On episode 49 of the #MentalDivePodcast, I have the pleasure of being joined by Tim Bernhardt (4:05). Tim is a NHL alumnus who played 12 years of professional hockey as a goaltender, with NHL stops in Calgary and Toronto totaling 67 NHL games. After the conclusion of his professional playing career, he went on to NHL scouting for 25 years with both the Dallas Stars and Arizona (formerly Phoenix) Coyotes. For 17 of these seasons, he served as the organization's Director of Amateur Scouting.Throughout the podcast we discuss a wealth of topics covering both his professional playing and scouting career. Some of the topics include how he believes Wayne Gretzky's game would translate into today's NHL, the story of drafting Jamie Benn with the Dallas Stars, the importance of a player's mindset and attitude when selecting them in the NHL Draft, the psychological aspects of scouting and so much more!Find me on Instagram & Twitter: @taylorstadenCover photo creds: DL/Pinterest
