Crazy Hockey Dads Podcast

A team, a town, a letter on the jersey and why it still matters.

This week, Scott and Jamie bring on CHD dad and coach Brad for a conversation that flips the usual script. Instead of chasing the “next level,” they ask: what if the best thing for your kid is right in front of them?

It’s not about exposure. It’s not about rankings. It’s about belonging, identity, and the kind of growth that happens when you play for more than just yourself.

In this episode:

- Why high school hockey still builds something travel often can’t
- The surprising value of not being the best kid on the team
- How town pride, student sections, and shared locker rooms shape players differently
- A reminder that the path isn’t always “up” -  sometimes it’s right where you are

Whether your kid’s wearing varsity letters or still chasing them, this one’s a grounded take on what the game still offers when you zoom out a little.
