The Ride To The Rink - Be the Teammate Everyone Remembers: Lessons from Taylor Heise & Hayley Scamurra
1Description
What makes a truly great teammate? It’s not just about scoring goals or making big plays—it’s about how you treat the people around you.
In this episode of The Ride to the Rink, PWHL stars Taylor Heise and Hayley Scamurra share powerful stories about what it means to be the kind of teammate that others never forget. From offering encouragement and building confidence to accepting challenges and learning from mistakes, they remind us that being a great teammate is about character, respect, and care for others.
Taylor talks about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who lift you up and challenge you, while Hayley reflects on how different influences (both tough love and warm support) helped shape her into the player and person she is today.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why the best teammates aren’t always the most skilled
- How encouragement and honesty both make teams stronger
- The balance between surrounding yourself with cheerleaders and challengers
- Why confidence in others is just as important as confidence in yourself
- The simple ways you can make a teammate’s day—on or off the ice
No matter your age or skill level, this episode is a reminder: you don’t need hockey skills to be a great teammate—you just need to care.
