About the Host
Wilson Drake is a 10U hockey player for the Loudoun Knights hockey club. He was inspired by his coaches with the Loudoun Hockey Academy when they started their own Podcast, 3rd Line Grind, during the spring of 2020. Wilson noticed there wasn't a hockey podcast out there just for kids, so he is turning his gift for gab into a great opportunity to share the love of the game with others.
