Mike Watson takes us Behind the Glass of his unique journey through hockey: Growing up just minutes away from the Islanders during their heyday, but not really getting into hockey until his oldest son Spence needed an activity close to home to burn some energy. Since then, Mike has served as President of the CIHC, which is supported by the NHL’s “Hockey is for Everyone Program.” Mike shares his experience as a Hockey Parent, Billet Parent, Program Administrator, Executive Board member, Coach, and Mentor on the many different paths of the youth hockey journey, from how to get started through different advanced pathways including AAA, prep school, junior, college and pro and everywhere in between, mostly notably on the efforts made, and the further steps needed to make hockey truly for everyone.
