Ep. 117 Hockey Dreams vs Reality: The Truth About Making the NHL

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to chase a professional sports dream? In this episode, we sit down with a former competitive minor hockey player, Josh, in Canada to unpack a world that most people only see from the outside. From intense training schedules and constant competition to the path toward the National Hockey League, we talk about the real level of commitment — time, money, and pressure — behind it all. But more importantly, we explore a side that doesn’t get talked about enough: what happens when you realize you might not be part of the small percentage that makes it, and how you navigate that turning point. This isn’t just a conversation about sports — it’s about ambition, trade-offs, and making big life decisions. If you’re at a crossroads yourself, this one might resonate.
