My guest for this episode is former Vancouver Canuck and Washington Capital,  by way of Brown University and Vernon Vipers, Aaron Volpatti!

What's up guys? It's been a minute! I'm back with a second season of the show and I'm pumped. This season will be done at a leisurely pace, but I want to ensure that I'm bringing on the best guests possible and the best content for you to listen to. It's going to be a great NHL season, and I can't wait to connect with you all to discuss the game that brings us all together.

My guest for this episode is Ryan Phillips! Ryan is a former WHL and minor pro hockey player who has an incredible story. Ryan went to prison for importing marijuana across the Canada-US border while he was playing pro hockey. These days though, Ryan is a huge advocate for mental health awareness and preventing child sex trafficking, and has ridden his bike across countries in order to raise awareness to these causes. This is not your typical hockey interview, but Ryan's passion for helping others has inspired me and I wanted to give him a chance to share his story!
