Sandra kicks off part one of her in depth conversation with Wranglers blueliner Daniil Miromanov, who opens up about his path to hockey in our country. Daniil shares how his journey began long before major junior—moving to Canada as a teen, navigating school life in Ontario, and coming close to suiting up for the London Knights. He also reflects on the Hockey Hall of Famer who saw his potential as a d-man.

(21:11) The conversation continues as Daniil looks back on the trade that brought him from Vegas to Calgary. He talks candidly about adjusting to a new organization, finding his voice in the Wranglers room, and why being a mentor to the team’s younger Russian players has become an essential part of his role.
