BioSkylar Irving is one of the rising stars in professional women's hockey and a member of the Walter Cup Champion Montreal Victoire of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).
A native of Kingston, Massachusetts, Irving's passion for hockey began almost as soon as she could walk. Growing up skating on a front-yard rink built by her father, she developed a lifelong love for the game that continues to drive her success today. Known as a skilled power forward with a goal-scorer's mentality, Irving's relentless work ethic and commitment to improvement helped her rise through the Massachusetts hockey ranks before starring at Northeastern University.

She also played a pivotal role in Northeastern's championship success, earning a spot on the Hockey East All-Tournament Team in 2025.
One of the defining moments of Irving's collegiate career came during the 2025 Beanpot Championship, where she scored both Northeastern goals in a dramatic 2-1 overtime victory over Boston University. Her performance earned her Beanpot MVP honors, cementing her place among the most impactful players in the tournament's storied history.
Selected 20th overall by Montreal in the 2025 PWHL Draft, Irving quickly transitioned to the professional game and helped the Victoire capture the Walter Cup during her rookie season. While adapting to the challenges of professional hockey, she has remained grounded in the mindset that fueled her journey from a young hockey enthusiast shooting pucks in her backyard to competing against the best players in the world.
Known for her love of the game, humility, and commitment to continuous growth, Irving enters the next chapter of her career focused on establishing herself as an impact player, goal scorer, and leader in the PWHL while continuing to inspire the next generation of athletes.

We sat down with Jeff Lovecchio to discuss the mindset that has shaped both his hockey career and his life: “Give More, Be More.”
From earning a spot in the Boston Bruins organization to building one of the most impactful player development programs in St. Louis, Jeff shares the lessons he’s learned through adversity, perseverance, and purpose.
Jeff opens up about battling injuries and concussions during his professional playing career, the decision to continue playing overseas, and the transition into life after hockey. He explains how those experiences ultimately led him to create GMT (Give More Training) and GMA, where he has now helped more than 3,400 athletes maximize their potential both on and off the ice.
A major focus of the conversation is Jeff’s powerful philosophy: “Be Where Your Feet Are.” He breaks down how staying fully present helped him navigate the highs and lows of professional hockey, grow successful businesses, and create meaningful relationships along the way.
We also dive into:
Why Jeff started his own training businessThe true meaning behind “Give More, Be More.”How presence impacts athletic development and leadershipLessons learned from professional hockey and entrepreneurshipBuilding culture and community through player developmentApplying the “Be Where Your Feet Are” mindset to everyday lifeWhether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or entrepreneur, this episode is packed with insight on growth, resilience, and maximizing your potential.
BioJeff Lovecchio grew up playing hockey in St. Louis during a time when the city was not considered a serious competitor by top hockey markets. Through hard work, dedication, and self-discipline, he earned a Division I scholarship at Western Michigan University. Lovecchio notes that he achieved this despite not having the most innate ability, instead making up for a lack of natural skill with total commitment to maximizing his potential.
After three years at Western Michigan, Lovecchio signed with the Boston Bruins. While he did not appear in a regular-season NHL game, he played seven pre-season games for the Bruins and was on their roster for the playoffs. He spent three years with the Bruins' AHL team before being traded to the Florida Panthers, where he played for their AHL affiliate for a season and a half. Due to sustaining multiple concussions, Lovecchio decided to move his career overseas for the sake of his longevity. Over the next six years, he played in top leagues across Italy, Norway, Austria, and Asia. This experience living in diverse cultures was instrumental to his personal development, teaching him patience, leadership, and communication skills while navigating cultural and ideological barriers.
Three years into his professional playing career, Lovecchio founded an off-ice training company called RIPT Hockey, which has since transitioned into his full-time business, GMT (Give More Training). During the 2025/26 season, GMT expanded to operate training centers for five local youth organizations in St. Louis, serving over 3,400 players with a team of four coaches. As of 2026, over 34,000 people have used some form of his online training. Beyond training, Lovecchio frequently speaks to hockey families, which led to his career in public speaking for the general public, including his first keynote engagement for a nationwide company in 2025. Additionally, in 2025, he founded GMA (Give More Advising), a program for hockey players aged 14 and older; the initial spots sold out in 24 hours. Lovecchio operates under the philosophy of "Give More Be, you will Be More," and he is dedicated to helping others realize their potential.

