On this week's episode of Energy Line Nate and JSB welcomed Hockey Hall of Famer and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Jen Botterill! Jen shared incredible insights on:
The Hall of Fame Call: The overwhelming moment she got the call while on a boat with her family.
The Power of Teamwork: What being a "great teammate" means in both the locker room and the media studio.
The PWHL Boom: How the new professional league is fundamentally changing the women's game and influencing the upcoming Olympics.
Best Advice: Jen's sage advice for young athletes (and everyone else): "Don't rely on other people's confidence in you."
Nate and Julie also touched on:
The Youth Movement: The NHL's Young Guns are rewriting the record books. We discuss how this wave of talent is changing the league's culture.
The Sharks' $40K Flow: Was the San Jose Sharks' fine for skating in warmups without helmets worth the team bonding? Nate, who famously rocked the no-helmet look, weighs in on the tradition.
And Does OT Need a Fix?: With the league on pace for the most overtimes in the salary cap era, we debate how to eliminate the "reset" and the shootout.
Enjoy, and we’ll see you back here next week for more Energy Line.
