On today’s very special episode, we look back at the some of the best answers and moments of the first 100 episodes.  We have certainly come a long way since we started the podcast in late 2020. Back then there actually wasn’t any app.  We only introduce the Champs App Profile a few months later – and then the ability to connect directly with college, prep or junior coaches. Since then we have continued to add new content and tools like the Girls Hockey Event Calendar, our Team Coach Directory, our Messaging Tool and of course we recently introduced CHAMPS+ to provide access to additional recruiting and player development insights advice and experts.
