  • Life After Hockey: What the Game Taught Us

    In this episode of The Underdog Podcast, we sit down and open up about a chapter that’s come to a close—our hockey careers. From youth leagues to college rinks, we reflect on the lessons the game taught us that go far beyond the ice.

    We talk about:

    • What it feels like when the game that shaped your identity suddenly ends
    • The mindset shift that comes when your routine, teammates, and purpose change
    • The habits hockey gave us that now drive our lives and businesses
    • Why being an underdog didn’t end—it just evolved

    Whether you're an athlete in transition or just someone navigating the end of a big chapter, this one’s for you.
