What Hockey Didn’t Teach Trevor Linden About Men’s Health

What happens when the habits that make you successful in sports don’t work in life?

As a teenager, Trevor Linden was drafted second overall by the Vancouver Canucks. By 21, he was the team captain. The mindset that drove him to push harder, never showing weakness, left him carrying a weight many men know too well: suffering in silence.

In this candid conversation with host Dan Murphy, Trevor shares the lessons hockey didn’t teach him: the power of connection, the guidance of mentors, and why caring for your mental and physical health is not optional.

Whether you’re chasing goals at work, raising a family, or just trying to feel your best, Trevor’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to make small, meaningful changes—and that real strength comes from taking care of yourself and those who count on you.
