What does real youth hockey development look like beyond the hype, the gear, and the travel teams? In this episode of Beer League Live, we sit down with AA Nashville Junior Predators travel coach Patrick Murray to talk about how players actually improve — from 8U house hockey to hitting puberty, learning to compete, handling hitting, and navigating the pressure from parents, social media, private lessons, and the “AAA or bust” mindset.

If you’re a hockey parent, coach, or player anywhere in the youth hockey grind — this conversation will make you rethink development, competitiveness, and what really matters as your kid grows in the game.
