Welcome to Season Two of "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course, the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.

This week, Kendra sits down with Jack Hanratty, former head coach of Canada’s Women’s National Rugby 7s Team, for an honest and powerful conversation about leadership, team culture, and what it really takes to create lasting change in high-performance sport. After a disappointing 9th-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics, Jack and his team faced a long road of rebuilding, not just in terms of performance, but in redefining what it meant to play for Canada. Jack reflects on how the team transformed from the inside out: shifting their mindset, setting clear “gold medal behaviours,” and holding each other accountable every step of the way.

What is it you love about winter? Is it the thrill, the beauty, the stillness? As Canadian’s winter is part of our DNA. The snowy season is something that unites from coast to coast. For The Love of Winter, is a podcast that celebrates Canada’s longest season.
