In episode 320 of the Glass and Out Podcast we're joined by Pete DeBoer, who will be part of Team Canada's coaching staff at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan.

With over 1,400 games behind an NHL bench, he has enjoyed a remarkable coaching journey. And while he hasn't captured the Stanley Cup YET, the level of consistency that his teams have competed at is compelling. That includes nearly 700 wins, two trips to the Stanley Cup finals, and a Memorial Cup Championship with the Kitchener Rangers.

Internationally he's represented Canada at the World Juniors, World Championships, World Cup of Hockey, and the 4 Nations Face-Off.

DeBoer has presented twice at TCS Live, including his 2023 presentation on Teaching Offensive Zone Principles. He also sat down with the Athletic's Craig Custance back in 2019 to break down one of the craziest Game 7's ever played back between the Sharks and Golden Knights.

Listen as he shares why versatility is a key trait to make Team Canada's roster, one tactical change that could be coming soon to the NHL, and advice for anyone who has been let go from their coaching role.

In episode 319 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome the focus of our new Shift Change documentary, Head Coach of the Lloydminster Lancers U18 AAA team, Chris King.

If you haven't heard the incredible story behind his switch from National Champion basketball coach to youth hockey bench boss, you can check out the first two episodes of Shift Change now on The Coaches Site.

In summary: After incredible success with the Lakeland College women's program, including being named ACAC Coach of the Year a six times and National Coach of the Year twice, King was fired based on a complaint from a disgruntled former player. The Lloydminster Lancers of the Alberta U18 AAA league were looking for a coach to resurrect the struggling program. In stepped King.

Could a career basketball coach shift to the ice and replicate the same success he enjoyed on the court?

Listen as he explains the background behind the unlikely switch, how coaching girls and boys differs, and why shinny is a critical part of developing creativity and problem solving.
