Ryan Pinder sits down with three coaches — Bert Gilling (MRU Cougars), Luke Strand (Minnesota State), and Fred Harbinson (Penticton Vees) — for one-on-one conversations about the changing landscape of hockey prospects.

With new pathways available, the traditional routes to the pros are shifting. From the WHL to NCAA, to the rise of NIL deals and cases like Gavin McKenna heading to Penn State, the future for young players is evolving fast. Each coach shares their unique perspective on what these changes mean for prospects, programs, and the game of hockey itself.
