    NHL Captains Need to Dress Like Leaders

    Sean Avery is back with Episode 3 of The Sean Avery Show — and this week, he's talking NHL fashion, Connor Bedard, Dylan Larkin, Trevor Zegras, hockey cards, no-trade clauses and more! Sean Avery breaks down Connor Bedard's first season as captain of the Chicago Blackhawks and has some strong opinions about how an NHL captain — especially the captain of an Original Six franchise — should look and carry himself. He also takes aim at Dylan Larkin and the Detroit Red Wings, Trevor Zegras' jersey tuck, NHL equipment rules and the changing culture around hockey players. Plus, Sean talks about the San Jose Sharks, Gavin McKenna, Macklin Celebrini, the New York Rangers, Igor Shesterkin, Brock Faber's injury, the explosion of NHL trading cards and why he's buying up his own Sean Avery rookie cards. Sean also weighs in on no-trade clauses in the NHL and explains why he believes GMs give players too much leverage when they hand out excessive trade protection. This is The Sean Avery Show — an unfiltered look at hockey, NHL culture, players, personalities and the game from a former NHL player.

    Gavin McKenna, Leafs Leadership & Analytics

    Sean Avery is back with another episode of The Sean Avery Show — and the NHL season is finally here. This week, Sean Avery talks Gavin McKenna, William Nylander, Mike Babcock, the Edmonton Oilers, NHL fitness testing, analytics, scouting and what it takes to succeed in the NHL. Sean breaks down Gavin McKenna's mentality ahead of his first NHL game and explains why he believes the young star is ready for the pressure. He also weighs in on William Nylander and the Toronto Maple Leafs, arguing that Nylander should be the team's leader, while discussing Auston Matthews, the Leafs and what Toronto needs from its stars. Sean also dives into the latest Mike Babcock comments, including Babcock's "tree versus a shrub" description of Shakir Mukhamadullin, and explains why he believes Babcock understands how to connect with everyday hockey fans. Plus, Sean gives his take on the NHL eliminating fitness testing, shares his thoughts on Macklin Celebrini, reacts to Sidney Crosby's tribute to Marc-Andre Fleury, discusses Justin Verlander's final game, and explains why NHL teams should invest more in scouting and former players instead of relying so heavily on analytics.

    A Message to Hockey Parents

    Sean Avery is officially here — and he's got a message for hockey parents. In Episode 1 of The Sean Avery Show, Sean opens with a disturbing minor hockey incident that sparks a much bigger conversation about parents, pressure and the obsession with turning young hockey players into future NHL stars. Sean talks about the year-round hockey grind, private coaches, showcases, the money being spent on young players and why he believes parents need to pump the brakes and let kids actually enjoy the game. He also shares stories from his own childhood and his father's approach to hockey. Plus, Sean gets into Mike Babcock's return to the NHL and his new role with the Edmonton Oilers, Dan Carcillo and an upcoming experience in Colorado, Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey', Tanner Adams, his Hero of the Week, and Alexander Ovechkin. This is The Sean Avery Show — hockey, stories, opinions and an unfiltered look at the game from someone who actually played.
