04/14/24 • 63 min

Well it happens sometimes, when I do an interview with someone, the hour flys by and we don't even come close to finishing the hockey journey of the individual.

I thought I'd have to wait weeks to get back on Mr. Sloan's schedule, but I got that lane to the net and here we are a few days later, ready to tap into part 2 of his hockey journey.

Here's where we left off. He's new to the professional game, was asked to move from a life-time of playing defense, up to playing forward in the minors from time to time with the Houston Aeros. Caught the attention of the Dallas Stars brass his second year, and was offered an NHL contract at the end of that campaign. We know from part one, that he jumped on a rocket ship when he signed with the Stars, playing in their final 12 regular season games, and most of their NHL playoff games, capping off an unbelievable year by winning the Stanley cup. If you're ready to get wowed & inspired a second time with Blake Sloan, well grab the beverage of your choice and settle into part two of his story, Here we go :)

play

04/07/24 • 65 min

I can't wait to share my next guest, Blake Sloan's hockey journey, because it is truly remarkable. Let me quickly summarize it in a couple sentences. Broken ankle, broken face, high school championship, NCAA National Champion, Stanley Cup Champion, a Europe Professional League Championship, and was on the bench when one of his Michigan teammates introduced the world to the now famous, the original Michigan move and lacrosse style goal.

Though he accomplished and experienced a lot of the good stuff during his incredible hockey journey, unfortunately, the road he traveled wasn't scripted to perfection, not having any challenges or hardships along the way, where everything just came easy for him. That doesn't happen for anyone, and Mr. Sloan was no exception. If you want to hear the story of a kid, who let his character, work ethic, adaptability and never give up mentality until you get what you want, then buckle up because we are in for a wild ride.

If you're ready to get wowed & inspired, grab the beverage of your choice and settle into a story that I know you're going to love, and this is only part one of his journey. Here we go :)

In today's episode, we're not only going to explore the hardships that come with the game of hockey but also the indomitable spirit of those who rise above them. We'll take inspiration from the timeless wisdom in the pages of three remarkable books that helped guide me through tough times. I hope some of the most significant ideas I will share today can help you if you're going through a rough patch early into this winter hockey season.

Remember that adversity and hockey hardships are merely a checkpoint on the path to success. It's where character is built, where legends are born, and where the heart of the game and its players shine brightest.
