Vancouver Giants Assistant Coach Wacey Rabbit: Developing gritty players, inspiring the Indigenous community and rodeo leadership lessons

In episode 334 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome Wacey Rabbit, Assistant Coach of the WHL's Vancouver Giants. Rabbit was recently inducted into the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame. A proud member of the Kainai First Nation, also known as the Blood Tribe, located in Southern Alberta, he has been intentional in providing kids from Indigenous communities inspiration by using the game of hockey to teach life skills that will empower them away from the rink. After a playing career that saw him capture the 2006 Memorial Cup with the Giants and a pro career that spanned 14 seasons and multiple continents, Rabbit started his coaching journey as an assistant coach with the BCHL's Alberni Valley Bulldogs. That would be followed by a move back to his former junior team, the Saskatoon Blades, for three years, and finally this season a return to the Vancouver Giants. Listen as he shares how he's using his Indigenous roots and sobriety to inspire the next generation, leadership lessons from growing up in a rodeo family, and what it takes to develop grit in a player's game.

Coaching Legend Scotty Bowman: A hockey history lesson, Dick Irvin practice tips and tactics for today's game

In episode 333 of the Glass and Out Podcast we had the honour of being joined by the greatest hockey coach of all time, Scotty Bowman. As a head coach, Bowman led the Montreal Canadians, Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings to a combined 9 Stanley Cups. He also captured another five cups in front office roles. He is the NHL's all-time wins leader, with a total of 1,467 between the regular season and playoffs and was twice awarded the Jack Adams trophy as the NHL's Coach of the Year. But above all else, Scotty Bowman is the ultimate student of the game. He was able to adapt to new rules, new generations of players, the introduction of Europeans to the NHL, and eventually, the influx of Russians that arrived with the collapse of the Soviet Union. He saw drastically different versions of the game from the rough and tumble 70's to the high flying 80's and the dead puck era in the 90's. At 92, his memory, as you are about to hear, is simply remarkable and there is no doubt that ability helped him gain a competitive advantage from behind the bench based on his ability to recall the slightest detail and nuance within a game. Listen as he shares a lesson in hockey history, practice tips from the legend Dick Irvin, and the how he views the current state of today's game.
