Episode Summary

Ben Cernick is back. Two thirds through his PhD in youth hockey development research, and apparently taking detailed notes every time Jamie and Derek say something he disagrees with. This episode is the result of those notes — a wide-ranging, genuinely heated debate about youth hockey development, small goalies, half ice hockey, European vs North American systems, elite selection, and whether research actually translates to the rink.
