Amazing episode with Wendi! It was great for me as a busy hockey mom but also my peewee who often tries to make good eating choices but understanding what he really needs will help us!! Thank you

Such awesome content for shorter car rides and short attention spans (like kids)!

As a player and youth coach, this is a great resource. Love the energy from the hosts!

Hello I am a young hockey player and I would like to submit a guest idea. I think you should have Conner Bedard. Because of his talent and this being his draft year.

This is awesome content! Everyone needs to listen too this.

This podcast is rich with insight!! Youth hockey is full of challenges to navigate as a parent. This podcast has taught our family so much!! It has also been extremely helpful for my player as he navigates different challenges with coaching and teammates. He has also benefited from general advice on how to achieve his goals. I would encourage all parents to put it on and listen with your player while on the road to the rink.

When I started to listen to this podcast, I felt extremely respected because when a less popular sport gains popularity because of what some people do is so awesome. They made the best sport on the planet even better during road trips!

I am a grandfather and far removed from those fun days playing hockey on the driveway year round and on local ponds in winter in suburban Buffalo, but the breadth and depth of topics covered here, with hockey as a focal point, keep me coming back to listen each week. Working through old podcasts too as I have found this one about 3 months ago. Some of these gems are the best podcasts I have ever listened to. Phenomenal interviews and really enjoy the hosts here as they support all of us get better at what we do. Thanks guys for what you do. Appreciate your honesty and humility. Keep up the good work. I will be listening,and sharing these with family and friends.

Honestly a great podcast. They have guests that are pure hockey geeks through and through (much like themselves). Even when they don’t have a guest, their down to earth nature and camaraderie always make for an informative, highly interesting listen. I often tell my wife and son to go listen to an episode because of 1 or 2 things that are super great insight.

My son & I listen to this podcast on the way to school, the rink, or traveling for game weekends. Such great life advice is shared and it helps me to learn about hockey life and situations from many different viewpoints. I love how Topher & Jeff balance each other out, we always are entertained when listening! I recommend this podcast to all our hockey friends !

I’ve always thought being a great hockey player was comprised of both on and off-I’ve components, and this podcast gives hockey players/parents/coaches information they need to become better on and off the ice.

Great show for hockey dads who never played the game but their kids are absolutely obsessed with the greatest team sport on the planet. Very informative and entertaining.

Topher and Jeff are as equally entertaining as they are informative with terrific guests.

Very informative with a wide range of pertinent topics.

From the interview with Army Coach, Brian Riley, to the Adversity episode and then rounding it out with Coach Barr from U of Maine- always great info and things that help the players and parents.

As a youth hockey coach every podcast episode offers new perspectives and ideas. We listen most episodes with my 9 year old sin who plays travel hickey and get a lot of value from each episode. My son can recite The Hockey Think Tank Podcast intro monologue perfect!!!!

The Hockey Think Tank is my favorite podcast, look forward to the new episodes to drop on Monday morning each week. I have listened to every episode!! Keep the great guests coming!!

Toph and Jeff are exemplary guys sharing their life’s work to better our hockey community. These guys are grinders. They do the hard work and stay humble. Keep it up.

My 9 year old son and I look forward to listening to your podcast on our way to and from hockey. It inspires him as a player and athlete. I know that’s cliche but we have seen a shift in his mental toughness and motivation since listening. It has also been a catalyst to spark great conversations with him. Thanks and keep up the great content.

Awesome episode. Going to have my boys listen again.

The think tank is a game changer to youth hockey I am 1988 birth year and now a dad to a 2012 birth year I wish the think tank and all its resources was around back then . Thank you toph n Jeff !!!!! 1percent better each day

Hockey Think Tank is a tremendous resource for players, coaches and parents. Topher and Jeff are genuinely good dudes who care a lot about the game, and their podcast is first class!

1st podcast of any kind I’ve listened to. Episode 102. Great stuff! Will be listening much, much more!

Among the BEST! Great insights from all segments of the hockey world... All-star list of guests and very natural flow to both the front-end intro’s and the interviews. Highly recommended! Keep up the great work, guys!

As a single hockey mom, navigating youth hockey over the past 10 years has been confusing at times. Sometimes I never really know who to ask or what to ask, and this show has helped me understand how the game works, both for players and parents. Always relevant and extremely positive, I look forward to each podcast. My son is currently 15, and I think that this show has helped me understand midget and junior hockey a great deal, because many of us feel as though hockey is coming to an end. However, I have learned that my son has more time to play and grow than I imagined. I only hope that my son continues to live the game and grow the game in his adult life as you gentleman have done. Thank you for providing quality content, week after week.

