Having Some Hockey Hardships? EP112
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.
