In this episode, we take a deep dive into the 1980 USA Hockey team and how they used talent, tactics and a team bond to pull off the Greatest Sports moment of the 20th Century.

When your NHL career consists of 1904 regular season games, 12

Stanley Cup Finals and over 261 playoff games - you’re going to have

some stories to tell.

Our guest today on the WeLive.Hockey podcast is Kerry Fraser, one

of the most famous and tenured referees in NHL history. We had the

chance to sit down with him at the Peconic Hockey Foundation’s

annual Legends invitational golf outing at the Sebonic golf club on

Eastern Long Island.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Fraser’s journey from aspiring

hockey player to the NHL Referee training camp, stories from his time

in the game and h is thoughts on officiating today and where it will

be going in the future.

The debate over Don Cherry being let go from Hockey Night in Canada has stirred debate throughout North America. However we think its the symptom of a larger problem.

This audio is from a recent Quick Shift that Lee did on WeLive.Hockey's main channel regarding the debate.

Lee and Travis give their thoughts on this weeks quick shifts, including how nobody made a big deal about Ovechkin's milestone as the top scoring left wing in hockey. Lee also drops some exciting news about the Welive crew partnering with the 1980 Men's Olympic Hockey team!

If you were the GM of a new NHL team, how would you approach it?

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with the new GM of the Seattle NHL expansion franchise, Ron Francis, at the 2019 Peconic Hockey Foundation Legends Invitational Golf outing at the Sebonic Golf club on Long Island.

Francis, an NHL Hall-of-Famer, gave us some insight into the process of building a team from scratch.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Mike Richter, famed New York Rangers goaltender who was in the net during the teams 1994 run, at the 2019 Peconic Hockey Foundation Legends Golf outing at Sebonic Golf Club. Richter, who was there in the support of the foundations mission to grow the game on Eastern Long Island, gave us insight into his NHL career, fans and the future of the game.

Listen to this podcast before the others! This podcast is a little different than our usual content. Some will be our normal goofy schtick, while some will listen like an audiobook. Hopefully, we have a little something for everyone on this one. ENJOY!

What do you think of when you hear the word “legacy”?

For Bryan Trottier, you may think that his seven Stanley Cups, Hall-of-fame induction, inclusion in the top-100 NHL players of all time among many other awards from professional hockey might serve as an appropriate answer. And while all of his accomplishments on the ice are something he is proud of, it's not what he refers to as his legacy.

In August of 2019, my team and I were privileged to be able to sit down with Bryan in Kitimat, British Columbia - an area pretty far removed from our home in Philadelphia, approximately 3245 miles to be exact.

Bryan was there to launch a new initiative across Canada to bring ball hockey to first nation communities to both introduce newcomers to the game in addition using the game as a vehicle for growth, both personally and throughout communities in Canada.

It was through this experience that we got a peak at how Bryan views his legacy, and more important the shared legacy of those around him
