Shift Change - Staying in the game at 50+

Brett Callighen’s hockey journey spans decades—from playing alongside Wayne Gretzky in the early days of the Edmonton Oilers to competing in one of the toughest eras of the game.

After overcoming a career-altering eye injury, Brett didn’t walk away. Today, in his 70s, he’s still lacing them up and playing.

In this episode, Brett shares stories from his career—including moments with Gretzky, the intensity of the WHA, and what happens when Gordie Howe decides he’s coming after you.

This is a conversation about resilience, identity, and what it truly means to stay in the game.

Dr. Cola joins the show to explore the deeper side of staying the game - How health, recovery, and the mind-body connection play a critical role in performing and feeling your best after 50.

Rich introduces Shift Change and explains why staying in the game at 50+ requires a different approach—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
