“I’ve never attempted anything like this before,” - Sean Fitz Gerald

The Athletic’s senior national writer Sean Fitz-Gerald is this week’s guest on The Scrum Podcast. He recently wrote the book “Before the Lights Go Out”, where he describes the state of hockey in Canada, its rising costs, hockey families, and aspiring players through the eyes of the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League. Then, we issue a correction to last week's 30 Under 30 episode, and share some of our runners-up & honourable mentions!
