Never Far from Home

Nic Has been involved with hockey from the outset. His older brother (16 years his senior) was the first one to get involved, and his family had tight roots to skating as it was. It was a natural fit for him to play, and he has been skating and playing the game we love for over 30 years.

Joe Novak was born in to hockey. His father played the game, and imparted his passion to Joe at a young age. Now, with over 60 years playing, reffing, coaching, and managing the sport, he shares his history, and some of his best memories.

Blair Mcnamara has been involved with hockey in one capacity or another for 47 years as of this episode. He sits down with me to discuss some of his story, and to recall a few memories that would have otherwise been left alone.

Gabe Gauthier is the current Director of Foothills Hockey. He has spent 32 years in the game as of the publication of this episode, even appearing in a few NHL preseason games. He explores some memories from his younger days, and gets in to some details about his current roll and his outlook for hockey. Gabe was our first guest to cry on the show.

Shawn Killian is the Founder & President of Planet Hockey. He has been at this for over 20 years, and continues to spark the interest of youth all across the nation with his summer camps. Steve Strunk is the Vice President of Planet Hockey, and Shawn's right hand man. Between the two of them, there is enough hockey knowledge and passion to spark change inside of a community. This was extra special for me, as I partook in their camps twenty years ago, and I am lucky enough to have been brought back in to their circle in this new capacity all these years later.
