NHL forward Jason Zucker joins Kate and Owen on Next Play to break down the mental side of pro hockey, resilience, and redefining toughness. He shares how becoming a parent reshaped his relationship with OCD and routine, why he stays mentally fresh by focusing outside the rink instead of leaning on traditional mindset tools, and how surviving 8-9 surgeries in 14 years taught him to treat injury as part of the game, not an obstacle to it.
