Jon Howse may just be the best hockey player currently based in China, although his minor league career in North America was cut short by concussions. He’s been coaching here since 2015 and had a ton of stories for us on the podcast – including, most shockingly, how he witnessed a coach “dropkick” an eight-year-old kid in the stomach. Fortunately, abuse like that is on the way out, Howse says, but it does still happen.
We wrapped up all the week’s stories before diving into a lengthy chat with Jon. All the info is below.
Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks: a combination of travel (including a LOT of quarantine), plus other work priorities, have kept me from the site. I’ve been working on two other sports projects in particular, the first of which I’m happy to announce below, with a second, much larger one coming later in the year!
