Podcasts about Quebec Major Junior Hockey League

It's been a few weeks since you last heard from Anna & Chris, and the Canucks decided to use that break as an opportunity to facilitate a rare August player signing. The pair react to the aquisition of Pius Suter and discuss where he might find himself in the lineup, what it means to a few other role players, and how the Canucks can fit him into an already tight salary cap picture. They also discuss what JT Miller said on the Cam & Strick podcast and why hockey players having personality is a good thing... within reason. And lastly, fighting is going to be outlawed in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Anna & Chris are completely onboard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley: Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through access-to-information law show government officials in the Privy Council Office discussed a Conservative private member's bill launched in response to convicted killer Paul Bernardo's transfer to a medium-security prison, noting it would likely never hit Parliament. Today, Russia launched its first moon-landing spacecraft in 47 years, in a bid to be the first nation to make a soft landing on the lunar south pole – a region believed to hold coveted pockets of water ice. A recent piece in The Conversation presented the argument that Canadians are unprepared for natural hazards. The article itself built on the work of the University of Waterloo's Partners for Action, a research initiative that seeks to empower Canadians to become flood resilient. In the U.S. the FCC has taken steps toward regulating Deepfake technology. Where is Canada on this? The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has officially banned fighting. Will other leagues follow suit, and what does this change mean for the game? It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast! Guests: Tony Baldinelli, MP for Niagara Falls.

The third-seeded Bucks advanced to face second-seeded Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with Game 1 on Sunday in Boston. The Celtics swept Brooklyn. After splitting the first two games, the Bucks won the last three by an average margin of 23.3 points. They won those three games without Khris Middleton, the All-Star who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the fourth quarter of Game 2. Patrick Williams scored 23 points for Chicago. Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors, 7:00 p.m.              (PHI Leads 3-2) Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Pelicans, 7:30 p.m.               (PHX Leads 3-2) Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz, 10:00 p.m.                         (DAL Leads 3-2) MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 5, Detroit Tigers 0 Chicago White Sox 7, Kansas City Royals 3 Chicago Cubs 6, Atlanta Braves 3 – 10 Innings Twins 5, Tigers 0 – Ryan’s arm, Kepler’s bat lead Twins past Tigers 5-0 Joe Ryan threw seven innings of one-hit ball and Max Kepler stayed hot with a pair of home runs as the streaking Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-0. Ryan Jeffers homered, doubled and drove in three runs for the Twins, who won their sixth game in a row. Michael Pineda took the loss for Detroit. He gave up four runs, including all three Twins homers, in five innings against his former team. Ryan was dominant from the start, holding the Tigers hitless until Miguel Cabrera laced a single in the fourth. The right-hander walked just one batter and struck out nine, two shy of his career high. He extended his scoreless streak to 17 2/3 innings and lowered his ERA to 1.17. White Sox 7, Royals 3 – Vaughn homers as White Sox stop slide by topping Royals 7-3 Andrew Vaughn hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox stopped an eight-game slide with a 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The winning rally for the White Sox started when Danny Mendick and Tim Anderson hit consecutive two-out singles off Collin Snider. Scott Barlow then came in, and Vaughn drove his first pitch into the home bullpen in left. The White Sox added another run in the eighth when Leury García scampered home on Reese McGuire’s double-play grounder. Cubs 6, Braves 3 – F/10 – Contreras, Wisdom come through in 10th, Cubs beat Braves 6-3 Willson Contreras gave Chicago the lead with a run-scoring double in the 10th inning, Patrick Wisdom followed with a two-run homer, and the Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves 6-3. Contreras lined his double to the left field wall off Tyler Matzek to drive in automatic runner Ian Happ. After Frank Schwindel struck out, Wisdom launched a drive into the left-center seats for his third homer of the season. The Cubs recovered after right-hander Mychal Givens blew a 3-1 lead in the eighth. Dansby Swanson tied the game with a two-out, two-run single to right. David Robertson relieved Givens and got the win.

Johnson scored on a wrist shot seconds before Dallas, which needed a point to eliminate Vegas regardless, went into overtime at home against Arizona. Johnson’s goal was the only one in 14 attempts in the tiebreaker. Taylor Raddysh had two goals and Caleb Jones also scored for the Blackhawks, who won their second straight. Kevin Lankinen stopped 37 shots. Michael Amadio, Alec Martinez and Max Pacioretty scored for Vegas, and Chandler Stephenson had three assists.

