What separates great hockey organizations from the ones that struggle?
This week on 2 Many Men on the Mic, we sit down with Matt Dumouchelle from The Coaches Site to break down what actually drives success in youth hockey programs—from alignment and culture to feedback systems and leadership structure.

In this episode, we cover:
* The 3 biggest things that derail a hockey season
* The “Club Triangle” — aligning boards, coaches, and parents
* Why top programs build systems for feedback and accountability
* Using surveys as a performance thermometer throughout the season
* The impact of open borders in youth hockey on development and stability

If you're a coach, hockey director, board member, or parent—this is a must-watch conversation on building a better program.

👉 Clubs & organizations: We highly recommend connecting with Matt Dumouchelle. His work with top hockey organizations provides real frameworks you can apply immediately.
