My guest today, born in Canada, was a first round draft pick by the Ottawa senators in 1992 and went on to play over 1000 pro hockey games during his incredible career, capping it off with a Stanley cup in Tampa Bay in 2004. Some of his accolades include multiple AHL All-Star selections, 1997 Eddie Shore award winner as the best AHL defenseman and was the top scoring D-man that season and in ’96 led the AHL with an incredible plus 45. After his playing days ended, he immediately entered the world of coaching and I was lucky to have spent a couple weeks coaching with him last season here in Hong Kong as part of the CHG Master Series. Welcome to the podcast, Stanley Cup Champion, Darren Rumble. 

He’s a retired Canadian hockey player and now head coach of the University of Ottawa Gee Gee's who is known for his incredible skill, tenacity and his passion for the game. After a successful playing career, he transitioned into coaching. He's a decorated QMJHL alumni, AUS first team all star, Godfrey award winner as AUS Student- Athlete of the year, Canadian National University Champion as a player and now as a Coach. He's also played over 170 professional games in his career. Please welcome Mon ami Patrick Grandmaitre!