The Trailblazer’s Roadmap
How do you go from starting a local 12U team to scouting for the PWHL? In this episode, we sit down with Kathy Pippy, a pioneer who helped build the Pens Elite Girls Program and founded Premier Ice Prospects (PIP). Kathy shares her "lead by example" philosophy and explains why building a lasting legacy for girls is more important than simple wins and losses.
BioKathy Pippy brings an unparalleled level of experience to the girls' game. Over 18 years ago, she started the girls' hockey program, which has evolved into Pittsburgh Penguins Elite Girls, who have won two USA Hockey National Championships. In 2010, Kathy took her efforts full-time to Selects Hockey. Under the Legacy Global Sports platform, she created some of the most elite experience and exposure opportunities for North American female hockey players, in locations such as France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Toronto, Nashville, Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Rochester.
For exposure events, Kathy brings together elite-level talent and relationships with top NCAA coaches, creating the most high-level "quality over quantity" competitive opportunities for players. Some of the experiences created include the World Selects Invitational, Hockey Hall of Fame Future Legends, Mrs. Hockey Invite, and the Music City Showcase. Over the years, hundreds of NCAA D1 & D3 players from across North America and even Europe played in the Selects program. On average, 25 girls who play on Team USA & Hockey Canada combined U18 National teams have played in Selects Hockey.
In 2020, Kathy brought her passion for promoting and growing the girls' game to Premier Ice Prospects, where she continues the sought-after showcase-style events and creates new experiences for the next generation of female players!
Pippy is an experienced scout in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), bringing three seasons of expertise at the highest level of the women’s game. She began her PWHL career with Ottawa, where she spent two seasons contributing to the organization’s scouting efforts, including playing a key role in the 2024 draft class that featured 2025 Playoff MVP, Gwyneth Philips.
Following the announcement of league expansion, Pippy joined PWHL Vancouver as Head Scout. In this role, she led scouting efforts for both the expansion draft and the 2025 PWHL Draft, helping build the foundation of the Goldeneyes’ inaugural roster.

“We’re all standing at crossroads.” The question is—what path will you choose? In this episode, Kaleb Dahlgren reflects on loss, recovery, and the mindset that helped him rebuild his life. His message is simple and powerful: you can’t always control what happens—but you can control how you respond.
Bio#1 Bestselling Author, Crossroads | Inspiring Community Leader | Health & Mental Wellness Advocate
Dr. Kaleb Dahlgren is a widely recognized expert on resilience, leadership, and health. A former elite hockey player and survivor of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy with severe injuries, he has transformed adversity into purpose, inspiring individuals and organizations worldwide. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age four, Kaleb refused to let it define him, fueling a successful hockey career and a lifelong commitment to advocacy. As the founder of Dahlgren’s Diabeauties, he empowers young athletes with type 1 diabetes while serving as a National Ambassador for two diabetes non-profits.
His impact extends beyond the diabetes community—his insights on resilience, mindset, and health have reached millions through global media, including CNN, BBC, CBC, New York Times, TSN, Maclean’s, and The Players’ Tribune. Kaleb’s memoir, Crossroads, became a #1 National Bestseller, earning praise from hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as a book that “will change your life for the better.” As an International Keynote Speaker, he has worked with industry leaders such as Google, Rogers, TD, Nestle, the NHL, and the Government of Canada, using his powerful story to inspire transformation.
Earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in June of 2025, Kaleb is completing his residency specializing in sports with a focus on nutrition, neurology, and concussion management to help elevate and optimize high-performing individuals. His journey is a testament to grit, passion, and purpose, which most recently earned him the prestigious King Charles III’s Coronation Medal (2025). Whether mentoring, speaking, in the community, or providing care, he continues to drive positive change in the lives of others.
Takeaways:
Dr. Caleb Dahlgren's experience as a survivor of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy emphasizes the importance of resilience and community support in overcoming adversity.The concept of 'Crossroads' not only reflects the literal event of the crash but also symbolizes the numerous pivotal moments in life that shape our paths and choices.Dahlgren advocates for the intrinsic value of kindness and compassion in our interactions, highlighting that the impact we leave on others is what truly defines our legacy.The podcast illustrates that personal struggles, such as dealing with type 1 diabetes or recovering from trauma, can be transformed into opportunities for growth and advocacy for others facing similar challenges.A key takeaway is the idea of continuous self-improvement, encapsulated in the principle of becoming 1% better each day, which reinforces the notion that small, consistent efforts lead to significant progress over time.Dahlgren's philosophy suggests that mental fortitude and a positive mindset are essential for success, particularly in the face of life's inevitable challenges and setbacks.

