John Davidson and Hockey Players in Business Put on a Show at Quicken Loans Arena

Have you ever wondered how to stay connected to other athletes when your playing days are over? Well, if you are anything like the group over at Hockey Players in Business, it means putting together great events that not only connect former hockey players, but give back to the game they all loved as well!

Recently, the group partnered up with the Calder Cup Champion, Cleveland Monsters, and the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL to host an impressive event at Quicken Loans Arena. The admission of the event not only included an opportunity to network with other hockey players in business (hence the name), but to hear from NHL Hall of Famer and President of Hockey Operations for the Blue Jackets, John Davidson.

Davidson wasn’t the only member of the panel, as former NHL player and current Blue Jackets broadcaster, Jody Shelley, was there to help lead the discussion as well. Both Davidson and Shelley provided a excellent insight about the difficult transition players often face when leaving the game behind, but as Davidson put it, “Networking is working” when it comes to helping make this transition easier for hockey players.

Below is a video of Davidson speaking at the event and sharing the knowledge that has helped him transition from one of the greats to ever play the game to a success in the front office. Hockey Players in Business also posted a gallery of the photos from the event over on Facebook, which you can view by visiting their Facebook page—and while you are there, give it a like if you do not mind! They also have a full post with other quotes from the event you can read here.

NexGoal Co-Founder and CEO, Kevin Dahl, was also in attendance and helped give out some of the great door prizes from the event as you can see in a couple of the pictures below. Dahl enjoyed the event and mentioned it was great for former hockey players to have the opportunity to not only network, but share some laughs and take in a hockey game as well.

Olympic Reunion: Canada’s 1992 Silver Medal Hockey Team Has Mini Reunion

What happens when a group of Silver medalist, former Canadian hockey teammates get together for a mini-reunion? Well, unfortunately I cannot give you all the details (what happens in Canada stays in Canada)—but luckily for us, NexGoal CEO Kevin Dahl was a member of Canada’s 1992 Olympic Silver Medal team and was in attendance over the weekend to join in the festivities.

Dahl provided us with some pictures from the event, which included the following teammates: Gord Hynes, Eric Lindros, Todd Brost, Brad Schlegel, Randy Smith, Joé Juneau and Dave Archibald.

Dahl said the group spent the weekend “setting up for their 25-year reunion next year, telling lies (stories) and watching the Germany vs USA game.” For those who did not watch that game, Germany won on a last-minute goal at the World Hockey Championship in St. Petersburg.

Since details of the get together were privileged, you will have to live through the few pictures from their mini-reunion—which you can see in the gallery below.
