The Hockey Journey Podcast: Jackie Pieper Hockey Journey EP131
Episode Description
Welcome to Today's Episode! I'm excited to share with you the story of Jackie Pieper's incredible hockey journey today. It all started when a mom of one of the players I coach (who's a big fan of the podcast, by the way) suggested that Jackie would make an amazing guest. And wow, was she right! The Journey to the Top Jackie Pieper has truly climbed the hockey mountain, achieving her dream of playing college hockey. I'm eager to unpack her journey with you, starting from the very beginning. Jackie's passion for hockey was sparked early on by her mom, who shared her own love of the sport with her children. But as we all know, the road to success is rarely smooth. Jackie and her family faced their share of tough times, particularly when her older brother Duke, at just 15 years old, was given only a 5% chance to survive a serious health challenge. Continuing the Legacy But Jackie's impact on hockey didn't stop when she hung up her competitive skates. She's been inspiring the next wave of hockey talents, coaching various teams over the years and currently offering private small-group on-ice skills training. Beyond the ice, Jackie continues to make a difference as a speech pathologist, bringing her passion for helping others into another aspect of her life. If you're ready for a dose of inspiration, grab your favorite drink, and let's dive into a story that's sure to tug at your heartstrings.
