In the final episode of Season 2 of the Hockey Factories Podcast we break down the challenges these enviable programs face, collectively and individually. We focus on the women's game, the growth in the sport and the next step it has to take. Plus, what are some of the best clips we had from Season 2? We'll throw in some great stories about Wendell Clark, Jon Cooper, Rod Brind'Amour and Athol Murray.

Bonds Beyond Hockey (S02 Ep. 4)
It's said in nearly every locker room that any team has a bond for life. We examine the bonds players and current staff at Notre Dame created in their time there. We talk about intangibles in a player and in a coaching staff that can make a massive impact on a program and five traits that a player can possess that will separate them from the pack.

Winning and Developing (S02 Ep. 3)
Do players develop through winning? Does the result even matter when it comes to a teenage player's growth? It's a great debate that we visit in Episode 3 of Season 2 of the Hockey Factories podcast with opinions from coaches in Switzerland and Sweden. We'll talk about the program's investment in the player and the age old cliche of "trusting the process," even when your results don't reveal themselves for years.

The Next Wave (S02 Ep. 2)
Episode 2 of Season 2 of the Hockey Factories podcast takes a look at development through the eyes of the player. What are they looking for in a program and what have they experienced that has helped them become the players they are? We get insight on what Draft Day is like for several 1st round picks, including a historic run by Djurgardens and we hear how a conversation with a GM changed the course of a legendary Canadian coach's career.

Science, Sleep and Peter Forsberg (S02 Ep. 1)
We kick off Season 2 of the Hockey Factories podcast by looking at how science has crept into the sports world, maybe nowhere as clearly as Zug in Switzerland. I get to fan-girl a bit and we'll talk about skills that are becoming more prevalent like read and react and another that we seem to be losing because of the overwhelming increase of individual skills training.
