I was training at Burmese Winter club with Kai Hainonin, who was my trainer at the time. You know when the game really got hard or this or that. I mean that can kill you, because again you're drafting on the knowledge you know at the current time and you do the best job you can.
Ever wondered what it takes to make it in junior hockey and beyond? Brady Leavold sits down with Brad McEwen, a name synonymous with Canadian hockey excellence, in this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back'. With over three decades in the game, McEwen has worn many hats—coach, GM, scout, and now Head Scout for Team Canada's World Junior Program. His insights into the world of junior hockey are as deep as they are enlightening.
But this episode isn't just a masterclass in hockey strategy and player development. It's also a heartfelt exploration of resilience and recovery. Leavold opens up about his own battles with addiction, homelessness, and incarceration, sharing how he turned his life around with the help of mentors like Sheldon Kennedy and Brent Sopel. Their stories remind us that behind every athlete is a human being facing real-life challenges.
McEwen's perspective on the mental health pressures young players face today adds another layer of depth to the conversation. If you're interested in the intersection of sports, mental health, and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a mix of hockey wisdom and life lessons that go far beyond the rink.
