The Hockey Family Podcast

On this episode of the Hockey Family Podcast, we were joined by the "Rocket Man," Paul Ysebaert. Ysey enjoyed a 14-year career which included time with the Devils, Red Wings, Jets, Blackhawks, and served as the first ever captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning from 1995-97. He earned the nickname "Rocket Man" in the early 90's as a fan-favorite in Detroit where he had his best statistical season with 35 goals, 40 assists, and became the first Red Wing to win the NHL Plus-Minus Award. Ysey isn't one to mince words, and we were lucky enough to ask him for the best advice he ever received for his hockey game, his financial pursuits, and for life in general.   Paul now lives in Sarasota, Florida where he and his wife Trisha are in the process of rolling out their new company, MyFunda.com.

On this episode of the Hockey Family Podcast, we were joined by Brian Gionta. "Gio" was a Stanley Cup Champion, two-time Olympian, and played over 1,000 NHL regular season games throughout his 16-year career. Brian served as captain for seven NHL seasons, as well as wore the "C" while representing team USA at the 2018 Winter Olympics. He broke into the NHL as an undersized guy, and left a lasting legacy as an amazing leader, competitor, and most importantly, family man. We were lucky enough to ask Gio for the best advice he ever received for his hockey game, his financial pursuits, and for life in general. Brian and his family now reside in his hometown of Rochester, New York, where he loves spending time with family, coaching his kid's youth sports, and supports the Boys & Girls Clubs across western New York.

After winning an NCAA National Championship during his two standout years at the University of Wisconsin, Jack went on to play over 800 games throughout a 15-year professional hockey career. Jack and his family have landed in Park City, Utah where Skills has created the Jack Skille Hockey Academy, while his wife has been building a business in real estate. Together they are focused on raising their young son, and pursuing a life filled with passion. Skills is very introspective, and on this episode we get to hear him share some lessons learned that we think young hockey players will benefit from. We hope you enjoy the episode, and don't hesitate to reach out to us at hockeywealth.com should you ever have questions.

As always, we were lucky enough to ask Holts for the best advice that he ever received for his hockey game, his financial pursuits, and for life in general. Holts grew up in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, but he and his family have found their way back to the city they called home for the first 10 years of his career. Washington is very lucky to have him, as he is one of the most thoughtful people you could meet.

On this episode of the Hockey Family Podcast, we were joined by Karl Alzner a veteran of nearly 700 regular season NHL games, and over 60 playoff games, and won the Calder Cup twice with the Hershey Bears. As always we were able to ask Karl for the best advice he ever received for his hockey game, his financial pursuits, and for life in general.   Karl and his beautiful family have been splitting time after hockey between Kelowna and Washington.