As the parent of a hockey fanatic child with no family experience in hockey (does dating hockey players count 🤦🏼‍♀️), I love this podcast for the advice on how to guide my player towards the best hockey experience for him. I feel like Topher and Jeff are the newest members of my family. I can’t wait until my son is old enough to listen to these podcasts on his own; The Hockey Think Tank is an awesome resource.

As a parent of a 8U hockey player who is about to be a 10U player I’m so grateful for this podcast. Great job boys!

Seriously this is awesome, glad I found it and now telling everyone, southern hockey programs should make this mandatory listening.

Very insightful and interesting.

Exceptional podcast reflects hockey culture at its finest. As a hockey coach, parent and player I find every episode useful. These are stories about life. Listening to these episodes makes me want to be better. Thanks guys.

Was recently introduced to Think Tank by a local coach. Topher and Jeff do a great job about informing people on different aspects of hockey from youth to pro and bring on interesting guests from all around North America. They have been a big part of the culture ideas shared amongst coaches at our club and changed how a lot of people look at bettering the hockey experience for youth players in our area. Keep the good work up boys.

The content is amazing, insightful learnings each episode, there passion to grow hockey and help the hockey community comes though in every way

Jeff and Topher are not only entertaining but informative. I highly recommend this pod cast to anyone in the hockey world. Whether your a player parent or coach the hockey Think Tank Podcast has something for you.

Started listening to the podcast a year ago. This weekend my 8u son and I were driving to his 7a game listening and to Alex Tuch. During the podcast he talks about the mindset find it, fix it, forget it. During the game Cooper turned to me and said find it, fix it, and forget it. I thought he was sleeping in the car!!! You guys do a great job and have all the parents on my team listening

This podcast is fantastic on a number of levels. The hockey conversation is always great, but really every episode could be applicable to every sport; especially at the youth level and to daily mindset as well. I’ve grown as a person, not just a hockey dad/coach by listening weekly to this podcast.

Great listen for all hockey geeks. They cover a wide range of topics and keep the conversation flowing well. I highly recommend it!

Topher and Jeff do an awesome job of going deep and getting the most out of their awesome guests whether it’s stories, opinions, suggestions, etc. So much hockey information as well as information that translates straight to the real world, definitely worth the subscribe!

Such a good podcast for insights and development for coaches and players alike. Can’t recommend this enough as a former player and hopefully future coach. I’ve been binging since I found it. Way to go guys, your message is awesome!

This podcast is pretty much the only thing my three sons and I listen to while going to the rink. Very good information for all ages.

They cover every aspect of the game from the kids to the pros . Something for everyone . It makes me want to be a better coach

If you are a Youth Hockey parent or coach and you do nothing else, listen to this podcast! There is not a better, more in-depth forum out there on the Youth Hockey Developmental Philosophy. Both Jeff and Topher have played and coached at seriously high levels of the game and speak from a place of experience, knowledge and perspective most can’t even imagine. I listen to several podcasts in this space and although there are many good ones out there, this one is my go to. I listen to every episode more than once and what’s even better is that my 7 year old loves listening as well (He loves Topher’s intro “The. Greatest. Game. On. The. Planet!” and Jeff cracks him up with his protein smoothie reports).... It truly is a great way to pass the time on the way to practices and games and even a player as young as my son gets positive energy from it. I quickly recommend this to anyone looking to be a better hockey parent or coach. Even more so for the ones that think they already know it all and need it the most. Absolute 5 Star. 100%!

Great info for hockey people. Listen and get better. Thank you for doing this Topher and Jeff. Entertaining and informative with great guests. Educational. Solid perspective on what is going on in the hockey world at all levels. Listen all the time in the car and airport!

This is "real" information and so important for the youth hockey community. I wish you were creating ther rules and norms for the future of youth hockey. Thank you!

I read your article on the high cost of youth hockey on Facebook and one of my friends commented I should give your podcast a listen. Totally hooked. I’ve been coaching youth hockey for 9 years and played AAA hockey growing up in the late 80’s early 90’s. The insight that you guys and your guests bring is so inspiring. Keep up the great work. Eat,sleep,Hockey, repeat!

I am a youth coach and have coached from Atoms to Bantam and over the years I have felt beaten down. As a coach I know what’s right for the kids but I always feel only a handful of coaches in my organization are like minded. This podcast is a great reminder that there are more coaches and parents that get it! Thank you Hockey Think Tank for giving me the new hope of sticking to my beliefs.

Majestic.

Just stumbled on this podcast in a twitter email blast. So glad I did. I want to do everything I can to be a better youth hockey coach for my kids and their teammates, and after listening to three episodes it sounds like this podcast definitely can’t hurt.

Plain and simple - I do love this podcast. My 1 request and this may be difficult is to get into more specifics for youth players in terms of exactly what they can be doing. As a coach of U12, U10 and U8 players, I’d love specific input for goals, off ice and progression development thru those age groups. Keep up the good work guys!!
