What does it take to face the world's brightest spotlight while quietly fighting battles no one can see?
Carlin Lutzer sits down with Canadian hockey icon Kelly Hrudey, former NHL goaltender for the New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings, and San Jose Sharks, and one of the most beloved analysts on Hockey Night in Canada…. for a conversation that goes far deeper than the game.
Kelly's connection to Okotoks runs through the community-building street hockey tournament hosted by Okotoks Nissan, where he's shown up year after year to give local kids an unforgettable experience.
Carlin and Kelly explore Kelly's unlikely path to the NHL, the legendary Easter Epic of 1987, life alongside Wayne Gretzky in Los Angeles, and …most powerfully …Kelly's open, honest journey through mental health struggles.
Listeners will discover that behind the confidence on their Saturday night screens is a man who fights for his good days, one at a time.
