Beyond the Mask: Why You Need a Life Outside the Rink

What happens to your game when hockey is the only thing you have? 🥅

In this session, we’re talking about Loving Something Outside of the Game.

I spent years thinking that being a pro meant living and breathing hockey 24/7, but I actually found my greatest edge when I learned to step away from the crease. Whether it’s picking up a guitar, getting out on a motorcycle, or stepping into a boxing ring, you need a "Safe Haven" where you aren't just "The Goalie."

In this video: Why an "all-in" identity can actually make your performance fragile.

How my hobbies saved my sanity in Pro and Junior hockey. Giving yourself permission to have a life outside the The Grind.

Stop being a goalie who happens to be a human. Start being a human who happens to play goalie.
