概要

 Welcome to Sharpening Your Edge — the ultimate deep dive into the world of hockey, where we go beyond the ice. Chuck Verdolino, founder and lead instructor at CV3 Hockey Development. I played Tier 1 hockey through 18 on Long Island, competed at the USA Hockey Select 15 National Camp, captained my high school team to a New York State Championship appearance, and later served as a GM in pro hockey. Now, I’m bringing that lifetime of experience to the mic. Erik Melanson, a recently retired Marine Corps officer. I spent the majority of my distinguished military career serving in special operations, where I developed and applied extensive leadership skills in high-stakes, high-performance environments. A lifelong hockey player who grew up on the rinks of Boston, I now bring that same discipline, resilience, and team-first mentality to the sport as a coach for the Philadelphia Little Flyers and as a player for the USA Warriors. My unique blend of elite military experience and deep hockey roots offers a rare perspective on performance, leadership, and the culture of the game. As co-hosts with a passion for the game, we sit down and bring you candid conversations with elite coaches, performance specialists, and hockey minds at every level to dig into what truly drives development — from mindset and leadership to training, nutrition, and recovery.Copyright 2026 CV3 ホッケー 心理学 心理学・心の健康 衛生・健康的な生活

    "We're All Survivors of Something-- Choose the Harder Path, That's Where Growth Lives." A Conversation with Dr. Kaleb Dahlgren
    2026/03/30
    “We’re all standing at crossroads.” The question is—what path will you choose? In this episode, Kaleb Dahlgren reflects on loss, recovery, and the mindset that helped him rebuild his life. His message is simple and powerful: you can’t always control what happens—but you can control how you respond.Bio#1 Bestselling Author, Crossroads | Inspiring Community Leader | Health & Mental Wellness AdvocateDr. Kaleb Dahlgren is a widely recognized expert on resilience, leadership, and health. A former elite hockey player and survivor of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy with severe injuries, he has transformed adversity into purpose, inspiring individuals and organizations worldwide. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age four, Kaleb refused to let it define him, fueling a successful hockey career and a lifelong commitment to advocacy. As the founder of Dahlgren’s Diabeauties, he empowers young athletes with type 1 diabetes while serving as a National Ambassador for two diabetes non-profits.His impact extends beyond the diabetes community—his insights on resilience, mindset, and health have reached millions through global media, including CNN, BBC, CBC, New York Times, TSN, Maclean’s, and The Players’ Tribune. Kaleb’s memoir, Crossroads, became a #1 National Bestseller, earning praise from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as a book that “will change your life for the better.” As an International Keynote Speaker, he has worked with industry leaders such as Google, Rogers, TD, Nestle, the NHL, and the Government of Canada, using his powerful story to inspire transformation.Earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in June of 2025, Kaleb is completing his residency specializing in sports with a focus on nutrition, neurology, and concussion management to help elevate and optimize high-performing individuals. His journey is a testament to grit, passion, and purpose, which most recently earned him the prestigious King Charles III’s Coronation Medal (2025). Whether mentoring, speaking, in the community, or providing care, he continues to drive positive change in the lives of others.Takeaways:Dr. Caleb Dahlgren's experience as a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy emphasizes the importance of resilience and community support in overcoming adversity.The concept of 'Crossroads' not only reflects the literal event of the crash but also symbolizes the numerous pivotal moments in life that shape our paths and choices.Dahlgren advocates for the intrinsic value of kindness and compassion in our interactions, highlighting that the impact we leave on others is what truly defines our legacy.The podcast illustrates that personal struggles, such as dealing with type 1 diabetes or recovering from trauma, can be transformed into opportunities for growth and advocacy for others facing similar challenges.A key takeaway is the idea of continuous self-improvement, encapsulated in the principle of becoming 1% better each day, which reinforces the notion that small, consistent efforts lead to significant progress over time.Dahlgren's philosophy suggests that mental fortitude and a positive mindset are essential for success, particularly in the face of life's inevitable challenges and setbacks.This episode is proudly sponsored byPlay It Again Sports NewarkWhen the ice calls, you answer.
