#59 Building a Mentally Healthy Hockey Culture with Dr. Kristen Dieffenbach

In the final episode from Mental Health Awareness Month, the USA Hockey Podcast welcomes special host Abby Woodford back again for a thoughtful conversation with Dr. Kristen Dieffenbach of West Virginia University and the United States Center for Coaching Excellence. Together, they explore what it means to build a mentally healthy hockey culture, starting with respect, proactive education, open communication, and intentional leadership. Dr. Dieffenbach shares practical ways coaches, captains, and teammates can support one another before challenges become crises, while also helping athletes navigate difficult moments, team transitions, and the balance between competitive toughness and compassion. This episode encourages the hockey community to view mental health as part of everyday athlete development, not something addressed only when problems arise.
