The Rink Shrinks features former professional hockey players Mike Mottau and Brian Yandle, who bridge the gap between elite athletics and the youth sports experience. Operating out of the New England area, the duo utilizes their backgrounds as Boston College and University of New Hampshire alumni to advise families on the developmental landscape. Their content revolves around the 'Session' podcast format, where they host industry figures such as Ryan Whitney and Meghan Duggan to discuss collegiate recruiting and career longevity. A central pillar of their platform is the collaboration with MYHockey Rankings, which provides data-led insights for teams scheduling competitive seasons. Recently, the pair celebrated the release of their milestone Episode 100, further solidifying their role as humorous advisors for the 'hockey parent' demographic. By integrating technical coaching advice with unfiltered locker room storytelling, Mottau and Yandle offer a professional perspective on the cultural and athletic pressures of modern youth hockey.
