In this week's episode, hear from WHL Commissioner Ron Robison, Spokane Chiefs forward Berkly Catton and Medicine Hat Tigers forward Gavin McKenna.

Matt Bardsley took a very different route to WHL management, than most GM's. He enjoyed the sport of hockey as a spectator, then zamboni driver, minor hockey coach, and scout for several years with the Portland Winterhawks, before becoming Director of Player Personnel, and finally, AGM in 2013.During his time as AGM of the Winterhawks, Bardsley helped lead the team to a WHL Championship in 2013, during their third of four consecutive trips to the league finals.Bardsley discusses with Jason the importance of building confidence and what he looks for when recruiting players to build a championship-winning team.

A Spokane Chief through and through, Toporowski said "playing in the WHL was the only thing he wanted to do" as a young hockey player. His Dad was a Chief, his older brother was a Chief, so for this USA/Canada dual citizen playing for the Chicago Mission, his goals went against the typical American hockey player's goal of playing in the USHL as a pathway to the NCAA.Luke's dream came true when he was signed by the Spokane Chiefs and moved out to Spokane where is grandparents lived, and where he spent his summers growing up.Luke represented the USA at the Gretzky/Hlinka Cup and it was a 3rd round draft pick prediction, but the draft came and went without Luke's name being called. Not his first year, second year, or third.Yet here he is, talking to Jason about signing his first NHL contract with the Boston Bruins, and how he never gave up on his dream.

Former professional hockey player and current scout for the Spokane Chiefs, Greg Batters, shares his insights and expertise on the crucial need for players to focus on the mental side of the game. Batters emphasizes the importance of having confidence in oneself, using criticism as motivation, and training not just the physical and practical skills, but also the mental game. His message is clear: to improve their game and achieve their goals, players must focus on the things they can control and have faith in themselves.Private Goalie Mindset Coaching: https://www.petefry.net/results-coachingDaily Insight and Tips: https://www.instagram.com/goalie_mindset/ and https://www.tiktok.com/@petefrymindsetListen to other podcasts: https://www.petefry.net/podcastStay up to date with everything at https://www.petefry.net/

As athletes, we dedicate ourselves to being the absolute best we can be at our craft. No matter the field of play, for most, the journey eventually focuses on one sport. Adam Power was on the hot route to professional hockey before his dream was derailed by injury. Instead of turning to coaching or other work within the game, he decided to pursue one of the hardest things to do in athletics, become a pro at a different sport - and he did just that. –Adam “AJ” Power, is a former hockey player turned professional golfer who currently plays on the mini-tours in Las Vegas, Phoenix, and California. AJ has been in the top 15 of finishers on several events and is grinding away to achieve his first win. With a long game that is well known by coaches and competitors - we don't think he's far off. AJ grew up playing hockey and his talents took him from the amateur AAA level to the WHL, cutting his teeth with the legendary Spokane Chiefs as a 16-year-old. Known as a highly talented puck-moving defenseman, His speed, toughness, heavy shot, and 6'5, 200lb frame excited coaches and scouts alike. AJ was on the path towards the NHL draft before, unfortunately, injuries and concussions forced him to retire.While he may have been finished with hockey, he was not finished with sports. Shortly after retiring, AJ made the bold decision to dive headfirst into golf and began training with legendary Coach Greg LaBelle at the famed Butch Harmon School of Golf. The rest, as they say, is history. AJ is married to his beautiful wife Danielle, they have a Chocolate Lab named Ruby, and they recently welcomed their first child, son Oliver Power.
