Welcome to Episode 13 - Inside Hockey Politics

While politics definitely exists, we want to emphasize that there's still roughly 70% pure opportunity in hockey. While that might look different for every family and player, there is a harsh reality portion of "politics" when actual player development is overlooked. That said, staying focused on consistent effort and development can still open doors—because talent and work ethic do get noticed.

With that, in this weeks episode, hosts Chris Palmer and Jeff Lerg discuss the politics in hockey, particularly focusing on how it affects youth sports and player development.

This episode highlights:

- Answering the questions surrounding how not so strong players can be rostered on top level teams.

- What hockey politics looks like beyond the youth level.

- How paying for a spot on a team could negatively affect your child.

- Personal stories witnessing hockey politics in many forms.

- How to focus on personal development rather than getting caught up in political aspects of the sport.

- The money factor in hockey.

AND A LOT MORE!
