This one’s got range. Scott and Jamie start with NHL playoff chatter, heroes, heartbreaks, and teams that can’t close before flipping the switch to talk about their own kids, and what it really feels like trying to coach effort without crushing spirit.

They get brutally honest about dad guilt, delivery mistakes, and the endless tug-of-war between pushing your kid and just letting them love the game. Then it’s on to managers: the unsung heroes (or cautionary tales) of spring hockey, complete with advice, praise, and a few absolute hotel disasters that’ll make you book your own room next season.

It’s playoff season, parenting season, and stress season all in one. Pack snacks.

It’s NHL playoff time, but off the ice, the real matchups are happening between parents and coaches. Scott and Jamie talk team turnover, how to handle your kid’s role without losing your mind, and why smart communication can make or break a season.

They share an epic youth hockey story, offer hard-earned advice on managing expectations, and remind everyone: don’t ruin it for your kid. Plus, their Stanley Cup picks.

Tryouts are over, spring hockey’s heating up, and some parents are losing their minds. Scott and Jamie touch on Dominic’s tryouts, the awkward exit of good teammates and parent’s who didn’t make the cut, and the chaos that reminds everyone why hockey season is never really over.
