Tyler Shattock is now the head coach of a premier BCHL organization, but he was once a professional hockey player - and it wasn't too long ago.
Drafted 5th overall in the 2005 WHL draft to the Kamloops Blazers - Tyler Shattock was a prized prospect that earned himself a 4th round selection in the 2009 NHL Entry draft to the St. Louis Blues.
Shattock was never able to find his way to the NHL as a player and spent is pro career between the AHL and ECHL. Although Shattock's career should be respected, it wasn't what he wanted.
And sometimes those circumstances result in a person who makes a great coach.
Tyler Shattock is only 33 years old, but is already in his 3rd season as a head coach with the Silverbacks, and his tenure has been a solid one.
In this episode Shattock discusses the lessons he learned from his pro career and how he prepares his players for the next level.
