Episode 95 - Ken Baker

Episode 95 - Ken Baker

On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast, we have what might have been the deepest conversation yet with acclaimed author and former college/professional hockey player, Ken Baker. Ken played college hockey at Colgate before figuring out that he had a debilitating physical disease that attacked his hormone levels. But after recognizing what was wrong...he put everything on hold (he was a celebrity reporter in Los Angeles and tells a few cool stories about that) to pursue his dream of being a professional hockey player! It's a really inspiring story, and we talk about:

-Falling in love with hockey because of the Miracle on Ice in 1980.

-The trap of the comparison culture.

-The importance of having BIG dreams and goals.

-The difference of being a dad to a girl and boy hockey player.

-Celebrity culture and how it relates to hockey.
