Pete Samargia is BACK for his second appearance on the podcast! Since last year, Pete has become the goalie coach for the Minnesota Frost in the PWHL. We talk about that experience so far and also comparing the timing of goalie's skill development compared to skaters through the youth hockey journey.

We welcome back Ben Monahan to the podcast this week! Ben works at The Base Sports Performance in New Hope, MN, has experience coaching youth and high school hockey, and also works as an advisor for hockey players around the Twin Cities metro. We discuss how to handle being the first ones cut from a top team as a first year, whether or not to play HS hockey as a freshman, and when and how parent complaints should be brought to coaches and administrators. Hope you enjoy this unscripted episode!

After our holiday break, we are lucky to be joined by Aaron Wilbur, the founder of The Coaches Site. The Coaches Site has revolutionized how coaches at all levels connect, learn, and grow. Aaron shares his journey from coaching in the BCHL, to starting a coaching conference that eventually led to the creation of The Coaches Site. This is an awesome episode for any coaches looking for resources on how to improve in their craft.
