So You Want to Develop a College Hockey Player with Jim & Andrea McMenamin

In this episode, Jim and Andrea MacMenamin discuss the process to raise and develop two collegiate hockey players.
Eldest son, Colton, attended and played hockey for Division-III Stevenson University in Maryland, while their youngest son, Connor, just completed four years at Penn State University and has committed to play for Minnesota-Duluth for the 2023-24 season.
Both parents have a history of military service in their family and much of the discipline and regimen has been utilized in their parenting styles.
The McMenamins talk about sending Connor away to Shattuck-St. Mary's - a Minnesota boarding school - at the age of 14 before moving on to the USHL and college hockey.
They also explain the maturity of hockey players and why playing collegiately as a teenager is so difficult. Andrea details how the PeeWee Quebec Invitational was the start of grabbing the eye of regional and international scouts.
