This is why you invest in non-traditional markets. It might take time, but the game grows.

Becoming a dad has pushed me to take a real audit of my priorities. The great opportunities, the not so great ones, the bag chasing, the work I was not fully invested in. All of it. I want my son to grow up going after his dreams, and that starts with me.
With that said, I am officially pursuing a position in Hockey Operations.
My experience in the game spans many levels. I have contributed to scouting staffs in the WHL and USHL, supported NCAA and NHL athletes through managing Hockey Operations and Brand Partnerships with @nilsonsports, and coached youth hockey in California from grassroots to travel. On the business side, I co founded iKONIC, where we coach and represent professional and college athletes in real estate. These roles have given me a dynamic understanding of the game on and off the ice.
Over the past few months I have also been building a modern scouting framework tailored for NCAA Division 1 hockey designed to give programs a real competitive edge in a landscape that changes on the fly. The work behind it has reinforced my passion for scouting and strengthened my drive to be in the decision making trenches with a hockey staff.
If you are building a staff or looking for someone who brings passion, creativity, and work ethic, I am looking forward to discussing my Resume and references.
See you at the rinks.

Simple but Better
❌ Stop telling players to execute an action under the euphemism of “technical drill.”
✔️ Start asking your players to solve challenges by executing a technical action.
Massive development difference.

Why do I believe in training in a high pressure environment? Why do I add constraints that make concepts more difficult? Why do I encourage players to be creative under pressure?
This clip. That's why. Now tell me why you would stickhandle through tools all summer instead.

Saw a U18 session before my own skate last night here in Edmonton. 1 instructor, ice littered with devices and 25 skaters running mindless reps for an hour. Hockey is expensive enough these days and as skills instructors/coaches, we need to provide far more value than this…
RT @espn: Zach Werenski and Dylan Larkin bought Johnny Gaudreau's children on the ice for their gold medal photo ❤️ 🥇 …

The van scene from Home Alone was shot at 4:30 AM and was completely improvised and it ended up being one of the funniest scenes in the movie.
Two Canadian comedy icons.
Rest in peace, Catherine O'Hara. Rest in peace, John Candy.
Kane was WELL known even prior to London as a youth player, and this was the age before social media, to boot. Kane was never remotely overlooked, to the OP’s point here.
Buccigross said Patrick Kane was "overlooked" as a teenager
My brother in Christ, he played for the London Knights in the OHL, went first overall in the draft and won a Cup and silver medal three years later. He was not overlooked in the slightest😂

UPDATE: Late last week, I was unexpectedly relieved of my duties as the Voice of the Omaha Lancers ahead of the 2025–26 season. While I am deeply saddened not to be a part of the team, I wish them the best. I will be back behind a headset in no time, so stay tuned for updates!

Does working on technique make you a bad coach?
Of course not!
But getting stuck on “perfect technique” while ignoring performance outcomes… that’s where the trouble starts.
Skill is about solving problems, not just moving pretty.

As the power dynamics shift to the players
The coaches start to learn what 'coaching' actually is
Welcome to reality
Where user experience matters
Where energy matters

Why Opposed Training? ✏️
▪️OPPONENTS are a critical reference point that determine another critical reference point - SPACE.
▪️ Opponents also dictate the positioning of yet another reference point: TEAMATES.
