Hosted by coaches and former board members Drew Acree and Jared Balint, the show shines a light on the full community: elite players, non-elite players, new coaches, committed parents (especially moms), and everyone working behind the scenes to grow the game.We’re not here to lecture—we’re here to listen, share, and support. Drew and Jared bring their real-life experiences to help others navigate the ups and downs of the youth hockey season. We’re here to grow the game, have some fun and remind our listeners that: “Hockey is more fun when you get better at it” That goes for players, parents, coaches, and refs alike.

    Why are hockey players — including NHLers — getting hooked on Padel and pickleball? Ryan explains how hand-eye coordination, quick-twitch movement, communication, control, reaction time and rapid transitions between offense and defense make these sports a surprisingly natural complement to hockey.
    Then Grant “The Killer” Salsman puts Drew and Jared through Blues vs. Red Wings Hockey Trivia — complete with questionable answers, an official challenge, some ChatGPT slander, overtime and, finally, a long-awaited victory.
    With September around the corner, the guys also talk about building a team identity, defining what a “good shift” actually means, making practices competitive without forgetting the fun, and why sometimes good coaching means hiding the vegetables in the ice cream.
    Plus, we tease next week’s guests: The Hockey Guys — and a big new sponsorship announcement aimed squarely at hockey families.

    USA Hockey's new Development League is coming in 2027–28, with 32 programs, 15U and 17U teams and an emphasis on development, training and creating additional pathways toward junior and college hockey.
    But Drew and Jared want to look at it from a different perspective: What could it mean for the 90% of youth hockey players competing at the A, B and C levels?
    Could fewer games and a greater emphasis on development eventually trickle down throughout youth hockey? Could it reduce some of the pressure to chase letters, tournaments and exposure at younger ages? Or are we simply creating another rung on the youth hockey ladder — and another reason for parents to worry that their kid is falling behind?
    We don't pretend to have all the answers. That's why we're excited to welcome USA Hockey's Bob Mancini next monthto explain the Development League, its goals and what USA Hockey hopes it can accomplish.
    Then it's Drill Draw presented by Drift Hockey, featuring a 4v2/4v3 power-play concepts game, followed by something considerably less educational: Stupid Hockey Tricks — Pickleball Edition!
    A huge thank you to our presenting sponsor, Vantage Credit Union, including their monthly chance to win a $100 Pure Hockey gift card.

    What should a hockey parent actually say on the ride home from the rink?
    This week, Drew and Jared welcome Ken Martell, USA Hockey Senior Director of Player and Coach Development, for a conversation about one of the most important—and sometimes complicated—relationships in youth hockey: the player, the parent and the coach.
    Ken talks about avoiding “car coaching,” helping kids learn to advocate for themselves, why coaches should overcommunicate, the pressure created by the cost of youth hockey, and why the best youth coaches aren't necessarily the ones teaching the fanciest systems—they're the ones helping kids fall in love with the game.
    One of our favorite takeaways from Ken:
    “Learning is done by the learner, not to the learner.”
    We also put Ken on the whiteboard for a new Drill Draw featuring puck retrieval, pressure, awareness and decision-making—quickly dubbed “Martell’s Mayhem.”
    Plus: Olympic goalie trivia, Patrick Kane and JVR, Drew's looming mountains, and our upcoming live acoustic gig at Fallon’s.
    And don't forget: Vantage Credit Union is giving away a $100 Pure Hockey gift card every month! Listen for details on how to enter.
