- Finding the Physical and Mental Edge in Goaltending with Former Pro Paul CohenListen to this episode if you want to unlock some incredible insight into what goes on between the pipes. 🥅 Paul Cohen joins us this week to discuss the physical and mental edge that goaltenders need in order to compete in the crease. He gives valuable insight to the position as we discuss how coaches can incorporate goalies more in practice, and thoughts on our favorite debate - should the goal size be adaptive depending on age? Paul is a former AHL (Champion), ECHL & Div. 1 NCAA goaltender whom today is the head coach of the Puerto Rican Men’s National Team, and is the owner of Ultimate Hockey Fans. This month's Our Kids Play Goalie is here to “save” 🤦♂️ the day. -- Hockey friends and families, we need your help!

- A Recap Of The 1980 Miracle On Ice And The Bond That Propelled Them To VictoryThe echoes of a hockey game played 43 years ago today still reverberate. There’s a reason the U.S.A. defeating the USSR in 1980 was selected as the most significant sports moment of the 20th century. It lifted a team, a town and a nation - events like that are in short supply today. This team also thought us something that I have based my professional life on; that when a group of people believe, trust and work for each other - miracles are possible. This week we’re re-releasing a recap of the Miracle On Ice that Lee recorded back in 2019. We hope you enjoy this special episode and it inspires you to look to the 1980 team for motivation and as an example of a well-bonded team.

- How Does The Youth Hockey Lifestyle Compare To Soccer with Soccer Dad-Pod Host JB AndersonThis week we’ve decided to have do our very first cross-over episode featuring a parent (and a podcast host) that has braved the elements of another youth sport. We thought it would be a great show idea to compare and contrast our crazy sport lifestyle - to see if ours is as insane as we say - and soccer seemed like the perfect starting point. JB Anderson of the Soccer Dad Pod is just the right man for the job! In addition to being a podcast host and the Owner of Gaslight Studio’s STL, he is a State Champion in Illinois with Granite City High, winner of the Holland Cup International Tournament, a NAIA Collegiate player and has spent 15 years as a youth club coach. Most importantly he is a proud parent (like the three of us and most of you listening) of 3 kids, Keller - who is 17, Beckett who is 14 and Maxwell who is 9 - all whom play soccer competitively.
