"I think, honestly, just for me, just spreading the word, letting people know about this great brand because, like I said, the brand, the brand's been around for almost a decade."
Ever wondered what happens when the hockey skates come off for good? Brady Leavold sits down with retired NHL defenseman Andy Sutton in this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back'. Sutton, who spent 13 years on the ice, opens up about his journey from professional athlete to successful entrepreneur.
Now the owner of Verbero Hockey, dubbed 'The Bugatti of Hockey', Sutton shares his passion for creating top-tier equipment like the lightest stick on the market and a one-piece full Japanese carbon skate. But it’s not all business talk. Sutton and Leavold dive into the often-overlooked struggles athletes face when they hang up their jerseys. They discuss the mental and emotional hurdles, including substance abuse, that can come with leaving the sport.
Sutton emphasizes the importance of focusing on the small things, both in hockey and in life, to make a big impact. Leavold also reflects on his own rollercoaster of experiences, finding solace and support through his podcast. The episode wraps up with a nod to Verbero Hockey's innovative products and a call for listeners to join the Team Issued Ltd. giveaways.
