In this episode, Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley sit down with Marty “Dawg Father” Richardson, founder and CEO of Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation - a charity built to help hockey players and their families in times of need. What began as a simple act of “passing the hat” to support teammates battling cancer has grown into a powerful nonprofit helping the local hockey community in Colorado and beyond. Hear how Jared Bednar, Milan Hejduk, and more NHL pros have become advocates for Dawg Nation.

Marty shares the inspiring origin story of Dawg Nation, its mission to empower players of all abilities, and the role of the hockey community in building hope, confidence, and resilience. From personal stories to the foundation’s far-reaching impact, this conversation is a reminder of how the game extends far beyond the ice.
