PWHL Star Taylor Heise on Leadership, Legacy & Giving Back
Description
Ready to discover how champions are made—even when the path isn’t perfect? 🏒🔥
Taylor Heise, PWHL star and Team USA forward, joins Our Kids Play Hockey to share her incredible origin story—from picking up hockey at age 8 in a small Minnesota town to becoming the first-ever #1 overall pick in the PWHL draft.
Her journey proves you don’t need AAA teams or an early start to reach the top. Instead, it’s about confidence, creativity, and smart decision-making.
🚨 This episode is more than Taylor’s story—it’s packed with takeaways for players, parents, and coaches.
Key Takeaways:
• Why a late start in hockey doesn’t mean you’re behind
• How basketball and the arts fueled Taylor’s hockey IQ
• Lessons from playing on “B” teams (and why it helped, not hurt)
• The role of hockey sense in separating good players from great ones
• How technology like Sense Arena is giving kids an edge
Whether you’re a player chasing big dreams or a parent guiding your child’s journey, this episode will change how you see hockey development.
