In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head Strength & Conditioning Coach of the St. Louis Blues in the NHL, Eric Renaghan. Eric is the only person I have had on the podcast who is currently working in the NHL which makes this an absolute honour. Previous guests who have discussed ice hockey include Matt Nichol, Doug McKenney & Kevin Carr. Eric is clearly a very smart operator and and he doesn't disappoint in this episode.
