On Episode 4 of The Voice & The Coach, Dan and Mark are joined by MJHL coaching legend Ken Pearson (6:24). Pearson has over 500 career coaching victories in junior hockey, and his coaching career has now spanned over 25 seasons. During this conversation, Ken Pearson talks about adapting with the times and how he's been able to make a living coaching for as long as he has. Who were some of his early influences? Why did he decide to take over a team in the Battlefords (2008) who were coming off a five-win season? What kind of toll does changing cities and leagues have on a young family? All of that and much more is discussed in this Episode 4 conversation.

In this introductory episode of The Voice & The Coach, Dan and Mark explain how they met back in January, 2013. From there, the two dive in to Mark's first 14 months behind the bench of the WHL's Prince George Cougars (January 2013 through March 2014). Notable topics of conversation include: Todd Fiddler's historic 50-goal season, a crazy three-game sequence for NHL prospect Zach Pochiro, a looming ownership change and what happens when a player misses the bus prior to an 18-hour trip to the Prairies. 

On Episode 2 of The Voice & The Coach, Dan and Mark chat with two-time NHL Stanley Cup champion Scott Gomez. Mark Holick and Scott Gomez have a history that spans over 20 years and during this highly entertaining conversation, Scott touches on a number of key events that helped shape his NHL career that lasted over 1000 games. Learn more about his interactions with Larry Robinson, Pat Burns, Lou Lamoriello and hear stories from his time with the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens. Scott Gomez holds the distinction of being the first Alaskan-born NHL player, and it's very clear from this conversation that he takes an enormous amount of pride in that fact. This is a conversation that any hockey fan won't want to miss.
