Karl Subban has an impressive resume.

Educator. Motivator. Famous hockey dad and now, author. 

He joins us for our first episode of 2018 to discuss his debut book, How We Did It - The Subban Plan for Success in Hockey, School and Life, written with journalist Scott Colby (Toronto Star).

While most know him as the father of NHL superstar P.K. Subban (Nashville Predators) as well as Malcolm (Vegas Golden Knights) and Jordan (LA Kings). His new book, like the man, is multi-faceted, going well beyond the rink.

From exploring the family roots in Jamaica to revisiting P.K.'s controversial departure from the Montreal Canadiens, listen as we converse with the Subban family patriarch.

A Filipino basketball league in the Yukon, street racers dodging the law around Toronto's suburbs and a first-hand account of the Bassmaster Classic fishing challenge are just a few of the unique stories curated by Stacey May Fowles and Pasha Malla in the Best Canadian Sports Writing anthology. 

Released this fall, the compilation highlights narrative non-fiction. It takes the reader far beyond the 24-hour news cycle by showcasing authors and topics rarely featured in the mainstream sports conversation.

Fowles, author of Baseball Life Advice, joins fellow journalists Neil Acharya and Neate Sager to discuss the project.

How many NHL goalies claim to have had out of body experiences?, traveled to India to study meditation....and partied like a rock star? We know of one, his name is Gilles Gratton, otherwise known as Gratoony The Loony.  Join journalists Neil Acharya & Neate Sager as they discuss his "wild and unpredictable life" with author Greg Oliver (Slam Wrestling). 

Join journalists Neil Acharya and Neate Sager in conversation with broadcaster/author Ken Reid (Host / Sportsnet Central) about his third book, titled: Dennis Maruk: The Unforgettable Story of Hockey's Forgotten 60-goal Man.
