He led the 1999 Memorial Cup in scoring and captured the junior hockey championship with that Ottawa 67's team. He carried his "rookie duties" as a badge of honour at every stage of his hockey career. But while recovering after a series of injuries, reality set in for Justin Davis. Was everything he went through actually "normal?" And if it was, why was that considered normal within the culture of the game? The soul-searching led to a full-blown memoir called 'Conflicted Scars: An Average Player's Journey to the NHL.' There's no hockey-bashing in the book, or in this episode. Just an honest -- and often funny -- assessment of the game that challenges us to reconsider our perceptions and give serious thought to changes that should happen.
