Episode 263- Brian Yandle and Mike Mottau are back with the first mailbag of 2026! The guys kick off the episode recapping their weekends around the rinks and putting the focus on relaying the correct message to the team. Then the boys dip into the mailbag to answer all of your questions and react to your stories which includes:

• Adapting to a higher level of hockey going from peewee to bantam
• Defending the prep hockey scene
• Focusing on development of a player in a “non” hockey market
• + more!

BY & Motts wrap up the show by answering the My Hockey Rankings question of the week and Motts gives his Motts moment lock of the week.
