Episode 3: Winning and Developing
Do players develop through winning? Does the result even matter when it comes to a teenage player's growth? It's a great debate that we visit in Episode 3 of Season 2 of the Hockey Factories podcast, with opinions from coaches in Switzerland and Sweden.
We'll talk about the program's investment in the player and the age old cliche of "trusting the process," even when your results don't reveal themselves for years.
Episode 4: Bonds Beyond Hockey
It's said in nearly every locker room that any team has a bond for life. We examine the bonds players and current staff at Notre Dame created in their time there.
We talk about intangibles in a player and in a coaching staff that can make a massive impact on a program and five traits that a player can possess that will separate them from the pack.
