2 Many Men On The Mic··20 September 2026·1h

About this episode

🏒 What makes a team dangerous down the middle: two superstar centers or four lines you can trust? Coach Drew and Coach Jared debate NHL center depth, revisit some of hockey’s greatest center tandems, and break down what separates a scorer from a complete, 200-foot player. 📋 For coaches and players, the conversation turns practical: conditioning, backchecking, supporting the puck, and building a team where everyone can take responsibility down the middle. 🥅 Plus, we walk through a 3-on-3 Royal Road game designed to get players moving, communicating, and creating scoring opportunities. 🧠 There’s also NHL contract talk, hockey trivia, and a little undefeated-pickleball swagger. 🔗 Find free drills in Coach’s Corner: [Coach’s Corner link] ⭐ Follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share this episode with a coach, player, or hockey fan who loves a good debate.