Detroit (from LAR) NFL Draft – Top of NFL draft could lack skill position players This year’s NFL draft has the chance to be unlike any other in recent years with a possible long wait before any of the players who throw, catch or run with the ball coming off the board. There has never been a draft that didn’t have a quarterback, receiver, running back or tight end taken in the top 10 picks in the history of the NFL. A player from those positions going in the top five in all but one of the past 24 drafts. That could change this year with few projections showing skill position players going in the first handful of picks. NFL Draft – Amid uncertainty, prospects display confidence Very little is certain heading into an NFL draft. Not that the prospects on hand seem to care. There’s a level of confidence that, for them, Thursday night’s first round is a sure thing. All of the 20 men on hand for a Play 60 event Wednesday with local youths and Commissioner Roger Goodell believe they have shown the goods to be a high first-rounder. Even the very first pick, which for the second straight year Jacksonville owns. Most likely that will be Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan or Travon Walker of Georgia, both elite pass rushers. CFL – CFL moving hashmarks closer to center of field The Canadian Football League is moving its hashmarks closer to the center of the field and will allow teams to take the ball at the 40-yard line instead of the 35 following a field goal or single under a series of rules changes recently approved by the board of governors. The hashmarks will be 9 yards yards apart instead of the previous 17. Kicks following a safety will be from the 20 instead of the 25. CFL training camps are scheduled to open May 15. Teams will play two exhibition games _ for the first time since 2019 _ and a full 18-game regular campaign opens June 9 with the Montreal Alouettes visiting the Calgary Stampeders. Horse Racing – Hearing officer recommends 2-year NYRA ban for Bob Baffert A retired New York State Supreme Court Justice has recommended a two-year suspension for trainer Bob Baffert for repeated medication violations after a New York Racing Association hearing. Hearing officer O. Peter Sherwood revealed his recommendation in a 50-page report released Wednesday. Baffert’s camp and NYRA have two weeks to offer rebuttals before a three-person panel makes a final decision on the Triple Crown-winning trainer’s status. A suspension in New York until July 2024 would be the result if the panel takes up Sherwood’s full recommendation. Churchill Downs has banned Baffert from entering horses in the Kentucky Derby this year and next. NCAA – As college sports evolve, what will be NCAA president’s job? The NCAA is looking for a new president. Mark Emmert will step down from the job no later than June 2023. Observers say the NCAA should first decide what they want the function of the NCAA to be. The organization is making sweeping changes and handing more power to conferences and schools. Finding someone to lead amid all that turmoil is a challenge. Still, some involved in college sports still believe it will be necessary to have leadership at the top with a comprehensive vision for an organization that still emphasizes the importance of education. CHL – Russian, Belarusian players ineligible for draft The Canadian Hockey League said Wednesday that Russian and Belarusian players will be ineligible for selection in its July 1 import draft because of the war in Ukraine. The CHL is the umbrella organization for the three major junior hockey leagues — the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The ban does not include players currently on CHL protected lists. Last June at the most recent import draft, 16 players from Russia and 11 from Belarus were selected. Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation from all events at all levels. WNBA – Will a Russian prisoner exchange impact Griner? Brittney Griner remains detained in Russia and it’s unclear how an unexpected prisoner exchange between the United States and Russia that freed marine veteran Trevor Reed will affect the status of the WNBA star. Griner has been detained in Russia since mid-February. The deal announced by both countries involving Reed, an American imprisoned for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace. It was all the more surprising because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades. Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing a cannabis derivative legal in much of the world. The offense can mean up to 10 years in prison.

Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation from all events at all levels. WNBA – Will a Russian prisoner exchange impact Griner? Brittney Griner remains detained in Russia and it’s unclear how an unexpected prisoner exchange between the United States and Russia that freed marine veteran Trevor Reed will affect the status of the WNBA star. Griner has been detained in Russia since mid-February. The deal announced by both countries involving Reed, an American imprisoned for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace. It was all the more surprising because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades. Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing a cannabis derivative legal in much of the world. The offense can mean up to 10 years in prison.

NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – First Round Last Night Milwaukee Bucks 116, Chicago Bulls 100                         (MIL Wins 4-1) Golden State Warriors 102, Denver Nuggets 98               (GSW Wins 4-1) Bucks 116, Bulls 100 – Bucks rout Bulls 116-100 in Game 5, advance to face Celtics Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points and nine rebounds and the defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks routed the Chicago Bulls 116-100 on Wednesday night to finish off the first-round series in five games. The third-seeded Bucks advanced to face second-seeded Boston in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with Game 1 on Sunday in Boston. The Celtics swept Brooklyn. After splitting the first two games, the Bucks won the last three by an average margin of 23.3 points. They won those three games without Khris Middleton, the All-Star who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the fourth quarter of Game 2. Patrick Williams scored 23 points for Chicago. Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Toronto Raptors, 7:00 p.m.              (PHI Leads 3-2) Phoenix Suns at New Orleans Pelicans, 7:30 p.m.               (PHX Leads 3-2) Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz, 10:00 p.m.                         (DAL Leads 3-2) MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 5, Detroit Tigers 0 Chicago White Sox 7, Kansas City Royals 3 Chicago Cubs 6, Atlanta Braves 3 – 10 Innings Twins 5, Tigers 0 – Ryan’s arm, Kepler’s bat lead Twins past Tigers 5-0 Joe Ryan threw seven innings of one-hit ball and Max Kepler stayed hot with a pair of home runs as the streaking Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-0. Ryan Jeffers homered, doubled and drove in three runs for the Twins, who won their sixth game in a row. Michael Pineda took the loss for Detroit. He gave up four runs, including all three Twins homers, in five innings against his former team. Ryan was dominant from the start, holding the Tigers hitless until Miguel Cabrera laced a single in the fourth. The right-hander walked just one batter and struck out nine, two shy of his career high. He extended his scoreless streak to 17 2/3 innings and lowered his ERA to 1.17. White Sox 7, Royals 3 – Vaughn homers as White Sox stop slide by topping Royals 7-3 Andrew Vaughn hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox stopped an eight-game slide with a 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The winning rally for the White Sox started when Danny Mendick and Tim Anderson hit consecutive two-out singles off Collin Snider. Scott Barlow then came in, and Vaughn drove his first pitch into the home bullpen in left. The White Sox added another run in the eighth when Leury García scampered home on Reese McGuire’s double-play grounder. Cubs 6, Braves 3 – F/10 – Contreras, Wisdom come through in 10th, Cubs beat Braves 6-3 Willson Contreras gave Chicago the lead with a run-scoring double in the 10th inning, Patrick Wisdom followed with a two-run homer, and the Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves 6-3. Contreras lined his double to the left field wall off Tyler Matzek to drive in automatic runner Ian Happ. After Frank Schwindel struck out, Wisdom launched a drive into the left-center seats for his third homer of the season. The Cubs recovered after right-hander Mychal Givens blew a 3-1 lead in the eighth. Dansby Swanson tied the game with a two-out, two-run single to right. David Robertson relieved Givens and got the win. Today Detroit (Skubal 1-1) at Minnesota (Ober 1-1), 1:10 p.m.              WSJM/WCSY 12:50 Kansas City (Keller 0-2) at Chicago White Sox (Kopech 0-0), 2:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Smyly 1-1) at Atlanta (Wright 2-0), 7:20 p.m. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Chicago Blackhawks 4, Vegas Golden Knights 3 – Shootout Blackhawks 4, Golden Knights 3 – SO – Johnson scores in SO, Blackhawks beat Golden Knights 4-3 Tyler Johnson scored in the seventh round of the shootout, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat Vegas 4-3, eliminating the Golden Knights from the playoff race. Johnson scored on a wrist shot seconds before Dallas, which needed a point to eliminate Vegas regardless, went into overtime at home against Arizona. Johnson’s goal was the only one in 14 attempts in the tiebreaker. Taylor Raddysh had two goals and Caleb Jones also scored for the Blackhawks, who won their second straight. Kevin Lankinen stopped 37 shots. Michael Amadio, Alec Martinez and Max Pacioretty scored for Vegas, and Chandler Stephenson had three assists. Logan Thompson also had 37 saves. 2022 NFL Draft Round 1 1. Jacksonville 2. Detroit 3. Houston 4. NY Jets 5. NY Giants 6. Carolina 7. NY Giants (from CHI) 8. Atlanta 9. Seattle (from DEN) 10.

