Plus, we tackle hot audience questions—Meaghan’s figure skating background, Ashley’s experience with backlash in public business, and whether she felt the pressure to put her son in hockey (the Canadian way).

This week, Meaghan and Ashley dive into the power of goal setting—both in hockey and in life. What’s more important: the goals you score on the ice or the ones you set for yourself? Can you balance both?

We explore the structure of SMART goals, the unpredictability of hockey, and how young players often measure success by stats rather than teamwork. Ashely shares a story about kids defining the “best player” by goal count, sparking a deeper conversation about honoring every position on the ice. Plus, Ashley introduces the A to E Goal-Setting Model, breaking down the journey from Action Plan to Evolution.

We’ll also talk about intention, visualization, and accountability—because setting goals isn’t just about achievement, it’s about growth. And in our Gloves Off moment: Do you set goals with your players—on and off the ice? And what keeps you accountable to your own? Let’s talk strategy, mindset, and leveling up in every aspect of life!

From breaking stereotypes to supporting the next generation, we’re talking about girls in hockey, the challenges they’ve faced, and the progress being made. We’ll share personal stories—from being sidelined as young girls to watching our daughters step onto the ice today.

Plus, we highlight how the NHL, local leagues, and organizations are investing in the future of women’s hockey. And in our Gloves Off moment, we ask: Why did it take so long for girls’ hockey to take center stage? Let’s celebrate, reflect, and push forward—because when she wants to play, let her!