The primary focus of this podcast episode is our enlightening conversation with Anthony Morando, a distinguished strength and conditioning coach renowned for his expertise in training elite athletes, particularly within the realms of hockey and collegiate sports. Throughout our dialogue, we delve into the intricacies of athletic preparation, emphasizing the significance of tailored strength and conditioning programs that cater specifically to the unique demands of hockey players. Morando elucidates the pivotal role of consistent training and the importance of developing a holistic understanding of fitness, which transcends mere physical strength to encompass overall health and well-being.

Behind every iconic Olympic moment are thousands of quiet, unglamorous reps.
From frozen ponds in North Dakota to the Olympic podium, Monique shares a masterclass in athlete development. This episode dives into youth sports culture, multi-sport benefits, confidence under pressure, and why “betting on yourself” only works if you’ve done the work first. A must-listen for parents, coaches, and athletes who care about long-term growth—not shortcuts.
BioMonique Lamoureux-Morando is a retired American ice hockey standout best known for her clutch play on the international stage with Team USA. Raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, in a family steeped in hockey, she developed alongside her twin sister, Jocelyne, and went on to become one of the most productive and versatile players of her era—capable of impacting games as both a forward and a defender. Her rise accelerated at Shattuck–St. Mary’s in Minnesota, where she helped lead powerhouse teams to multiple national titles while posting eye-popping point totals, and then continued at the NCAA level with the University of Minnesota before transferring to the University of North Dakota to play closer to home. Early in her college career, she piled up scoring accolades and quickly established a reputation for creativity, competitiveness, and a knack for delivering in big moments.
On the world stage, Lamoureux became a fixture in the USA Hockey program, earning Olympic silver medals in 2010 and 2014 before reaching the pinnacle at the 2018 Winter Olympics—where she scored the dramatic game-tying goal in the gold-medal game, setting the stage for Team USA’s eventual victory in a shootout. She also contributed to U.S. success at top international events across multiple seasons, and she played professionally as well, including time with the Boston Blades in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. After later competing with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association—an organization advocating for a more equitable professional landscape—she retired from playing in 2021. Off the ice, she and her sister have continued to shape the sport and their community through their memoir Dare to Make History and the Lamoureux Foundation, which supports educational and extracurricular opportunities for kids in need, particularly in North Dakota. In addition to being a wife, and mother to three wonderful kids, she is also a realtor with The Elm Group in East Grand Forks.

Takeaways: The importance of maturity in a hockey player's development cannot be understated, as it encompasses both physical and mental growth. Cultivating a supportive environment for young athletes is essential for their emotional well-being and overall development. Positioning has become increasingly critical for goaltenders, as modern play emphasizes fewer athletic saves and more strategic placement. A strong team culture, fostered by mutual support and camaraderie, significantly contributes to a successful hockey season. Young athletes should focus on enjoying their sport to maintain passion and prevent burnout, rather than solely concentrating on performance metrics. Engaging in meaningful conversations with young players about their feelings helps mitigate pressure and fosters healthy emotional growth.

This podcast episode features a profound discussion with Tony Cosenza, affectionately known as Coach Tone, who possesses a wealth of experience in the health and fitness sector, particularly within the realm of youth athletic development. Coach Tone discusses his approach through Total Empowerment Training, a philosophy designed to cultivate not just superior athletes but also well-rounded individuals who are equipped to navigate life's challenges. Throughout the episode, we explore the transformative power of sports as a vehicle for personal growth and the importance of fostering a love for the process of development rather than solely fixating on outcomes.
BioTony Cosenza
Tony Cosenza, widely known as "Coach Tone," is a seasoned fitness professional with extensive experience spanning decades in the health & fitness industry.
Having most recently successfully owned and operated CrossFit TE [Total Empowerment] for nearly ten years, he made a pivotal decision to focus his energy on guiding young athletes, from beginner to competitive levels, in their pursuit of holistic success in health, fitness, training, and life.
https://www.totalempowerment.com/
In addition to owning Total Empowerment, Tony is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and an Energy Leadership Master Practitioner (ELI-MP).
Takeaways:
Tony Cosenza emphasizes that the foundation of athletic development lies in power, speed, and strength, which are critical for success in hockey. The process of training should prioritize the mental and emotional growth of young athletes alongside their physical capabilities. Engaging with young athletes requires a balance of being a mentor, coach, and friend to foster their confidence and resilience in sports. Tony advocates for the importance of off-ice training in building a strong athletic foundation, which is often neglected by both parents and young players.Links referenced in this episode:
