The Ride to The Rink - Wearing the Logo with Pride


Listen Later

What does it take to become a great hockey player—and a great teammate? 

In this episode of The Ride to the Rink episode, Lee Elias, Christie Casciano Burns, and Mike Bonelli are joined by Matt Dumouchelle, author of the Hockey Factories series. Matt has traveled the world studying elite hockey programs, and he shares invaluable lessons for youth players about the importance of having fun, being a good teammate, and embracing the journey of the game.

From celebrating the little moments on the ice to the lasting impact of team pride, Matt offers advice for players on focusing less on pressure and more on gratitude and enjoyment. Parents and young skaters alike will gain insights into how the best programs cultivate passion and community—and how individual players can build on those lessons at any level.

Plus, hear why a good attitude and team-first mentality often outweigh raw talent when coaches make their decisions, and learn how finding joy in hockey today will create lasting memories tomorrow.
