Shattuck-St. Mary's School

Thank you.

I think is because you get all those videos like in one spot, like you don't have to like search Twitter or, or search instagram for different things that we've said at different times like again that's why we categorize things for for like players and mindset monday and parent stuff and things like that and this clip that i want to show you guys i think is like a really good one as far as like one to show your kids whether you're a parent or whether you're a coach and to to preview so this is gordy stafford who we actually didn't have on the podcast too long ago but gordy um, ran the women's program at Shattuck St. Mary's for a long time.

And he also was a teacher at Shattuck St. Mary's.

And so he's had so many of these greats that have gone through, um, you know, that have gone in his classes and he seen them at the rinks and all that kind of stuff.

And, and this was, uh, this is Gordy talking about some of the best players that have come through Shattuck.

I don't know, like what, and it's funny, talk, like-

Before Shattuck-Saint Mary's, everybody talked about Notre Dame.

Yeah, and Wendell Clark still says, um, if he had his druthers, he would've sent his two boys there, but it wasn't, it wasn't [laughs] considered the place to go nowadays, whatever.

So they talk about that kind of memory, and Brind'Amour was part of it.

No, I was kidding.

I've never asked you about this before, but I saw that you spent, was it like 15 games playing for Shattuck in beautiful Faribault, Minnesota? I did.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Minnesota.

One clap from the crowd there.

First off, can you describe to our listeners what Shattuck is? I've visited it a number of times.

Growing up, I used to do some practices at their building.

I remember, and I've used this story a lot.

When I was repping, I was at Shattuck St. Mary, and I had a bunch of sticks out, and guys were using different sticks or whatever, and J.P. Parisi was like, oh, that kid switched sticks.

He's not going to be able to do his normal move in the corner or pull the puck off the board because his lie is a little bit different.

And I'm like, how – you didn't see him grab a different stick.

His name is Bradley Wang.

He comes from Shattuck-St. Mary.

He just scores in bucket loads and he's a nail gun out there.

I think he's going to be pretty good.

You'd see Tier 3 teams playing NA teams.

You'd see, you know, Tier 3 teams playing, like, a Shattuck-Saint Mary's, like, when, um, you know, they used to do that with the North Iowa Bulls in the NA 3, right? They'd do that.

With Todd would do that, right? Like, you'd s- You used to see all these things because it was good for hockey.

Then everybody got, you know, I, excuse my language, but their, their panties in a bunch because God forbid they lose, right? Oh, well-

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's down at Shattuck St. Mary's.

So Minnetonka does lose.

Is this her second year, though? She played there last year, didn't she? Gabby? No, Boss Crone.

And last fall, we kind of have had conversations with his representation and his family about what may be the best long-term fit for him to break into the league and then for him to have a long pro hockey career.

And we kind of decided that for him to grow his game at Shattuck-St. Mary's with their – 18 new prep team was a decision that we landed on that could provide him a lot of valuable ice time this year and continue to grow his game as he's a December 4th birthday.

He's not eligible for the draft for two more seasons, so he'll join us next year full-time.

Is that going to

Really solid numbers.

Shattuck St. Mary's, like I said, we talked about him after the draft and everything.

And when he signed, we talked about him.

I mean, last year, 58 games, 42 goals and 75 assists.

15 U AAA and Shattuck St. Mary's, which is the same place that Berkeley played in the COVID year.

Um, and he's from Kansas, but man, uh, that that's a hell of a hockey player.

And he's, he's a guy that really impressed me as well.
