Glass and Out

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nHM4g5BPUlk In Episode 356 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome one of the most fascinating guests in the show history: NASCAR pit crew coach Shaun Peet. You may not be familiar with Peet, so let us introduce you. In addition to his role as a pit crew coach, his résumé includes stints as a professional hockey enforcer, a jackman on a NASCAR pit crew, and a keynote speaker for some of the world's top-performing companies. He's also the co-author of 12 Second Culture, alongside fellow pit crew coach Mike Metcalf. The title refers to the goal of getting a NASCAR car back on the track in just 12 seconds during a pit stop. Once you learn everything that happens in those 12 seconds, it will blow your mind. The principles in the book are rooted in Peet's lived experience and what he's seen work. He also provides a framework for understanding how people interact in team environments, giving coaches and leaders the language to identify key moments and interactions and intentionally build them into their own programs and cultures.  You can check out the book here. Listen as Peet shares why the primary goal of every leader should be to inspire human brilliance, why failure isn't the monster under the bed, and why great leaders are always evolving.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MaRWyFLFrfQ In Episode 355 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome Canadian and women's hockey legend Cassie Campbell-Pascall. The former captain of Team Canada and two-time Olympic gold medallist wears a lot of hats these days. These include roles as a special advisor for the PWHL, an analyst for NHL on ESPN, and, most recently, an author. Her new book, titled Just a Girl, is a memoir that paints a relatable picture of a kid who falls in love with the game and aspires to play at the highest level possible, all while facing the challenge of pursuing a sport without a clear path for talented and aspiring female players. You can check out the book here. One of the stats that stands out in the book is that, in 1990, when the first Women's World Hockey Championships were held, there were only about 7,000 female players in all of Canada. Today, there are over 120,000 female players in Canada. With only 7,000 female participants in a country where hockey is part of our DNA, it really speaks to how Campbell-Pascall and other female players of her generation had to grow the game through sheer will and determination. Listen as she shares how her love and passion for the game drove her to incredible heights, the key lessons she learned as captain of Team Canada, and the biggest issues facing youth hockey today.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DnfvzaIsdyI In Episode 354 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by Cleveland Monsters Head Coach Nick Bootland. He is currently in his first season at the helm of the Cleveland Monsters, the AHL affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets. His appointment comes after four seasons and two Calder Cup Championships in Hershey as an assistant coach on Todd Nelson's staff, and 14 seasons leading the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL. We always want to get to the goal faster. It's human nature. But patience is a virtue. So is trusting that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Bootland is proof of that. Listen as he shares why coaching is about leading with authenticity, the SCCRR process for teaching, and how to stay calm on the bench in times of stress.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/f6-3hSUAFPw In Episode 353 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome John Lind, the Swedish Ice Hockey Association's Director of Education and Research. Sweden has approximately 62,000 registered hockey players, and last season, there were 109 Swedish-born players in the National Hockey League. So, on a per-capita basis, Sweden produces one NHL player for every 568 registered players. By contrast, the United States produces one NHL player for every 1,682 registered players, while Canada produces one NHL player for every 1,073 registered players. This data certainly suggests that Sweden has a secret sauce when it comes to developing elite hockey talent. Lind has been a central figure in shaping Sweden's player development methodology, and as you're about to hear, many of the country's practices are outside the box but have resulted in arguably the most productive development model in our sport. Listen as he shares the importance of coaching effort over outcome, how to evaluate and improve a player's ability to scan, and Sweden's model for youth development through small ice.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cWKjSjTEdC0 In Episode 352 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by Head Coach of the reigning Walter Cup champions, Kori Cheverie. As one of the top female coaches in all of hockey, Cheverie has served as head coach of the PWHL's Montréal Victoire for all three seasons of the league's existence, winning the Walter Cup last season and earning PWHL Coach of the Year honours in 2024-25 after guiding the Victoire to first place in the regular-season standings. Just two weeks ago, it was announced that Cheverie will be the Head Coach of Team Canada for the upcoming Women's World Championship, taking place November 6-16 in Denmark. She has represented Canada internationally on several occasions, winning gold medals as an assistant coach at the IIHF Women's World Championship in 2021, 2022 and 2024, in addition to the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, and silver medals at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games and the Women's Worlds in 2023 and 2025.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pHk81vzOFdY In Episode 351 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome back reigning Stanley Cup champion Rod Brind'Amour. The Hurricanes' eight-year journey to a championship could best be described with one word: conviction. In his first seven seasons as the Head Coach, the Canes qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs each season. This included advancing past the first round on six occasions, including three trips to the Eastern Conference Final. Despite not reaching the ultimate goal, owner Tom Dundon elected to stay the course with GM Erik Tulsky and Rod Brind'Amour's vision for a relentless style of play that required every player to buy into the Hurricanes' blue-collar culture. The reward: a Stanley Cup Championship in Year Eight. Listen as he shares how a cinder block became a symbol for a Cup victory, how to implement a high-intensity style of play, and why off-the-puck play is key to trusting young players.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/N0o3zgB5SH0 In Episode 350 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we're joined by the new Head Coach of the Edmonton Oilers, Mike Babcock. While Babcock is one of the most polarising figures in the game, he's also one of the most accomplished coaches in hockey history. He is currently the only coach in the Triple Gold Club, having won a Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, and a World Championship gold. Babcock made his NHL debut behind the bench of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2002 and took the team to the Stanley Cup Final in his first season. In 2005, he joined the Detroit Red Wings, where over 10 seasons he won the Stanley Cup in 2008. He later coached the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2015 to 2019, helping rebuild the franchise around a young core. You can check out his 2023 TCS Live interview with Elliotte Friedman, where he shares memories from the 2010 gold medal victory for Team Canada. Listen as he shares why fun is the number one goal this year for the Oilers, why player roles are crucial for team structure, and the importance of being direct in your communication.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-cWRJds5aRE We're back! We kick off the 10th season of Glass and Out with episode 348, featuring our Glen Gulutzan interview from TCS Live 2026. Gulutzan is the Head Coach of the Dallas Stars, and in his second tour of duty with the organization. He's previously been the Head Coach of the Calgary Flames and also spent time as an assistant coach in Vancouver and Edmonton. Overall, he's enjoyed a remarkable career, especially considering that he got his start in coaching as a player assistant with the Fresno Falcons of the now defunct West Coast Hockey League. The focus of the talk was on practice design, but he also offers some amazing stories and lessons he's collected over his career. We brought a white board onto the stage so he could share some drills and tactics in real time with the audience, so we highly recommend heading on over to The Coaches Site so you watch the episode and add the drills to your coaching library. Listen as he shares the importance of starting practice with pace, drills to develop a power play framework, and why the number one goal for youth coaches should be development.

In Episode 347, the season finale of the Glass and Out Podcast, we revisit our conversation with the head coach of the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes, Rod Brind'Amour. Back in 2019, Brind'Amour was just in his second season as head coach of Carolina and fresh off leading a young Canes team to its first playoff appearance in nine seasons. Fast forward to today, and he is now a Stanley Cup champion as both a player and a coach. This was one of our favourite episodes of all time, and we thought it was the perfect way to honour Brind'Amour and his incredible journey. A special thank you to everyone who tuned in this season. We can't wait to get back at it in September for Season 10! Listen as he shares why it's important to think like a player as a coach, how to get creative when delivering your message, and why coaches should avoid looking in the rearview mirror.
