Why rushing hockey is the fastest way to get it wrong.
Scott and Jamie sit down with Sadie Lundquist - Minnesota-grown, former college and pro player, and now Deputy Director of College Hockey, Inc. - to talk about what development looks like when you don’t rush it. From growing up in Cloquet and playing with her brothers to choosing fit over flash in college, Sadie brings lived experience and real data to a conversation full of unnecessary panic.
In this episode:
- Growing up in Minnesota’s community model without early pressure or rankings
- Choosing Bemidji State to build something instead of chasing prestige
- How playing with boys, staying multi-sport, and avoiding comparison builds confidence
Grounded, honest, and calming in the best way - this episode is a reset for any parent wondering if their kid is “behind.”
