Episode 73: TopLine Hockey - Your Kid Doesn’t Need the Best Team…They Need the Right Coach

Episode 73: TopLine Hockey - Your Kid Doesn’t Need the Best Team…They Need the Right Coach

Scott and Jamie sit down with Justin Selman and Boo Nieves of TopLine Hockey for a brutally honest conversation about development, coaching, team-hopping, and what parents keep getting wrong.

Justin and Boo share their own paths through Michigan, pro hockey, the AHL grind, injuries, coaching, and building TopLine into one of the most trusted development groups in the area.

But the real meat of this episode is youth hockey today: why parents chase logos, why kids get stuck in the wrong roles too early, why switching teams every year can backfire, and why the best situation isn’t always the best-ranked team.

In this episode:

  • Why “the best team” may be the wrong fit
  • Why team-hopping can become a red flag
  • Why you can’t force a kid to love hockey
  • The brutal reality of the AHL grind

If your kid is miserable, underused, or chasing the next logo - this one is required listening.
