In this episode I sit down and chat with 3 of my former minor hockey teammates - Nick Ursitti, Nicky Eustace (Jibz) and Matt Alvaro. We all played on the 1996 Mississauga Rebel's team together and have stayed good friends since our minor hockey days. We reminisce about some of our fond minor hockey memories, transitioning from minor to junior (and subsequently college) as well as chat about handling concussions in hockey and the surge of the Vegas Golden Knights. This was a fun chat and my favourite episode yet. I truly think everyone listening will enjoy this one.
