In this episode of the Working in Hockey podcast, host Nick Bowins interviews Teri Weiss, founder of Skate Armor, a company dedicated to creating safer neck guards for hockey players.

Teri shares her journey of developing a neck guard that is not only effective but also comfortable for players. With her son Mason Lohrei playing in the NHL for the Boston Bruins, and her daughter Zoe Lohrei playing NCAA Women's Hockey for Adrian College, Teri knows firsthand just how little attention has been paid to neck-protection at the highest levels of hockey.

The conversation delves into the challenges of entrepreneurship, the increasing importance of safety in hockey, and raising awareness for enhanced protective gear. Teri emphasizes the need for education around safety equipment and discusses the future of Skate Armor, including new product developments and the involvement of her loving family in the business.
