From a longevity standpoint
All 85 NHL Players ages 30+ played at least 1 other sport growing up from ages 5-14 (100%)
Players ages 35+ have the highest average hockey start date (after they turned 5 years old) + highest average specialization age
Brett MacLean retweeted
The average NHL Player began skating and playing hockey after 4-years old & did not specialize until after the age of 14
The age of specialization most often provided by Players was 16 (mode)

When I launched Matty Talks, I knew he was a guy I wanted. We talked everything from his junior career with @Oshawa_Generals and @ErieOtters, to his time in the NHL and his post-playing career as a GM of @TheHillAcademy and advocate for @HeartandStroke.

When I was a kid, @mackattack_39 was my favourite player on the @Oshawa_Generals - I even got a signed stick from him for my birthday at a game.
His career was sadly cut short, and since then he's worked to advocate for heart health and develop the next generation of players.

It’s been a few weeks - but Matty Talks is back!
Tomorrow I’m joined by former @Oshawa_Generals, former NHLer and heart health advocate @mackattack_39!
Here’s a few rapid fire questions to get you ready:

Heard on @spittinchiclets most recent podcast w. Bill Guerin. "I believe you need to dominate your level before you move on to the next". Couldn't agree more. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Relax and enjoy the journey. YOUR journey.

PARENTS:
I had a conversation with an NHL agent yesterday and asked him how many kids he’s seen legitimately make it that had really high maintenance parents.
His answer:
“If I had 200 kids, I’d probably say 2.”
Let that sink in.

After difficult months, the @PWHPA keeps the momentum going with new NHL and broadcast partnerships, and playing at legendary Madison Square Garden in New York. We had a chat with @BrianneJenner before the games.
