessie also give some updates on all the things they’ve been up to over this extended hiatus.

Lola Mormino is a personal trainer, nutritionist, and owner of Lola's House Gym/Physical Fitness Center in Westlake. She takes us through her harrowing journey in life battling against a multitude of health issues that literally started the day she was born and how she's been able to overcome it all by way of her passions, to now owning her own business at just 20 years old. Lola also touches on hockey and rediscovering fun as being things that have helped her through the tough times in her young life. This one is pretty emotional but extremely inspirational, so get the tissues ready.
