We explore how winning culture gets built, why character can beat hype, and how new NCAA rules are changing the WHL. Matt Odette shares hard truths about scouting, tryouts, and what actually earns a roster spot and trust when games get tight.

• valuing players who lift the team, not just rack up points
• late birthdays and uneven growth shaping scouting calls
• draft labels, runways, and real meritocracy
• WHL vs NCAA shifts, NIL noise, and retention
• 20-year-olds’ changing role and roster planning
• advisors’ influence and why fit still matters most
• habits training, communication skills, and leadership
• playoff resilience, camaraderie, and culture carriers

Thank you for listening to this conversation with Matt Odette
