Have you ever wondered what analytics are useful vs which are relevant? In this episode we take a look at how context makes all the difference when you're talking about understanding nuances of tracking stats and putting them to good use. Mike has a great take on this approach, and a lot of experience to draw from in his time doing analytical reporting for TSN & The NHL Network. He also talks about his newest role working at Sportlogiq and what he has learned there that is helping him tell new stories at "The Point". Great episode to learn more about stats & hockey analytics! 📊📈

What's the ROI of an upside down 🥅? It doesn't really matter, but you should tune into the Ultimate Hockey Fan Cave to see why that is relevant to them! Really enjoyed this chat with Jordie from over at the Cave. They really have a unique thing going on there, and it's very engaging and very much about promoting fanship around hockey. What is very apparent from the first moment you see their content is that their personalities stand out; they are just some nice people who love hockey and like to talk about it!🚨 In our world of player development, you might be wondering why this is relevant. Well, there are a few ways, which we discuss on the show, but mostly it's about getting more people to love hockey! In our opinion, things like the Cave need to exist going forward in the new age of technology, helping more people to love hockey, to help make our jobs easier eventually when they want to translate that "love of the game" into full-on development! 💥Have a listen! 🎧

THIS EPISODE IS STRAIGHT FIRE 🔥. You really want to grab a notepad and take some notes from our inaugural professorship with one of my oldest friends! Who just happens to know a thing or several in the area of neuroscience. And more specifically, performing under pressure. Listen guys, if I’ve ever brought you some value, this episode trumps that. Not only do we tackle some pretty cool stuff, but we also translate it to practical actions, and we go deep on a few personal issues that I think might resonate with you. Either way, Dr. P is well spoken and has a lot of knowledge to share, so please please have a listen, it’s one of my own personal favourites to date! Enjoy! 💥

On this episode we take a look into what makes an off season program work, and how it can be applied. You must work smart and hard in this time and realize that although rest is a weapon, work is a must as well. Enjoying the process and understanding how powerful this time can be as you recharge are both essential elements to a great off season. Periodization in terms of strength and conditioning are very important features of our off season lifestyle, planning the work and working the plan.

In the age of parity in hockey, there are so few things left that are relatively untapped to use as a differentiator. Enter: intuition. Having Sport Specific IQ is just another way of saying you are coachable. You can be put in any scenario and have a firm grasp of what to do. Having that knowledge helps you make decisions quicker because you know what your opponent is thinking before they even think it! That’s great intuition. That’s also a great advantage! Hope you like this episode, it’s something I’m super passionate about, because it’s the thing that has allowed me to play professionally for as long as I have. The great differentiator!
