Episode Ep 46 - Dan MacKenzie
In this episode, we’re joined by Dan MacKenzie, President of the Canadian Hockey League, for a conversation about leadership, fatherhood, and what it means to shape the next generation.
Dan shares his journey from teaching and coaching basketball to helping grow the National Basketball Association in Canada, and eventually stepping into one of the biggest leadership roles in junior hockey. He reflects on patience, timing, and the importance of taking chances when opportunities come.
We also talk about:
• The pressures facing young athletes today • Mental health in junior hockey • Parenting teens in a busy career • Lessons passed down from his father • Why being present matters more than perfection
This is a thoughtful episode about family, responsibility, and building a legacy that lasts far beyond sport.
