Topher ScottHOST
And one of the relationships that I've built is with Barry Smith, who's won seven Stanley Cups, um, with Pittsburgh, with the, with the Hawks, and with the Red Wings as a coach and in player development.
Topher ScottHOST
And, um, like my education from being able to learn from people like that Um, is incredible.
Topher ScottHOST
And I think the best part about what we do with this podcast, and what we do with the Hockey Think Tank in general, is the fact that we can take what we've learned from some of these amazing people and, and share it with, with all of you, you know?

Phil OsaerHOST
It was about changes and it's, it could be a mundane thing for hockey coaches that might be listening, but it's a massive part of the game and executing and, you know, scoring those moments.
Phil OsaerHOST
That's, that's so, so cool.
