Welcome to Season 3, Episode 6 of The Hockey Toolkit! In this episode, the Toolkit welcomes Toby O'Brien, a lifer in the game of hockey!

In an extended interview, Toby guides us through his journey in hockey from being an original member of the EJHL to scouting in the NHL and now into the EHL. He describes in great detail some of the milestones on the journey and what has made him successful. Over a decade as a scout in the NHL, Toby sheds some light some amazing stories of identifying and finding great players who've turned out to be hidden gems in the NHL. They finish with a discussion on the current state of Junior Hockey with all of its changes. It's a thought-provoking and passionate discussion! Other topics the guys discuss are:

• What prompted the EJHL and what made it successful
• Scouting Parker Ford, Linus Ullmark and Thomas Nosek
• Work in the ECHL, AHL and NHL
• and much more...
