Sharpening Your Edge

Are you caught in the "frenzy" of youth hockey? Lindsay Tilley joins us to debunk the biggest misconceptions about skating development—including why there are no "one-lesson fixes". Lindsay shares her empathetic approach to coaching as a "hockey mom" and how she uses PE teacher tactics(like balloons and hula hoops!) to keep the game fun and reduce burnout.

Lindsay Tilley is the founder and owner of Hockey Edge Agility Training (HEAT), an all-female staff training company in the Tri-State area. She just recently started a new company, Power3 Skating Systems, with two other renowned hockey skating coaches. She is currently on the Player Development Staff with the Philadelphia Flyers Organization as their skating specialist and works with youth and junior organizations locally. She is a triple USFS Gold medalist in figure skating and has been developing hockey players for over 10 years. She got her professional coaching start in the NWHL/PHF with the Metropolitan Riveters, which later led to working occasionally with the PWHL New York Sirens. She is a member of the NHLCA Female Coaches Development Program and was named one of the top 10 skill instructors by The Coaches Site in 2023. She has also worked with Hockey Without Borders, spent some time overseas working with grassroots programs in Sarajevo, Bosnia, and last summer served as a guest coach for the Nashville Predators Development Camp before signing on with the Philadelphia Flyers this season. She is a mom of two teenage boys and enjoys spending time on the sidelines in her spare time.

How do you go from starting a local 12U team to scouting for the PWHL? In this episode, we sit down with Kathy Pippy, a pioneer who helped build the Pens Elite Girls Program and founded Premier Ice Prospects (PIP). Kathy shares her "lead by example" philosophy and explains why building a lasting legacy for girls is more important than simple wins and losses.

Kathy Pippy brings an unparalleled level of experience to the girls' game. Over 18 years ago, she started the girls' hockey program, which has evolved into Pittsburgh Penguins Elite Girls, who have won two USA Hockey National Championships. In 2010, Kathy took her efforts full-time to Selects Hockey. Under the Legacy Global Sports platform, she created some of the most elite experience and exposure opportunities for North American female hockey players, in locations such as France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Toronto, Nashville, Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Rochester.

For exposure events, Kathy brings together elite-level talent and relationships with top NCAA coaches, creating the most high-level "quality over quantity" competitive opportunities for players. Some of the experiences created include the World Selects Invitational, Hockey Hall of Fame Future Legends, Mrs. Hockey Invite, and the Music City Showcase. Over the years, hundreds of NCAA D1 & D3 players from across North America and even Europe played in the Selects program. On average, 25 girls who play on Team USA & Hockey Canada combined U18 National teams have played in Selects Hockey.

In 2020, Kathy brought her passion for promoting and growing the girls' game to Premier Ice Prospects, where she continues the sought-after showcase-style events and creates new experiences for the next generation of female players!

Pippy is an experienced scout in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), bringing three seasons of expertise at the highest level of the women’s game. She began her PWHL career with Ottawa, where she spent two seasons contributing to the organization’s scouting efforts, including playing a key role in the 2024 draft class that featured 2025 Playoff MVP, Gwyneth Philips.

Following the announcement of league expansion, Pippy joined PWHL Vancouver as Head Scout. In this role, she led scouting efforts for both the expansion draft and the 2025 PWHL Draft, helping build the foundation of the Goldeneyes’ inaugural roster.

“We’re all standing at crossroads.” The question is—what path will you choose? In this episode, Kaleb Dahlgren reflects on loss, recovery, and the mindset that helped him rebuild his life. His message is simple and powerful: you can’t always control what happens—but you can control how you respond.

#1 Bestselling Author, Crossroads | Inspiring Community Leader | Health & Mental Wellness Advocate

Dr. Kaleb Dahlgren is a widely recognized expert on resilience, leadership, and health. A former elite hockey player and survivor of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy with severe injuries, he has transformed adversity into purpose, inspiring individuals and organizations worldwide. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age four, Kaleb refused to let it define him, fueling a successful hockey career and a lifelong commitment to advocacy. As the founder of Dahlgren’s Diabeauties, he empowers young athletes with type 1 diabetes while serving as a National Ambassador for two diabetes non-profits.

His impact extends beyond the diabetes community—his insights on resilience, mindset, and health have reached millions through global media, including CNN, BBC, CBC, New York Times, TSN, Maclean’s, and The Players’ Tribune. Kaleb’s memoir, Crossroads, became a #1 National Bestseller, earning praise from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as a book that “will change your life for the better.” As an International Keynote Speaker, he has worked with industry leaders such as Google, Rogers, TD, Nestle, the NHL, and the Government of Canada, using his powerful story to inspire transformation.

Earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in June of 2025, Kaleb is completing his residency specializing in sports with a focus on nutrition, neurology, and concussion management to help elevate and optimize high-performing individuals. His journey is a testament to grit, passion, and purpose, which most recently earned him the prestigious King Charles III’s Coronation Medal (2025). Whether mentoring, speaking, in the community, or providing care, he continues to drive positive change in the lives of others.

Takeaways:

• Dr. Caleb Dahlgren's experience as a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy emphasizes the importance of resilience and community support in overcoming adversity.
• The concept of 'Crossroads' not only reflects the literal event of the crash but also symbolizes the numerous pivotal moments in life that shape our paths and choices.
• Dahlgren advocates for the intrinsic value of kindness and compassion in our interactions, highlighting that the impact we leave on others is what truly defines our legacy.
• The podcast illustrates that personal struggles, such as dealing with type 1 diabetes or recovering from trauma, can be transformed into opportunities for growth and advocacy for others facing similar challenges.
• A key takeaway is the idea of continuous self-improvement, encapsulated in the principle of becoming 1% better each day, which reinforces the notion that small, consistent efforts lead to significant progress over time.
• Dahlgren's philosophy suggests that mental fortitude and a positive mindset are essential for success, particularly in the face of life's inevitable challenges and setbacks.

