  • Great podcast

    Love this podcast! Devyn is so approachable and interesting as an interviewer. I am a pilot wife, not a hockey wife, but there are enough parallels that I find it all enjoyable and relatable

  • Feels like coffee with friends

    Feels like I’m having coffee with friends, except they get it. Not everyone does and that’s okay. But these ladies do. As a coach’s partner, I appreciate their insight, perspective and willingness to share their experiences. We all need community and support. If you’re living in the world of hockey, this is an excellent source of comfort. Love to listen while walking and it literally feels like I’m having a coffee and strolling with friends.
