A panel of former NHL players will be featured at the Train Like the Pros event presented by Kelowna Minor Hockey and Third Space Mind Counselling Centre.

On Jan. 23, the Laurel Packinghouse will host the panel, which includes clinical counsellor Barb Egan of Third Space Mind, as they discuss sports psychology, the importance of mental training, and mental health both on and off the ice.