Detroit (from LAR) NFL Draft – Top of NFL draft could lack skill position players This year’s NFL draft has the chance to be unlike any other in recent years with a possible long wait before any of the players who throw, catch or run with the ball coming off the board. There has never been a draft that didn’t have a quarterback, receiver, running back or tight end taken in the top 10 picks in the history of the NFL. A player from those positions going in the top five in all but one of the past 24 drafts. That could change this year with few projections showing skill position players going in the first handful of picks. NFL Draft – Amid uncertainty, prospects display confidence Very little is certain heading into an NFL draft. Not that the prospects on hand seem to care. There’s a level of confidence that, for them, Thursday night’s first round is a sure thing. All of the 20 men on hand for a Play 60 event Wednesday with local youths and Commissioner Roger Goodell believe they have shown the goods to be a high first-rounder. Even the very first pick, which for the second straight year Jacksonville owns. Most likely that will be Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan or Travon Walker of Georgia, both elite pass rushers. CFL – CFL moving hashmarks closer to center of field The Canadian Football League is moving its hashmarks closer to the center of the field and will allow teams to take the ball at the 40-yard line instead of the 35 following a field goal or single under a series of rules changes recently approved by the board of governors. The hashmarks will be 9 yards yards apart instead of the previous 17. Kicks following a safety will be from the 20 instead of the 25. CFL training camps are scheduled to open May 15. Teams will play two exhibition games _ for the first time since 2019 _ and a full 18-game regular campaign opens June 9 with the Montreal Alouettes visiting the Calgary Stampeders. Horse Racing – Hearing officer recommends 2-year NYRA ban for Bob Baffert A retired New York State Supreme Court Justice has recommended a two-year suspension for trainer Bob Baffert for repeated medication violations after a New York Racing Association hearing. Hearing officer O. Peter Sherwood revealed his recommendation in a 50-page report released Wednesday. Baffert’s camp and NYRA have two weeks to offer rebuttals before a three-person panel makes a final decision on the Triple Crown-winning trainer’s status. A suspension in New York until July 2024 would be the result if the panel takes up Sherwood’s full recommendation. Churchill Downs has banned Baffert from entering horses in the Kentucky Derby this year and next. NCAA – As college sports evolve, what will be NCAA president’s job? The NCAA is looking for a new president. Mark Emmert will step down from the job no later than June 2023. Observers say the NCAA should first decide what they want the function of the NCAA to be. The organization is making sweeping changes and handing more power to conferences and schools. Finding someone to lead amid all that turmoil is a challenge. Still, some involved in college sports still believe it will be necessary to have leadership at the top with a comprehensive vision for an organization that still emphasizes the importance of education. CHL – Russian, Belarusian players ineligible for draft The Canadian Hockey League said Wednesday that Russian and Belarusian players will be ineligible for selection in its July 1 import draft because of the war in Ukraine. The CHL is the umbrella organization for the three major junior hockey leagues — the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The ban does not include players currently on CHL protected lists. Last June at the most recent import draft, 16 players from Russia and 11 from Belarus were selected. Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation from all events at all levels. WNBA – Will a Russian prisoner exchange impact Griner? Brittney Griner remains detained in Russia and it’s unclear how an unexpected prisoner exchange between the United States and Russia that freed marine veteran Trevor Reed will affect the status of the WNBA star. Griner has been detained in Russia since mid-February. The deal announced by both countries involving Reed, an American imprisoned for nearly three years, would have been a notable diplomatic maneuver even in times of peace. It was all the more surprising because it was done as Russia’s war with Ukraine has driven relations with the U.S. to their lowest point in decades. Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist who was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing a cannabis derivative legal in much of the world. The offense can mean up to 10 years in prison.

