#38 - Shaun Peet - A hockey journey to Nascar, Talladega Nights and being a leadership champion

It was a ton of fun on the Top Cheddar podcast as Shaun Peet
joined Lolly and Mooner to chat about his hockey journey from the
BCHL to the Calder Cup and how that journey led to his new career
in Nascar Racing!


Shaun Peet played in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL)
with his hometown Nanaimo Clippers and the Penticton
Panthers.  From there, he secured a scholarship to Dartmouth
College and played four years.  After he graduated from
Dartmouth, Peet played 7 years of professional hockey.  He
played in the Western Professional Hockey League, East Coast
Hockey League, Central Hockey League, Southern Professional
Hockey League and the American Hockey League.  That included
a run to the Calder Cup (AHL Championship) with the Wilkes-Barre
Penguins in 2000-01.


While on a hockey suspension, a chance meeting led to an
opportunity to tour the inner workings of Nascar. Well, one thing
led to another and soon a new career path was on tap for Shaun.
That work also led to being in the movie Talladega Nights: The
Ballad of Ricky Bobby


In addition to coaching in NASCAR, Peet is also an author,
motivational speaker, and business consultant with DECK
Leadership, who inspires the modern workplace through pit crew
strategies.
