Episode 49: Tyler Gaudet
The pride of Hamilton Tyler Gaudet joined the prohockeypod this week. Tyler took a chance to go to the QMJHL, was sent down to Pembroke, where he met Sheldon Keefe. Sheldon ended up getting a job with the OHL’s Soo Greyhounds and took Tyler with him at the age of 19. 8 months later, Tyler signed an NHL contract with the Arizona Coyotes. Tyler went through adversity, didn’t give up and was rewarded for his perseverance. We talked a lot about the power of being confident and how playing your game can lead to success. Tyler went on to play 390 games in AHL and 20 in the NHL before heading to Germany. Tyler talked a lot about the importance of living in the moment and not focusing on the future/next step, something he wish he did earlier in his pro career. A great “never give up” story and perfect example of how everyone has their own path. Hope you enjoy!
