  • More than hockey

    I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast. Every interview has something in it that will get you thinking. I listen while I’m cooking or cleaning and with kids around there’s not too many swear words. If your kids are in hockey this is the reminder that the journey is the destination! Thank you and keep it coming.

  • A must for hockey historians

    I randomly found out about this podcast after a brief but pleasant interaction with Jason on social media. I’m glad that happened because this podcast is right up my alley! Great conversations, great guests, tons of candid insight on the journey of a professional hockey player. And I love the 90s emphasis, as it really brings me back to the time when I got into the great game as a kid. Thanks for everything you do, Jason!
