🏒 Want to score more goals? It might be simpler—and tougher—than you think.

On this episode of The Ride to the Rink, we’re joined by former NHLer and Stanley Cup Champion Mike Knuble, a player who made a career out of doing the hard things: going to the net, battling in tough areas, and evolving his game year after year.

Mike shares a powerful mindset shift that every young player needs to hear: if you want more goals, you have to go where the goals actually happen.

💥 In this episode, we cover:

Why standing on the perimeter is killing your scoring chances
The “shark mentality” that helps players find more goals
How to embrace different roles on a team
Why self-awareness is the key to long-term development
The importance of practicing what you’re NOT good at
What it really means to take ownership of your hockey journey

🔥 One of the biggest takeaways? Growth isn’t about doing what’s easy—it’s about attacking your weaknesses and leaning into discomfort.

Whether you’re a player trying to score more, earn more ice time, or just become a more complete athlete, this episode delivers simple, actionable advice you can use today.

🎯 Take this mindset with you to the rink—and see what changes.
