#96 - Chris Dingman
Holy hell I laughed a lot in this one. Chris is a story teller & his stories are fantastic. He won a WHL championship with the Brandon Wheat Kings, went to two Memorial Cups & was drafted 19th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 1994 NHL entry draft. We discuss winning 2 cups one of which was with Joe Sakic, Ray Bourque & Peter Forsberg of the 2001 Colorado Avalanche. His 2nd cup came with Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier & Brad Richards of the 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning. Bus trips in the WHL, beating the crap out of anyone & everyone, drumming live with Garth Brooks or being front row for Celine Dion are just a snapshot into the stories Chris shared. Enjoy!
