We welcome our this week's guest, Olaf Kolzig, of the Washington Capitals.  

"Olie the Goalie" as he was known, is a South African born, German goalie with an impressive NHL career. Ollie spills the beans on his journey to winning the Vezina Trophy in 2000, and his experiences playing and coaching for the Stanley Cup.

Taking a more serious turn, we explore the journey of young athletes. We outline the unique challenges they encounter, such as the immense pressure of being drafted at a young age and transitioning from junior leagues to professional ones. Through sharing personal experiences and anecdotes, we emphasize the importance of mental toughness and a positive outlook for making it in highly competitive sports like the NHL. Moving on, we address the anticipation surrounding the All-Star games and the upcoming NHL season, including the sheer thrill and pressure that comes with playing in Toronto, the mecca of hockey.

Closing out our discussion, we touch on the admirable work of the Carson Kolzig Foundation, and its efforts to fund an autism center, a cause close to our hearts. Then, we shift the spotlight back to Olaf, our guest, for an insightful interview. We explore his career, his love for golf and hockey, and the life rules he swears by. So, buckle up for an exhilarating mix of sports, personal stories, and inspiring conversations. Join us for this riveting discussion that is sure to offer a fresh perspective on sports and the stories behind the athletes we love.
