Ritch Winter, NHL Player Agent

About this episode

Ritch Winter discusses his career as an NHL player agent and shares insights on contracts, relationships, and memorable experiences.

NHL Player Agent Ritch Winter talks about the business and lifestyle of his career, why the Head Coach is apparently never wrong, the key components of any contract being 'opportunity' FIRST and THEN 'money,' his made-for-marketing PWHL client Abby Hustler, his thoughts on Marty Walsh and the NHLPA, his positive relationships with the NHL’s Gary Bettman and Bill Daly, his interactions with entertainers Hilary Duff and Carrie Underwood, and that surreal dinner he enjoyed at the dearly departed Wayne Gretzky’s restaurant seated with Michael Jordan, Chris Chelios, John McEnroe, Cindy Crawford, Jerry Bruckheimer and Kid Rock!
