You ever hear of Hockey IQ?

Well, today’s guest is someone who’s quietly building one of the most impactful development platforms in hockey right now.

Danny Heath is the founder of Project Hockey — a training system that’s changing how players actually improve.

Not just on the ice, but in how they think the game.

Because the reality is, most players don’t fail from lack of effort… they fail from lack of access.

Access to the right coaching, the right reps, and the right way to understand hockey at a deeper level. And Danny’s mission has been to close that gap.

From growing up in a non-traditional hockey market, to playing at the USHL and Division I level, to now coaching and developing players across the world — he’s taken everything he learned and built something that’s not just effective, but scalable.

Project Hockey isn’t just another training app.

It’s a shift in mindset. It’s about hockey IQ, decision-making, consistency, and giving players a real path to get better — even if they don’t have elite resources.

And what I know I’ll love about this conversation is that Danny doesn’t just talk about development — he challenges a lot of the assumptions we all have about what actually makes players improve.

So if you’re a player, parent, or coach trying to figure out what really moves the needle… this is one you’re going to want to pay attention to.

Thanks for stopping in and enjoy the episode.
