If you don't have that meaning and purpose and a reason to be, life can get pretty hard, and it doesn't seem like it's that difficult for Matthew Meinzer.
Have you ever imagined playing hockey at the southernmost tip of the world? In this fascinating episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', Brady Leavold chats with Matthew Meinzer, a man who's making waves in the hockey world from an unexpected corner of the globe. Born in Buffalo, NY, Meinzer was practically raised on skates.
After honing his skills as a development coach in New York City, he took an adventurous leap, heading to Ecuador to spread the love of hockey. But his journey didn't stop there. Matthew eventually moved to Ushuaia, Argentina, home to the only full-sized ice rink in South America. Without a job or even a place to stay, he started coaching local kids and took on the challenge of producing hockey sticks locally to cut down on costs.
Now, Meinzer runs the first and only hockey stick factory in South America, proving that passion and perseverance can break any barrier. This episode is a testament to how far love for a sport can take you, both geographically and personally. Tune in to hear Matthew's incredible story of determination, innovation, and community-building.
