This week, I'm joined by University of Minnesota forward Jamie Nelson, as we discuss her early days growing up in Andover, Minnesota where she was put in skates at three years old, to how important it was to remain close to home and the growth and development that led to a career year in 2025-26.
With the PWHL Draft around the corner, we also discuss the anticipation Jamie feels ahead of this next chapter of her career, and how important it is to her to recognize the players who paved the way for her to have this moment.
Some of the key topics we cover include:
- Jamie Nelson's early hockey influences in Minnesota
- The importance of multi-sport athleticism
- Building a championship mindset and resilience
- Transitioning between college programs and growth
- The significance of community support and role models
- Reflections on collegiate achievements and awards
- The journey to the PWHL draft and professional aspirations
