In Episode 342 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome the head coach of the Minnesota Class A State Champions, Jay Hardwick.
He just wrapped up his 14th season with Warroad High School, which concluded with the fifth championship in program history.
In addition, Hardwick serves as the Hockey Director of Warroad Youth Hockey. He eats, breathes, and sleeps Warroad hockey.
Warroad is a community of roughly 1,800 residents in northern Minnesota. In a given year, about 200 of those residents are kids playing in the local youth association. If one player were to come out of Warroad and make it to the NHL, that alone would defy the odds. But not only has the community produced a number of NHL players, including TJ Oshie and Brock Nelson, it has also produced seven Olympians between the U.S. men's and women's national teams.
Statistically, Warroad is a unicorn. As a result, it has earned the moniker "Hockeytown USA."
Listen as he shares the journey to a state championship, his experience growing up in Warroad, and how he's paying it forward today.

In Episode 341 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by the Goaltending Development Coach for the Vancouver Canucks, Ian Clark.
Clark has been with the Canucks since the 2019-20 season and previously served as the club's goaltending coach from 2002-2010. In between, he was a member of the coaching staff with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
During his time in the NHL, he has mentored the likes of Roberto Luongo, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Thatcher Demko, to name a few.
He also operated a successful goalie school for several decades, helping launch the careers of many other high-profile puck stoppers.
Clark has also launched the From The Crease app. FTC provides both goalies and coaches with a top-to-bottom playbook for developing all aspects of the position. Users are given video explanations of drills, the ability to track their progress, and a progression-based curriculum that keeps aspiring goalies focused on the right details at the right stage of their development.
You can check out the app here.
Listen as he shares why we need to train goalies to handle pressure, why coaching shouldn't follow a template, and his seven ingredients for great goaltending.

In episode 338 of the Glass and Out Podcast, Coachella Valley Firebirds assistant coach Stu Bickel stops by to chat.
Bickel is a great example of a coach who has taken all the information he was fed as a player, evolved it, and made it his own as he has embarked on his coaching journey.
Bickel grew up just outside of Minneapolis and would go on to star for Eden Prairie High School. After two seasons in the USHL, he joined his hometown University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, but after one season, as an undrafted free agent, he decided to bet on himself and make the jump into professional hockey. The move paid off, as in his fourth season, he appeared in 69 games with the New York Rangers.
While not formally a coach at this stage, we sense that the first player he ever coached was himself. He needed to define his strengths and weaknesses and evolve his game into one that would enable him to contribute on a nightly basis in the National Hockey League.
That is now a job he's doing full-time today, developing defencemen for the NHL's Seattle Kraken, the parent club of the Firebirds.
Listen as he shares his process for improving defencemen, the importance of being good on the breakout, and the power of video as a teaching tool.
