Episode #31 - Andy Sutton

This week, we are joined by Kingston, Ontario native, St. Michaels Buzzers alumni, former Michigan Tech Hockey star and environmental engineering major, 15 year National Hockey League veteran force where he combined a total of over 600 games played with the San Jose Sharks, Minnesota Wild, Atlanta Thrashers, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Anaheim Ducks, and Edmonton Oilers...Current hockey equipment innovator and serial entrepreneur, Owner/CEO of Verbero Hockey, Andy Sutton who dominated his NEXT SHIFT.

In this interview, (begins at 8:30) Andy shares how his realization and interests of life beyond the game in his early years paid off down the road - Hockey was never       his be-all and end-all + why he took on a mindset of throwing expectations out the window and how trusting his own ability elevated his game to a level many want, but few reach by his senior year of college hockey. This led to a wild ride of an outstanding NHL career where the thought of the end loomed from start to finish + how countless injuries spurred a passion in hockey equipment innovation that has progressed into his current role and vision with Verbero Hockey + invaluable advice for current and former players approaching or inside of life after the lights dim. Finally, we chat about chasing what DREAMS are made of and MORE. To say the least, this one was for the books. Thanks for coming on Andy!
