Hockey is more than just a game—it’s a team, a family, and a place where players support one another both on and off the ice. In this episode of The Ride to the Rink, we welcome world-class hockey player and mental health advocate Kendra Fisher to talk about an important part of the game that doesn’t always get enough attention—the mental side.
Kendra shares her own journey with mental health, offering powerful advice for young players who may be struggling. From learning how to ask for help to being a great teammate for those who need support, she breaks down what it means to create a culture of trust, connection, and understanding in hockey.
🎧 Key Takeaways:
✅ You don’t have to go through struggles alone—asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
✅ Being a great teammate goes beyond passing the puck—it means checking in, being present, and showing kindness.
✅ Leadership isn’t just about skill—it’s about making those around you better, both on and off the ice.
✅ Adults play a role too—coaches, parents, and mentors can create a safe environment for kids to open up.
💡 Whether you’re 8 or 18, mental health is part of your journey, and knowing how to navigate it—both for yourself and your teammates—makes all the difference.
