Austin is currently going into his 9th pro season and 3rd in Slovakia. He grew up in Illinois, which is where he first learned to play, before heading to Fargo and eventually University of Minnesota-Duluth. We talked about Austin’s immediate jump to Sweden after college and how he found success in 2 great leagues there. We also took a deep dive into concussions and his experience. Austin spoke on how his mental health took priority and he had to step away from hockey for a bit to heal. Clearly was the right decision as he is doing great now and going into his 3rd season in Nove Zamky in Slovakia. Hope you enjoy!
