October 14, 2025 Joe Pavelski on What It Really Takes to Make It and Last in the NHL
Live from THE PRO Rivals Open, longtime NHL star and golf shark Joe Pavelski breaks down his “old man golf” superpower (striped fairways, crisp irons, hot putter), the side bets, and a tee sheet featuring John Smoltz, Mark Mulder, and Mardy Fish.
Then it’s hockey talk: why Canadian teams haven’t broken through, whether Toronto is the toughest market, Florida’s rise, how the game’s speed has evolved, and the code around fights & respect.
Joe hits on life post-NHL (“aged out,” not retired), coaching his Madison youth team, Badgers ties, beer-league nights, and the Stanley Cup chase that got away — plus his take on the greatest American-born players (Patrick Kane, Mike Modano, Brett Hull, Auston Matthews, Chris Chelios).
