Brett Howden can now call himself a Stanley Cup Champion.

Howden, a key contributor in the Las Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup playoff run, shares his professional journey to this milestone during our 60 minute conversation.

A western Canadian kid, Howden was originally drafted 5th overall to the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL and played 4 seasons with the team.

After his second WHL season, where Howden produced 64 points in 68 games, Howden was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning 27th overall in the 2016 NHL Entry draft. Brett wasn't Lightning property for long though, as he was traded to the New York Rangers shortly after winning a gold medal at the 2018 U20 World Junior Championships.

This trade was pivotal for Howden. He went from a powerhouse Stanley Cup favorite, loaded with depth, to a franchise that was rebuilding and wanted youth.

Howden earned his way on to the Rangers in his rookie pro season and he hasn't looked back.

This is where our conversation starts.

Brett Howden candidly shares his journey to date and in true Up My Hockey style we dig into the lessons Howden has to provide.

Enjoy!
