While The Coaches Site team was down in Florida for the AHCA Convention, there was no shortage of interesting people to talk shop with. One of those people was Mike Donaghue, a strength and conditioning coach by trade, and a master organizer and details implementer by necessity. Listen to this week’s podcast to learn why […]
The first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs are what dreams are made of. Literally. Hockey has entered my dreams – the first round is so fast, so exciting, that my subconscious mind can’t let go once I hit the sheets. For Dave Tomlinson, self-described morning show radio guy for TSN here in Vancouver, it’s […]
I’m not going to waste too much time with my own words today, because what I have to say isn’t nearly as important as what Willie O’Ree, the first black player to lace up the skate in the NHL for the Boston Bruins, does. Willie dropped by the studio to chat with Aaron on the […]
The Belleville Senators of the American Hockey League are incredibly fortunate to have one of the game’s brightest teachers, educators, and listeners on their staff in Paul Boutilier. Paul’s been around the block, both as a player in the NHL and worlds beyond, and also as a coach, spending over 20 years at the Canadian […]
Today on the Glass and Out Podcast we’re talking shop with Sven Butenschon, head coach of the men’s hockey team with the UBC Thunderbirds. Which also makes him Kelvin’s boss, sort of.

It’s always helpful for a hockey coach to chat about the coaching that’s being done off the ice.

Mark is involved in every aspect of keeping the Anaheim Ducks healthy, […]
“What’s your spirit animal?” That was a question Dr. Saul Miller asked a team of midget hockey players of which I was the coach a few years back, and the responses were fantastic. Tiger. Eagle. Shark. Then Ethan Cap said Gorilla and the entire room exploded. Ethan plays for the Edmonton Oil Kings now and […]
“You get the culture you create, and it doesn’t matter what league you’re in.” It’s safe to say Dallas Ferguson has a knack for coaching. It’s the only reason you could find to explain why, upon finishing his playing career, he was immediately asked to run a bench for a junior hockey team in Alaska. […]
“Blake Wheeler played in the Allstar game last night in Tampa Bay. Most guys would have taken today off, but not him. He was the first one on the ice, and he absolutely drive practice. That’s what kind of person Blake Wheeler is.” That’s Winnipeg Jets coach Todd Woodcroft on their captain, the heart and […]
What’s the most exciting part of hockey? Is it big hits? Well, the physical part of the game isn’t as important as it used to be. Key defensive stands on the penalty kill? That’s only exciting because of what’s happening on the other side of the puck. Offside reviews that wipe out completely untainted goals? […]
