Episode Description
Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G8QTmh_wX28 In Episode 342 of the Glass and Out Podcast, we welcome head coach of the Minnesota Class A State Champions, Jay Hardwick. He just wrapped up his 14th season with Warroad High School, which concluded with the fifth Championship in program history. In addition, Hardwick serves as the Hockey Director of Warroad Youth Hockey. He eats, breathes and sleeps Warroad hockey. Warroad is a community of roughly 1,800 residents in Northern Minnesota. In a given year, about 200 of those residents are kids playing in their local youth association. If one player were to come out of Warroad and make it to the NHL, that would defy the odds. But not only has the community produced a number of NHL players, including TJ Oshie and Brock Nelson, they have also produced seven Olympians between the US mens and Women's National Teams. Statistically, Warroad is a Unicorn. As a result, they've earned the moniker "Hockey Town USA". Listen as he shares the journey to a State Championship, his experience of growing up in Warroad, and how he's paying it forward today.
