Episode 228 - Dan O'Donoghue

On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast, we bring on former pro player and current NYPD Officer, Dan O’Donoghue. Growing up on Long Island, Dan’s road from youth hockey to DI - and eventually pro - was not a “traditional” path, and we talk about the life lessons learned through hockey that contributed to his success on and off the ice. In this conversation we talk: — Community, teamwork, and camaraderie — Toph and Dan’s coaching days together in Syracuse (and a little about how youth hockey can be better for the kids) — How playing high level hockey prepared Dan for a life of service in the NYPD — The spectacle that is the NYPD vs NYFD annual hockey game AND MUCH MORE!
