What happens when success, leadership, and discipline still leave you searching for something more? In this episode of Scripture Untangled, former NHL captain and Stanley Cup champion Ryan Walter shares his remarkable journey with veteran journalist Lorna Dueck. Ryan shares the powerful story of how fear on a flight led him to open the Bible and encounter Jesus in a life-changing way. In this episode, Ryan and Lorna discuss: Ryan's early life, shaped by strong values and disciplined practice and how it prepared him not just for a career in the NHL, but for a life of leadership and character. How resilience and deepened dependence on God developed through adversity, especially after a devastating knee injury that happened early on in his life. How daily time with Scripture transformed his life and marriage, offering a glimpse into the steady, lifelong discipline that continues to shape his faith today. A call for the Church: to return to the core of the Gospel by loving God deeply, loving others, and extending grace in every relationship. Read the transcript:  https://biblesociety.ca/transcript-scripture-untangled-s13-ep9  =====Ryan Walter played more than 1000 games over 15 seasons in the National Hockey League. Drafted second overall by the Washington Capitals, Ryan was named the youngest NHL captain in his second of 4 seasons, played 9 seasons and won a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens, and returned to his hometown to play his last 2 seasons for the Vancouver Canucks.

He is the author of 6 books and an expert contributor to magazines, newspapers, radio, and television. Ryan serves as a Director of the Spartan Foundation, and is a member of the Seton Hall University Buccino Leadership Institute Advisory Council, and is the recipient of the TEC Canada Speaker of the Year Award for 2015 and 2024.  Ryan won a Gold Medal as Head Coach of Canada's National Women's Hockey Team, was Assistant Coach of the Vancouver Canucks, co-founder, and president of two start-up companies, a TV and radio hockey analyst, a hockey adviser and actor for both television and movies, the creator of a board game, and the President of a professional hockey team.

Rabbit was recently inducted into the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame. A proud member of the Kainai First Nation, also known as the Blood Tribe, located in Southern Alberta, he has been intentional in providing kids from Indigenous communities inspiration by using the game of hockey to teach life skills that will empower them away from the rink. After a playing career that saw him capture the 2006 Memorial Cup with the Giants and a pro career that spanned 14 seasons and multiple continents, Rabbit started his coaching journey as an assistant coach with the BCHL's Alberni Valley Bulldogs. That would be followed by a move back to his former junior team, the Saskatoon Blades, for three years, and finally this season a return to the Vancouver Giants. Listen as he shares how he's using his Indigenous roots and sobriety to inspire the next generation, leadership lessons from growing up in a rodeo family, and what it takes to develop grit in a player's game.

Coming Down the Pipe... [0:00] - The intro for Season 21 of The Pipeline Show [1:14] - Guy has the headlines, News from the CHL, Friday night WHL results and updates from NCAA conference playoffs too. [15:40] - Edmonton Oil Kings keeper Parker Snell has an impressive resumé and now as a WHL rookie, he's twice been named the league's Goaltender of the Week. He's coming off of back-to-back shutouts from this past weekend - just one of the things we got to talk about during our 2026 Draft Spotlight conversation. [48:31] - Arguably the #1 ranked center from the Class of 2026, Brantford Bulldogs forward Caleb Malhotra is having a terrific season with one of the top teams in the entire CHL.

In episode 327 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome back Head Coach of the Wheeling Nailers, Ryan Papaioannou. With The Coaches Site and Glass and Out, one of the cool aspects is we get to touch base with coaches during the various chapters of their journey as they climb their way up the coaching ladder.  We first connected with Papaioannou during his time with the AJHL's Brooks Bandits. Under his leadership the Bandits captured seven AJHL Championships, one BCHL Championship (the Bandits joined the BCHL in advance of last season), and four National Championships at the Jr A level in Canada. At the beginning of this season Papaioannou was hired by the Pittsburgh Penguins organization to coach their ECHL affiliate in Wheeling. Currently, the Nailers are tied for 5th overall in the ECHL standings.  More than anything, Ryan's successful transition from tier 2 hockey to the professional ranks is a signal that leadership and the ability to develop a winning culture matters more than what level you've coached at.  Listen as he shares why being adaptable is crucial in the ECHL, the importance of deception in elite players, and why winning breeds development.

In episode 326 of the Glass and Out Podcast we sit down with the President, General Manager, and Head Coach of the WHL's Penticton Vees, Fred Harbinson. Now in his 19th year with the team, Harbinson has the Vees on track for a historic season as the Western Hockey League's newest franchise in its first season after departing the BCHL. In late January of 2026, Penticton sat 2nd in the Western Conference, were riding an 11 game win streak, and recently cracked the CHL's top 10 ranking, landing at number 9. With 26 games left to play in the regular season, the Vees are only 10 wins away from breaking the win record for an expansion team, set by the Everett Silvertips in 2014. With Penticton, Harbinson built one of the most storied franchises at the Jr A level in Canada, leading the Vees to multiple championships, including six Fred Page Cup titles, a Western Canada Cup, a Doyle Cup, and an RBC Cup National Championship. He has recorded over 700 career wins in the BCHL and has been honored multiple times with the Joe Tennant Memorial Trophy as BCHL Coach of the Year. He also holds the distinction of the most playoff series victories in league history. Listen as he shares the championship mentality that has resulted in expansion success, putting an emphasis on the defensive side of the game, and why selling development is about providing your players with a layer of tools.

[35:02] - Not that long ago, the Alberta Junior Hockey League let it be known that Cold Lake, AB was a potential candidate for a new franchise in the league.
