Linus Karlsson joins us from our new Pioneer Auto Group Jeep studio to discuss his hockey journey from Sweden to North America and the challenges of adapting to a different style of play. Linus shares insights about his NHL experience while revealing the mental aspects of professional hockey that fans rarely see.

• Reflections on international tournaments and the excitement of seeing national teams compete
• Managing the mental challenges of playing professional hockey in a new country
