    Hockey IQ - Project Hockey - Danny Heath - EP169

    You ever hear of Hockey IQ?Well, today’s guest is someone who’s quietly building one of the most impactful development platforms in hockey right now.Danny Heath is the founder of Project Hockey — a training system that’s changing how players actually improve.Not just on the ice, but in how they think the game.Because the reality is, most players don’t fail from lack of effort… they fail from lack of access.Access to the right coaching, the right reps, and the right way to understand hockey at a deeper level. And Danny’s mission has been to close that gap.From growing up in a non-traditional hockey market, to playing at the USHL and Division I level, to now coaching and developing players across the world — he’s taken everything he learned and built something that’s not just effective, but scalable.Project Hockey isn’t just another training app.It’s a shift in mindset. It’s about hockey IQ, decision-making, consistency, and giving players a real path to get better — even if they don’t have elite resources.And what I know I’ll love about this conversation is that Danny doesn’t just talk about development — he challenges a lot of the assumptions we all have about what actually makes players improve.So if you’re a player, parent, or coach trying to figure out what really moves the needle… this is one you’re going to want to pay attention to.Thanks for stopping in and enjoy the episode.To Learn More About Danny Heath and the Project Hockey AppWebsite:https://www.projecthockey.com/Social:@projecthockey and @danny_hypeCoach Lance PitlickTo Learn More, Visit Online Hockey TrainingLargest Online Database of Off-Ice Stickhandling, Passing, and Shooting Drillshttps://www.onlinehockeytraining.com/In-person lessons with Coach Lancehttps://www.sweethockeycoach.com/Check Out the Heads Up Hockey Apphttps://headsuphockey.ai/

    The Hockey Healer - Dr. Kerry Johnson EP147

    If there's one guarantee from my experiences being a hockey player, there's going to be a few times during your career where you had an injury or got dinged up.  After a while, and going through the normal therapy & healing protocols, things don't improve as planned, resulting in you not being able to get back on the ice.  What do you do then?  I'll tell you, you search everywhere for a possible solution, sometimes months will go by without finding a resolution.  That's where someone like Dr. Johnson comes to the rescue.  Solving the unsolvable is the best way I can describe what I witnessed with my wife and kids seeing Doc Johnson.  I can't remember how we found him, but I know it wasn't me.  We're going to get a bunch of questions answered and then some.  Thanks for stopping by.

    Conversation with Michael O'Neill Today's Conversation with Michael O'Neill Today’s conversation is with someone I'm grateful is in my life and respect immensely, Michael O'Neill. Mr. O'Neill has worn many hats over the years: a club hockey player during his college days, a dedicated youth hockey coach, and a respected attorney who once helped me through a significant business legal matter. Today, our conversation comes full circle, as our sons face off against each other in college hockey this weekend—a moment that marks just how much our hockey journeys have intertwined. Mike didn’t accomplish anything of significance as a hockey player, but his contributions in the past as a youth hockey coach are immeasurable. The hockey diamond in the rough connection that puts Mr. O'Neill at the highest level is his contributions to Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services (SMRLS), which helps people that are in need of legal services but can’t afford it.

    Robb Stauber Hockey Journey (Part One) EP144

    An Awesome Day with Robb Stauber! Hi everyone, this is going to be an awesome day, as my son Rem is sitting in on this episode, and I am pumped to visit with a former teammate of mine from the University of Minnesota – goaltender Robb Stauber. I'm not kidding you when I say he was the most talented goalie I got to play in front of. Maybe I think that because he saved my butt probably hundreds of times after a bad read or when I coughed up the puck for a breakaway. Mr. Stauber was always there for me! By my sophomore year, I’d hardly backcheck when I made a bonehead play, because I knew Robb was there. He’s the 1st goalie to ever win the Hobey Baker Award, made it to the top of the hockey mountain as a player with NHL stops in LA and Buffalo, and has pursued equally impressive coaching and entrepreneurial ventures. This is Part One of an incredible hockey journey. I hope you enjoy it!

    Today, we have a special guest joining us on the Hockey Journey podcast: Logan Cuvo.

It's like when you're the fan of the home team that's down by 3 at the end of the second, battle back to tie the game in dramatic fashion, sending the contest into overtime, only to lose that game in the first 30 seconds of the final frame. 😞 That's how I felt. We were settled in, ready for the next chapter of Terry's story, getting to the really good stuff, and then it's over. Well, today we're going to fix that. Terry Harper has an incredible story. Born in 1940, his childhood wasn't an easy one, as he was raised during the war and experienced all the hardships that came along with this worldwide challenge. He also, at a young age, came close to losing his life from the complications of a fire he was involved in, resulting in years of skin grafting, not knowing if he'd survive the event or be able to walk or do sports ever again. But as we'll see throughout his 18-year tenure in the NHL, Terry exemplified the epitome of defensive prowess. A cornerstone of the Montreal Canadiens' dynasty from 1963-1972, he played an integral role in securing an impressive five Stanley Cup victories for the historic franchise. 🏆 So, Ladies and Gentlemen, get your end dialed in, as we begin part two of the captivating tale of Terry Harper, a beacon of inspiration whose resilience, dedication, and unwavering spirit continue to resonate with hockey enthusiasts around the world. 🌟 Check out the links below to learn more about the amazing hockey life of Terry Harper!!

