Today we did something new – I recorded the episode LIVE inside my Facebook Group dedicated to supportive hockey parents! Members were able to listen live AND ask questions. The group is called Up My Hockey – Parent Group and you if you would like direct access to my amazing guests, please join us!Mark Ferner played junior for the Kamloops Blazers before he embarked on his 15-year professional career. Mark spent time in the AHL, IHL, DEL and also the NHL, with the Buffalo Sabres, Washington Capitals, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, and Detroit Red Wings.Upon his retirement as a player, Mark started a new career as coach for the expansion Vancouver Giants of the WHL. Coaching would take Mark back to Kamloops where he would get his first head coaching job with the Blazers. Mark went on to coach for the next 16 years with 9 seasons in the BCHL with the Vernon Vipers where he was also the GM.For those of you that aren't familiar with the BCHL, it is the top Junior A league in Canada and is an NCAA Div I hockey factory.With the Vipers Mark accomplished something few coaches can claim, he led his team to 3 consecutive National Championships, winning twice.Most recently Mark served as amateur scout for the Buffalo Sabres.I first met Mark after a trade to the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings initially assigned me to their IHL affiliate in Long Beach. Mark was 11 years older than me, a veteran, and a leader. He made me feel comfortable and a part of things while I was with the Ice Dogs.Little did either of us know that 7 years later Mark would be coaching a Junior A team in my hometown. But that's the way hockey works... it's asmall world... and reminds you constantly that being a good human matters. Once your career is done all you have left are the memories and the relationships you made along the way.Mark brings a treasure trove of experience with him as a guest. He has seen it all and knows what it takes to succeed in the sport. He also happens to tell a great story.Enjoy the episode.

With the Bantam draft just a few days behind us, I would like to introduce you to my latest guest Ryan Guenter.For the last decade, Ryan has been heavily involved in the scouting process for various Western Hockey League teams. He broke into the scouting industry as a foot soldier with the Chiliwack Bruins, and made his way to being a head scout a few years later.Ryan is currently a scout for the Winnipeg Ice and is a mental performance consultant. What makes Ryan so unique, is that he brings an educational aspect to the table that gives him a unique, but powerful perspective on the scouting industry.Ryan wrote his thesis on the intangible player characteristics that scouts consider when scouting draft eligible aspects.We dive into what this means, and how scouts are now looking beyond skating, stick handling and shooting abilities.I hope you are ready to gain a whole new perspective on the power of the mind and the impact it has on the sport of hockey!Enjoy episode 14, on Up My Hockey.

This is an incredible discussion with the NHL legend, Daniel Briere.Briere found success at every level of his hockey career, but this did not come without its fair share of challenges.At his peek, he clocked in at 5'9, and weighed less than 190 pounds.Scouts, coaches, GM's and practically everyone else always doubted his ability to compete at the next level due to being undersized.Through special techniques, mental strategies mindset tricks, Briere dominated at each level which stemmed to the NHL, as he shared the responsibilities of Captain for the Buffalo Sabres.There is a lot to be learnt here!Enjoy

Jason Podollan sits down with Kevin Sawyer, current broadcaster for the Winnipeg Jets, and ex NHL tough guy.Kevin Sawyer is a Canadian former National Hockey League right winger who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the St. Louis Blues, Boston Bruins, Phoenix Coyotes, and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. His road to the NHL was not typical, as he discusses how difficult it was for him to be cut from his home town Junior B hockey club at the age of 16. Through grit, toughness, and perseverance, Kevin slowly climbed the ranks in the eyes of the scouts, and earned every second of ice time in the NHL.This is an amazing story about hard work and determination, and a great insight to the mind of one of the toughest guys to ever play the game. Kevin was not the biggest guy on the ice, but he describes his fighting style as a "tactician" of fighting. He prides himself on being able to outsmart his opponent, opposed to out boxing them.Over his 10 year pro career, Kevin ended up fighting NHL legends such as Tie Domi, Chris Simon, Stu Grimson, Bob Probert, Georges Laraque and many, many more. I hope you enjoy this episode of Up My Hockey, with Kevin Sawyer.

Matt Watson, Mike Payne and Kevin Sawyer of DetroitBadBoys.com are joined by SBNation.com's Ricky O'Donnell, who attended Team USA's scrimmage Thursday in Chicago, to discuss Team USA's latest injury scare with DeMarcus Cousins, how that might affect Andre Drummond's chances to make the final roster and whether Pistons fans should even want Drummond to continue playing given the injury risk. Later, the DBB crew discuss the recent report that Greg Monroe has decided to sign Detroit's qualifying offer, which would make him an unrestricted free agent next summer, as well as Monroe's tweets denying the Pistons ever offered a contract in the first place. Is there hostility between Moose and Detroit's front office -- or is Monroe simply annoyed at the media for leaking one side of the conversation? And what role does DBB play in amplifying every rumor? Following Paul George's injury and reports that Roy Hibbert is on the block, are the Pacers falling apart -- and does that open the door for the Pistons? And should fans get excited about seeing the NBA's new 2014-15 schedule? Maybe not, but hey, it's still more fun than baseball.
