32 Thoughts: The Podcast · Behind the Scenes With the Keators · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

So I'm Matt Cater.

I'm going into my 37th year in NHL circles.

I worked for eight years, first eight years of my career as a scout with the St.

Louis Blues, traveling all over the world.

Sweden in particular, which we'll discuss some on this podcast.

And the last 29, going into my 29th year in the agent business.

So been doing this a long time.

And he just did his master's in sports management at Boston College.

So he is a double eagle.

We'll give him some credit there.

Let's bring it.

So years back, probably eight, nine years ago, I got a call from Zdeno Chara, who one of his best friends in the world is a guy by the name of Radek Hammer, who played for the Ottawa Senators years ago.

And Radek's a Czech, but he's based in Sweden, in Karlstad, Sweden.

And Z said, hey, he's one of my best friends.

He's a great person.

He's in the agent business.

He wants to talk to you about affiliating.

I was skeptical at best, but the minute I started talking erratic, I loved him.

You know, he had the same values and beliefs as we did.

I met his partner, Marcus Isaacson, who's been an agent over there for 20 plus years and has done a tremendous job over there negotiating contracts.
