Good friend of the pod Rob LaLonde was back in town and we got together to talk about how things are going with his company, Buttendz, as more and more NHL pros can be seen using Buttendz's awesome grips. We also discussed Rob's trip to the 2018 Winter Games and the work he's been doing with growing hockey programs in Korea, Japan, China and other growing hockey communities in Asia. Other topics include the Minnesota State Hockey Tournament, the Let's Play Hockey Expo and how influencer marketing is so effective in a sport like hockey.