Red birds symbolize passion, courage, war, health, well-being, culture, and tradition. There are many red birds with many different symbols, yet they all have one thing in common: their bold and passionate nature. This absolutely symbolizes our new Redbird associate coach and former captain, Patrick Delisle-Houde. As you listen to the podcast, you will remark that each one of these adjectives above are in his story and the way he tells it. Patrick Delisle-Houde has been appointed as full-time associate coach with the McGill University men's hockey program. A native of Quebec City who turned 30 on Aug. 15, Delisle-Houde (BSc Kinesiology '15, MSc '17), returns to his alma mater after four years with the Montreal Canadiens, where he served as the NHL team's strength and conditioning coordinator. Currently working on his doctorate thesis at McGill, he has published several essays dealing with training methods, strength and conditioning and physiology to name a few. "The ultimate team player, Pat has a relentless work ethic and commits himself to improving his craft on a daily basis," said Urquhart, who first mentored him while serving as assistant coach at McGill. "He brings passion, strong leadership skills and an understanding of how sports science contributes to team success." Both bench bosses have earned undergrad and master's degrees from McGill which provides the program with arguably one of the most educated coaching tandems in Canadian university hockey history. "PDH", as he is known, missed only four games over his five seasons at McGill, from 2012 to 2017, where he served his final two years as team captain. The 6-foot-1, 194-pound forward tallied 171 points, including 68 goals, in 204 games overall, to go along with 318 penalty minutes. He ranks second in the team record book for most career contests played, seven shy of the standard set by Evan Vossen. In 2012-13, PDH merited OUA all-rookie team honours and he culminated that freshman campaign with the Guy Lafleur Trophy, presented to the Quebec university player who best combines hockey excellence with academic success and citizenship. In each of his five seasons, he earned Academic All-Canadian status as well as making the Principal's Student-athlete Honour Roll. Prior to enrolling at McGill, PDH skated four seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, suiting up with both Rimouski (2008-2011) and Moncton (2011-12), where he posted a combined 70-113-183 record in 286 regular season games.

The inspiring Yanic Duplessis joins the broadcast as the youngest guest ever on Hockey 2 Hell And Back ! Live Sunday January 24, 2021 7PM EST Yanic Duplessis, a 17-year-old elite hockey player in Canada, has come out publicly as gay. “I just want to share my story, so if someone is going through the same thing I did, I want to help, even if it’s only one person that reads this,” he said in an interview with Craig Eagles of the “Out in the Open” podcast. His story is familiar to any young person dealing with their sexuality, with the added pressure of being a talented hockey player drafted by two junior leagues, stepping stones to playing higher-level hockey, including the NHL. “It was a struggle for me, and it shouldn’t be,” Duplessis said. “I felt like an outcast.” Duplessis was outed this June when a friend he confided in about being gay spread the news at a party he was not even at. He got a call from a former teammate who asked him if the rumor was true and panicked about how he would be received. He soon got his answer. “Honestly, a lot of friends and teammates have called me,” he said on the podcast. “One teammate actually came over to my house to check on me. It was the first day he found out. He came over to make sure that I knew that he accepted me and supported me. “We talked a lot and he started crying because he knew I was going through a very tough time and that I was doing it alone. ... I will never forget that.” Like a lot of teenagers coming to grips with their sexual orientation, Duplessis felt isolated, depressed, anxious and constantly afraid his secret would come out. “It eats you up inside,” he told the CBC. Duplessis’ coming out journey was aided by parents, Diane Dandurand and Andre Duplessis, who were worried when his grades suddenly dropped. “My mom would always come to pick me up from school when I wasn’t feeling well,” said Dupkessis, who lives in Saint-Antoine, New Brunswick, in Canada’s Maritime provinces. “Both my parents were starting to get really worried, especially my mom. She called the school and cried when she spoke to the principal.” “My principal spoke to me asking what was wrong, he referred me to the school’s psychologist. No one knew what was wrong with me, but they all knew something was wrong.” He finally couldn’t take it any more and came out to his parents. “My parents automatically said that they loved me no matter what and that they accepted me,” he said. The 5-10, 190-pound Duplessis still couldn’t bring himself to come out to his teammates (he was playing for a high-level midget team) despite being drafted by the two junior leagues and being a star player. “I was terrified that the wrong person would out me, especially when I wasn’t ready to say anything,” he said. “I was scared of being rejected and judged. “I was scared that my teammates would be afraid to be around me or them thinking I would go after them. They were like brothers to me and I never looked at them that way.” Part of what scared him was the culture of a hockey locker room, where he was so nervous about being found out that he avoided showering with the rest of the team. RELATED Conversation: The current state of LGBTQ acceptance and homophobia in men’s hockey “I’m not saying hockey players aren’t nice, because they are, but in the dressing room between the boys, and I certainly don’t want to offend anyone, but in the room people say some things to be cool or whatever,” he said. “They would say things about being gay or something and laugh at it. I would do the same thing, because I wanted to blend in.” Duplessis was drafted in 2019 by the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, which counts among its alumi such NHL stars as Mario Lemieux, Guy Lafleur, Ray Bourque, Pat LaFontaine, Mike Bossy, Denis Savard, Michel Goulet, Luc Robitaille and Patrick Roy. For now, though, he wants to play close to home this fall for his high school team before starting his junior hockey career. He wants time to process all he’s been through before jumping up a level in the sport he has been passionate about since he was a young boy. Asked for what advice he would give a future teammate about how to act in the locker room around someone who is gay, Duplessis was direct. “Be careful what you say, watch what you say in the room. It’s just not about being gay, it could be about anything that could trigger something. “Just be careful what you talk about in the room.” Yanic Duplessis can be followed on Instagram. Following the “Out in the Open” podcast, he was also interviewed by the CBC.

