Episode 72: Andrew Dovey

Episode 72: Andrew Dovey. Another fellow Burlington raised hockey player joined the prohockeypod this week. Andrew Dovey didn’t have the usual Canadian hockey path. He didn’t play AAA hockey until his OHL draft year and ended up playing Tier 2 junior until he was 21. We talked about some memories of junior, including going all the way to the Sunderland Cup Finals in his last season. Andrew would go on to D3 Adrian College, where funny enough, we would play against each other 2 times in the playoffs (1-1). Dovey would play 1 year of pro in the SPHL after college before transitioning to coaching. He would go to Canisius College as a Graduate Assistant for 2 seasons which lead to him where he is today at University of Toronto in USports. Andrew talked about all he has learned along his journey and how he tries to share his experiences with his athletes at UofT. We also mentioned early how it is awesome to see how many people from Burlington who went on to have long playing careers or have gotten into coaching. A testament to the city of Burlington and how many players have developed in the Eagles system. Hope you enjoy!
