My Dad Used to Play Hockey Episode #22 - Eddie Olczyk
"I was ready to quit. I was ready to die."
"I met President Ronald Reagan. We had a parade for the team in DC."
"Every player has a role. It's incredibly hard to win Stanley Cups."
"Survivor's guilt is a real thing, and it's ok to talk about it."
"I had enough quiet time to last a lifetime."
Eddie Olczyk. One of the American pioneers of the NHL. A member of the US Hockey Hall of Fame. Stanley Cup champion (yeah, THAT Ranger team).
He wouldn't agree, but he's also an NHL broadcasting legend.
He also beat stage 3 colon cancer. His thoughts on the disease that has affected us all spoke to me in a way I needed. Thanks, Eddie.
His example on loving family, friends and the game is nothing short of inspirational.
Get to know him.

My Dad Used to Play Hockey Episode #24 - Mike Milbury
"I was mistreated. I was betrayed. I feel like I was taken advantage of so they could make themselves look like a part of a woke moment."
"Probably the single most awful thing I did is I took the shoe and threw it on the ice so he had to go home with one shoe off and one shoe on."
"I really don't give a shit."
That last quote really sums up Mike Milbury. For 46 years he was an integral part of NHL History.
A lot of people love him. A lot more hate him. He's ok with that.
But think you know him? His supposedly bad deals?
You probably don't. So get to know him.
General Manager. Coach. Player. Broadcaster. Fired. What's next?
