Best episodes of Hockey IQ Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Kabir Bubna

A steady coaching conversation about when to guide and when to let players lead.

Kabir Bubna's Hockey IQ appearance focuses on skill building and the practical coaching question of how much to guide, and when to let players take the wheel.

Val Hannahs

A practical hockey nutrition talk that treats hydration as part of performance prep.

The episode stays grounded in the practical side of hockey nutrition: hydration, electrolytes, sweat rate testing, and replacing what is lost so recovery starts from a better place.

Don Granato (Part #1)

A coaching conversation about motivation, process, and durable habits.

Don Granato comes across as a coach who cares less about punishment than about whether a tool actually fits the group in front of him. The episode works best when it moves from hockey tactics to motivation, endurance, and what players can carry out of hard moments.

Barry Jones

A thoughtful coaching conversation about habits, environments, and letting players find the answer.

Barry Jones moves through a wide-angle coaching conversation from Perth, Australia, and that distance gives the piece a bit of texture. It keeps returning to how coaches build habits, shape environments, and leave room for players to find better solutions.
