    EPISODE 67 : BRIJESH PATEL

    BE COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE. For more than 25 years, Brijesh “Coach B” Patel has built athletes, coaches, and cultures around one belief: real growth starts outside your comfort zone. As Associate Athletic Director and Director of Athletic Performance at Quinnipiac University, Coach B has helped build a championship-level environment centered on preparation, accountability, relationships, and developing the person before the athlete. In 2024, he was named the NSCA Collegiate Coach of the Year. On this episode of Locker Room Life, Coach B dives into leadership, embracing adversity, setting standards, and why getting comfortable being uncomfortable can change the trajectory of your life. This one is bigger than performance. It’s about becoming better. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    EPISODE 66 : CAMERON KORPI

    The work doesn’t stop when things don’t go your way. That’s when it matters most. Cameron Korpi joins Locker Room Life to talk about the journey of a goaltender who has continued to work, adapt and bet on himself through every stage of his career. From AAA hockey to the NTDP, NAHL, four seasons of USHL experience, the University of Michigan and now Union College, Cameron’s path has been built through experience, adversity and a relentless commitment to getting better. We dive into the mentality required to play one of the toughest positions in sports. The pressure of being the last line of defense. Learning how to respond after a bad game. Staying confident when opportunities change. And understanding that development is rarely a straight line. After his freshman season at Michigan, Cameron made the decision to transfer to Union. He responded by starting 26 games, winning 15, recording five shutouts and setting Union’s Division I era program record with a 160:06 shutout streak. That doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from work. Preparation. Patience. Self belief. And showing up every single day when nobody is watching. Cameron’s story is a reminder that your path can change without your goal changing. Keep working. Keep competing. Keep believing. Because sometimes the opportunity you’ve been waiting for comes after you’ve proven you’re willing to keep going without it.

    EPISODE 65 : NATE MCBRAYER

    Nate McBrayer joins Locker Room Life to talk about the journey behind getting to where he is today and the years of work, sacrifice and dedication that people don’t always see. Growing up in Ohio, Nate developed a love for the game early. But wanting something and earning it are two completely different things. We dive into what it took to keep climbing, leaving home, competing at higher levels, learning through adversity, developing confidence in his game and ultimately earning the opportunity to come back home and wear the Ohio State sweater. Nate talks about the importance of putting in the work when nobody is watching, staying committed to your development, trusting yourself through the ups and downs and understanding that success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s about embracing where you come from while refusing to let where you are today determine where you can go tomorrow. No shortcuts. No guarantees. Just work, belief and a commitment to getting better every single day. Ohio raised. Ohio developed. Ohio State Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    EPISODE 64 : LUCAS VAN VLIET

    For Lucas Van Vliet, the mission is simple: focus on becoming the best version of yourself every single day. Not worrying about where everyone else is.
 Not chasing somebody else’s timeline.
 Not letting the outside noise dictate the work. It’s about dedication to the process, belief in yourself, and showing up every day with the intention to improve. The biggest results don’t happen overnight. They’re built through the days nobody sees—the extra work, the setbacks, the sacrifices, and the decision to keep pushing when it would be easier not to. Believe in where you’re going. Stay committed to who you’re becoming. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    EPISODE 63 : MIKE YOUNG

    Mike Young knows what it means to bet on yourself. Comedian. Writer. Director. Producer. But behind every title is a story built on the grind, adversity, unwavering belief, and the decision to keep going when the path wasn’t guaranteed. Mike talks about believing he could turn comedy into a career long before the success showed up — trusting his instincts, staying committed to his passion, and having the self-belief to push through the difficult moments. But one of the biggest lessons? Don’t get so focused on what’s next that you forget to enjoy where you are. Success is fun. The grind is real. But life gets even better when you stop, live in the moment, appreciate the journey, and enjoy the people and experiences along the way. Listen and learn. Life ain’t easy — but it’s all worth it.

    EPISODE 62 : NOAH POWELL

    Noah Powell’s journey was never supposed to be easy. Adversity. Injuries. Setbacks. Doubt. At almost every stop, something stood in the way. But Noah kept finding a way forward. After going undrafted in 2023, he came back and exploded for 43 goals in the USHL, leading the league and forcing the hockey world to take notice. Then came the moment he had been chasing: hearing his name called by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2024 NHL Draft. But getting drafted wasn’t the finish line. The road continued through Ohio State, Oshawa, Arizona State and ultimately into professional hockey with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. In March 2026, Powell signed his three-year entry-level contract with Philadelphia, officially opening the next chapter. This story isn’t just about talent. It’s about PERSEVERANCE. DEDICATION. GRIT. Getting knocked down. Getting hurt. Getting overlooked. And continuing to show up anyway. Noah Powell is officially a pro. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    EPISODE 61 : HOCKEY GIVES BLOOD

    FOUNDER | STU MIDDLETON We sit down with the team behind Hockey Gives Blood, a nonprofit founded in 2018 by former hockey players who wanted to use the power of the game to help others. The organization was inspired by deeply personal tragedy, including co-founder and President Stu Middleton losing his father, Tom, and the devastating Humboldt Broncos tragedy that showed the world just how powerful the hockey community can be when it rallies together. Hockey Gives Blood has turned that emotion into action. In partnership with Canadian Blood Services, its mission is to educate, inspire, and mobilize the hockey community around blood, plasma, stem cell, and organ and tissue donation. Through player ambassadors, teams, leagues, and community events, they are showing athletes that their impact can extend far beyond the rink. We talk about the story behind the movement, Stu's personal connection to the cause, the incredible people who have helped grow it, and why hockey has the ability to create meaningful change when its community comes together. This episode is about purpose, sacrifice, community, and using the game to give someone else a chance at life. The game is bigger than the game.

    EPISODE 60 : JORDAN RAY

    Jordan Ray's journey is a story of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering belief. Born and raised in Florida, she carved out an incredible path to Yale University, where she developed into one of college hockey's top competitors while balancing the demands of an elite academic institution. But the road to achieving her dream wasn't smooth. At one of the most critical moments of her collegiate career, Jordan battled through a significant injury that tested her physically, mentally, and emotionally. Rather than allowing adversity to define her, she embraced the challenge, fought through the setbacks, and came out stronger on the other side. That resilience ultimately paid off when she was selected by the Ottawa Charge in the PWHL Draft, turning years of sacrifice into the next chapter of her hockey journey. In this episode of Locker Room Life, Jordan opens up about overcoming adversity, trusting the process when everything seems uncertain, navigating the pressure of high-level hockey, and what it truly takes to earn your opportunity. Her story is a reminder that success isn't built during the easy moments—it's forged through the obstacles that try to stop you. This is a conversation about grit, perspective, leadership, and chasing a dream when the path refuses to be easy. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
