This episode will be hosted by Gresko and co-hosted by Hoff with Special Guest Daniel Carcillo – Two Time Stanley Cup Champion with the NHL Chicago Blackhawks
TJHP EP027 – This week’s episode of The Junior Hockey Podcast Hoff and Gresko talks with Retired NHL player and Stanley Cup winner, Daniel Carcillo. We talked about his career in the Ontario Hockey League, and how he was abused mentally and physically during his Junior Hockey Career. During this interview, Dan was driving to Sarnia to discuss the abuse with the people of Sarnia. He has not only become an advocate for people who have been affected by abuse, but he has also become the spokesperson for all people affected by Traumatic Brain Injuries. During his mission of helping people, he has made the NHL his target. We spoke a lot about Concussions, TBI’s, and CTE and how the NHL has been denying that players are being affected by the very serious side effects of TBI’s. He goes into great depth about Junior Hockey and the issue of concussions that is affecting hockey players during and after their careers. We had a great time talking with Dan and he shared a ton of great knowledge about the severity of Concussions in the sport of hockey. We hope you enjoy this episode and come out of it knowing more about this topic.