    Blake Sloan Hockey Journey EP135 (Part Two)

    Well it happens sometimes, when I do an interview with someone, the hour flys by and we don't even come close to finishing the hockey journey of the individual. I thought I'd have to wait weeks to get back on Mr. Sloan's schedule, but I got that lane to the net and here we are a few days later, ready to tap into part 2 of his hockey journey. Here's where we left off. He's new to the professional game, was asked to move from a life-time of playing defense, up to playing forward in the minors from time to time with the Houston Aeros. Caught the attention of the Dallas Stars brass his second year, and was offered an NHL contract at the end of that campaign. We know from part one, that he jumped on a rocket ship when he signed with the Stars, playing in their final 12 regular season games, and most of their NHL playoff games, capping off an unbelievable year by winning the Stanley cup. If you're ready to get wowed & inspired a second time with Blake Sloan, well grab the beverage of your choice and settle into part two of his story, Here we go :) To learn more about Blake Sloan - https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=5010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_Sloan For more information regarding Coach Lance Pitlick Online Hockey Training Largest Online Data-Base Off-Ice Stickhandling, Passing and Shooting Drills https://www.onlinehockeytraining.com/ In-person lessons with Coach Lance https://www.sweethockeycoach.com/

    Blake Sloan Hockey Journey EP13 (Part One)

    I can't wait to share my next guest, Blake Sloan's hockey journey, because it is truly remarkable.  Let me quickly summarize it in a couple sentences. Broken ankle, broken face, high school championship, NCAA National Champion, Stanley Cup Champion, a Europe Professional League Championship, and was on the bench when one of his Michigan teammates introduced the world to the now famous, the original Michigan move and lacrosse style goal. Though he accomplished and experienced a lot of the good stuff during his incredible hockey journey, unfortunately, the road he traveled wasn't scripted to perfection, not having any challenges or hardships along the way, where everything just came easy for him.  That doesn't happen for anyone, and Mr. Sloan was no exception.  If you want to hear the story of a kid, who let his character, work ethic, adaptability and never give up mentality until you get what you want, then buckle up because we are in for a wild ride.   If you're ready to get wowed & inspired, grab the beverage of your choice and settle into a story that I know you're going to love, and this is only part one of his journey.

He grew up in the state of hockey and carved out an impressive career, eventually earning a college roster spot at the University of Minnesota, and we're going to find out how he did it. If you think the road he had to travel was easy, well, if almost dying in a rock slide near his South St. Paul home was part of the plan, being told he'd never walk again, and if he did, it would be with a limp, I want to see how he climbed out of that challenging experience and realized his hockey dream! Dan's hockey journey is part one of the story, being the son of one of the most influential, iconic hockey individuals Minnesota has ever produced, my coach at the University of Minnesota, is part two of the story. I really enjoyed going back to a period of time on my hockey journey, that shaped me and prepared me for what I didn't know then, but would eventually end up being a 12 year professional career, and my experience at that school prepared me to take advantage of that once in a life-time hockey opportunity! So sit back, grab your preferred beverage, and let's dive into the hockey journey of Dan Woog. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the conversation and I hope you have a wonderfully productive day!!

    Nontraditional Hockey Teaching w/Barry Karn & Karn Skating Dynamics EP132

    Today is a treat for me, as I love when I can have our next guest, skating instructor extraordinaire Barry Karn on the show. He's one of our most popular guests here on the hockey journey podcast. After you're done with this episode, you can also check out numbers 12, 78 and 79 for a whole lot more of Barry Karn goodness. Recently, one of my other companies, Online Hockey Training started posting again , the Instagram, youtube and the facebook to mention a few after a good 2 year break. One category I like to highlight is the opposite hand training I have players work on and the benefits, but wanted a different, more catchy title, and then I remembered something Mr. Karn said; "disagreeable training!" I texted him, asking if he'd mind if I used the term, he proceeded to give me one of the longest texts I've ever received on disagreeable training and how it's such a critical ingredient in a kids childhood development. Right then and there, I said it's been too long, I don't know what the topic is going to be, but I need to get a little Barry Karn fix. So ladies and gentlemen, if you're ready to brave this trip with me here today, soon to be traveling through uncharted waters, well sit back, get comfy, settle in, put your tray table in it's upright and locked position, and get ready for a discussion on how one of the top skating instructor's in the world non traditionally teaches.

Continuing the Legacy But Jackie's impact on hockey didn't stop when she hung up her competitive skates. She's been inspiring the next wave of hockey talents, coaching various teams over the years and currently offering private small-group on-ice skills training.

    Finding Your 2024 Peak Performance Zone - EP120

    Welcome back to The Hockey Journey Podcast, Episode 120, "Finding Your 2024 Peak Performance Zone." I'm your host, Coach Lance Pitlick, and this episode is proudly presented by Online Hockey Training dot com. As we step into the new year, it's time for reflection, goal-setting, and navigating the challenges life throws our way. Before we dive into our conversation, a quick reminder to check out onlinehockeytraining.com for exclusive access to my extensive database of off-ice stickhandling, passing, and hockey shooting drills. It's a gift from me to you. In this episode, we take a unique approach to the typical New Year's resolutions discussion, steering away from their often futile nature. Instead, we explore strategies and techniques from impactful books that have shaped my journey over the years. We kick off with insights from "Hyperfocus: How to Be More Productive in a World of Distraction" by Chris Bailey. Delving into the importance of attention, deliberate focus, and the science behind productivity, we uncover practical ways to achieve our goals. Quotes from the book, such as "Productivity is not about cramming more into our days but doing the right thing in each moment," challenge conventional notions. Next up, we explore "The Power of Full Engagement" by James E. Loehr and Tony Schwartz. Shifting the paradigm from time management to energy management, we discuss principles like balancing energy expenditure with intermittent renewal and living life as a series of sprints. Notable quotes touch on the impact of positive rituals, hydration, and the mental equivalent of "eating junk food" through excessive television watching. We round off the episode by encouraging you to jump into 2024 with a renewed focus on your values, lessons learned, and the person you aspire to be. Whether it's improving your fitness routine, reducing screen time, or honing your hockey skills, the goal is to find your peak performance zone and live with intention.
