The Fight After the Fight: A Story of Grit & Growth | Ep 103 with Kelly Chase
In this powerful episode of Operation Be, I sit down with the legendary Kelly Chase — former NHL enforcer, proud St. Louis Blues alum, and a man whose story goes far beyond the rink.
Kelly opens up about his incredible journey through life after hockey — from battling cancer to building businesses — and how grit, gratitude, and community have shaped every step of his path. We talk about what it really means to live with intention, to lead with heart, and to keep showing up even when life knocks you down.
He shares stories from his farm upbringing, the deep importance of relationships, and how his work with cancer fundraising and the Carbon Club is helping others find strength and purpose through connection.
This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t about toughness — it’s about heart. 💙
🎧 Tune in for an episode full of truth, perspective, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from a life fully lived.