From outdoor rinks in Ontario to leading one of the fastest-growing professional leagues in sports, Greg Fargo breaks down what truly matters in player development. This episode explores recruiting myths, competitive mindset, and why identity matters more than chasing “shiny objects.”

In addition, Greg shares behind-the-scenes insight into the explosive growth of the PWHL, fan engagement, expansion, and why visibility is changing the future for young female athletes. From packed arenas to grassroots impact, this episode captures a historic moment in the game.

Whether you’re a youth athlete, college hopeful, or hockey parent navigating today’s recruiting landscape, this conversation delivers clarity and actionable insight.

Greg Fargo is one of the most respected leaders in women’s hockey, bringing nearly two decades of coaching and player-development experience at the collegiate, international, and professional levels. A native of Kingston, Ontario, Fargo is currently the Head Coach of the New York Sirens in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) and is the winningest coach in Colgate University women’s hockey history. Known for blending high standards with genuine care for his athletes, Fargo has built a reputation for developing both elite performance and strong character in the players he leads.

Before stepping behind the bench, Fargo was a standout goaltender at Elmira College, where he set program records in saves and minutes played while earning ECAC West Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors. He later returned to Elmira as head coach, guiding the women’s program to an 85–23–5 record and multiple conference championships. His success continued at Colgate from 2012 to 2024, where he transformed the Raiders into a national powerhouse with four straight ECAC championships, five NCAA tournament appearances, two Frozen Fours, and a national championship game berth. In 2018, his efforts were recognized nationally when he was named the AHCA Coach of the Year.

Beyond team success, Fargo is deeply committed to growing the game and mentoring the next generation.

The primary focus of this podcast episode is our enlightening conversation with Anthony Morando, a distinguished strength and conditioning coach renowned for his expertise in training elite athletes, particularly within the realms of hockey and collegiate sports. Throughout our dialogue, we delve into the intricacies of athletic preparation, emphasizing the significance of tailored strength and conditioning programs that cater specifically to the unique demands of hockey players. Morando elucidates the pivotal role of consistent training and the importance of developing a holistic understanding of fitness, which transcends mere physical strength to encompass overall health and well-being. We also explore common misconceptions surrounding youth training, providing valuable insights for parents and coaches alike. Ultimately, this episode serves as a profound exploration of the methodologies that underpin successful athletic development, underscoring the necessity for dedication and a strategic approach to training.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by slow progress or wondered if your effort is going unnoticed, this conversation will remind you why consistency still wins. The work matters — even when it’s quiet

Anthony Morando is a strength and conditioning coach and performance professional with deep experience developing high-level athletes across hockey and collegiate sports. Before moving to Grand Forks as an EXOS Performance Manager, he served as the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Boston University, supporting the men’s hockey and women’s golf programs from 2011–2015.

He holds multiple industry certifications, including CSCS and CSCCa, along with RPR (Reflexive Performance Reset), FMS Level 1, TRX Level 1, EXOS Performance Specialist (XPS), and CPR/AED/First Aid. Anthony and his wife, Monique, live in Grand Forks, North Dakota, with their four children—Mickey, Sonny, Ralphe and Edi—and he lives by the principle: “Chance favors the prepared.”

Behind every visible success are thousands of invisible reps. This episode pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous work that creates meaningful results — the practice sessions, the repetition, and the patience required to improve when no one is applauding.

2. Recognizing the unique physiological differences among athletes is essential for tailoring effective training programs.
3. An athlete's success is heavily influenced by their work ethic, accountability, and consistent effort in training.

Behind every iconic Olympic moment are thousands of quiet, unglamorous reps.

From frozen ponds in North Dakota to the Olympic podium, Monique shares a masterclass in athlete development. This episode dives into youth sports culture, multi-sport benefits, confidence under pressure, and why “betting on yourself” only works if you’ve done the work first. A must-listen for parents, coaches, and athletes who care about long-term growth—not shortcuts.

Monique Lamoureux-Morando is a retired American ice hockey standout best known for her clutch play on the international stage with Team USA. Raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, in a family steeped in hockey, she developed alongside her twin sister, Jocelyne, and went on to become one of the most productive and versatile players of her era—capable of impacting games as both a forward and a defender. Her rise accelerated at Shattuck–St. Mary’s in Minnesota, where she helped lead powerhouse teams to multiple national titles while posting eye-popping point totals, and then continued at the NCAA level with the University of Minnesota before transferring to the University of North Dakota to play closer to home. Early in her college career, she piled up scoring accolades and quickly established a reputation for creativity, competitiveness, and a knack for delivering in big moments.

On the world stage, Lamoureux became a fixture in the USA Hockey program, earning Olympic silver medals in 2010 and 2014 before reaching the pinnacle at the 2018 Winter Olympics—where she scored the dramatic game-tying goal in the gold-medal game, setting the stage for Team USA’s eventual victory in a shootout. She also contributed to U.S. success at top international events across multiple seasons, and she played professionally as well, including time with the Boston Blades in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. After later competing with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association—an organization advocating for a more equitable professional landscape—she retired from playing in 2021. Off the ice, she and her sister have continued to shape the sport and their community through their memoir Dare to Make History and the Lamoureux Foundation, which supports educational and extracurricular opportunities for kids in need, particularly in North Dakota. In addition to being a wife, and mother to three wonderful kids, she is also a realtor with The Elm Group in East Grand Forks.
