Some of the biggest opportunities come out of shared visions.  

Anthony is a hockey player, a future lawyer, an advocate, and an author.  As Anthony explains, he used his experiences, both positive and negative, to educate younger hockey players about the difficulties growing up different in the hockey world of Minnesota.  Anthony's book "Hockey is for Everybody" led him to host a "Hockey is For Everybody" Camp this summer at St. Cloud State University, that The Dented Puck is proud bring the Windy City Showdown to for a weekend full of hockey, workouts, hockey sense training, and team building.

Help us welcome Anthony into the blind hockey community and you'll understand why he is the perfect partner to help grow our sport!

The guys were lucky enough to sit down with Kelsey McGuire, who in the past year has really grown her network within the Philadelphia Flyers organization and the Philly community.  Kelsey talks about her love for hockey growing up and how she fell in love with teaching the visually impaired in college.

(Update for Spotify users:  We apologize, the first two episodes did not populate on Spotify due to a video conversion error.)

What an amazing way to kick off both a new season and a new year!  Antti has such an amazing background in blind sports, and is a many time Paralympian.  But, if you know hockey, you know Finland is always a world power.  Antti explains his interest in hockey and his experiences visiting Canada and growing the sport in his country.  We all learned an awesome new way to say one of our favorite phrases!

As Luca explains, one of the best parts of the Fort Wayne weekend was the USA vs. Canada dinner.  Luca grabbed Josh and told him how much he liked the podcast, and of course Josh pulled the trigger.   What he doesn't know is how excited WE were to be able to interview someone who has been so influential in growing the sport.

As expected, we had an amazing conversation about the past, present, and future of blind hockey both in North America and internationally.  Luca has a great voice and perspective, and it shows the true professionalism of our friends up north.

Just in time for Gateway Dawg Bowl, the guys catch up with Jared and Jonny O of the St. Louis chapter of Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation.  Jared previews their inaugural Gateway Dawg Bowl October 8-9, and talks about his experience putting on the "blind goggles."  Jonny perfectly explains his feeling of family when the hockey community came\ together to support him.  Take a listen as a preview before our Dented Pucks hockey team heads to beat Jared and his Dawgs in the blind showcase game.

You literally asked for it.  Thank TJ.  But, we actually gave Josh more than six minutes to speak.  We learned exactly how blind Dirk is, and how organic some moments are.   Josh takes us back to his beginnings in hockey as well as Drew and Josh discuss future happenings at The Dented Puck Foundation, as well as the Dented Pucks Hockey Team.
