Laurie Mercier, Dustin Newman and I sit and discuss our 2006 bike trip where we traveled across Canada in 69 days. We had no training or knowledge of biking long distances and what ensued is comical.... and a story you won’t soon forget 

From small town Saskatchewan to West Kelowna Junior ‘A’ onto winning a national championship and now Division 1 in Alaska; Kylar Hope‘s story does not disappoint.

All three have played multiple years in the WHL.. We get to take a closer look at off season training, road trips, bouncing between schools and finally how they all handled being traded

This one was pretty cool. Murray and I did this episode live at the Lashburn Elementary School in front of different classes who sat and watched throughout the interview. Murray is retired from teaching (30years) and now is a full time painter. He taught himself rugby by reading a book and went on to coach the Lashburn High School to 5 provincial championship. He has a lot of insight on coaching kids and how to approach life in general.  You don’t want to miss this one.