He played in the NHL for the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders. Besides Moncton, Dan has also coached for 11 years in the NHL for the NY Islanders, Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens. We had a great conversation on this episode where we dove into what he discovered about becoming a professional player in the game. We got into how he evolved as a coach, how he connects with his players, how he coached and parented his own kid, his thoughts on how to handle parents for our youth coaches, what the schedule feels like to be a coach today, and the non-negotiable skills you must possess if you want to coach in the NHL one day. We discussed some great nuggets he learned from Roger himself, and what is one common trait he’s noticed about some of the best coaches in the game.

Introducing the most inspirational coach in the hockey world: Vince Malts. I’m not kidding. He truly believes and constantly strives to be the MOST inspirational coach in the hockey world. As a former professional hockey player, mindset coach, and now owner of bloodline hockey, he completely understands what it takes to be a high performing hockey player. But nothing taught him that more than becoming a father himself. Having children not only gave him a new appreciation and understanding of his hockey family, but it also shaped how he shows up for them. Coach Vinny Malts has been at the forefront of incorporating mindset development through sport. He has been named the Student of the Year from the Mindset Performance Institute for his outstanding work with youth athletes. Vince Malts has coached at the professional and amateur level for over 20 years. He has been featured as a speaker for the USHL, USA Hockey, The Roger Neilson Coaching Clinic, Union College and many others. He is also the host of the Roger Neilson Coaches Podcast. After 10 years of playing minor pro hockey, Coach Vince decided to follow his passion for coaching and mentoring players. He has been fortunate to have coached at the ECHL, EJHL and Tier I U18/U16/U14 levels. Coach Malts has helped build some of the strongest youth hockey programs around the country. He has experience of building successful programs at every level/stage of development. His professional playing journey began in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for the Hull Olympiques, where he was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks. His head coaching journey began over 10 years ago under the mentorship of the Legacy Global Sports family, which is the largest professional youth hockey organization around the world. Since beginning his coaching journey, Coach Vince has helped develop and place players into the National Hockey League, NCAA Division I/III, Canadian Hockey League & the United States Hockey League programs. He has helped to build some of the top ranked teams in the country including a Tier I National Championship. Coach Vince is a certified USA Hockey Level 4 Coach, Mindset Performance Institute Ambassador, Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and International Youth Conditioning Association Specialist. In this interview, Vince describes his holistic approach to coaching hockey. Spoiler alert! It involves identifying what you need to work on and knowing who to go to for help or guidance. His Mantra: I am what I do. “I do” being an acronym that stands for identify, direct and own. An incredibly powerful message he makes sure all his hockey players understand and apply to themselves. Part of the reason Vince considers himself to be such a high performer is because he is committed to certain aspects of his life, which he refers to as his “non-negotiables” - one of them being nutrients. He says it is extremely important to him to know what he is putting in his body and whether or not it is boosting his performance. And when he says performance, he means that in every aspect of his life: supporting his hockey family, coaching, parenting, you name it.
