Born in Saskatoon SK, I think it's safe to say we all know Mark from his days growing up in Elk Point AB.    He was undrafted & played his Junior 'A' with the Bonnyville Pontiacs. During his final season he led the AJHL in scoring & was the league MVP. He played one season for Western Michigan NCAA Div 1 & then signed in 2007 with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has since spent 10 years in the NHL playing 567 games split between Pittsburgh, Columbus, Edmonton & currently Winnipeg. His mindset on understanding his role as a 12th forward is humbling & a very interesting chat.    All episodes can also be found on Apple podcasts, Youtube & Spotify   New guests every Monday & Wednesday

Born & raised in Milestone SK. He made his broadcasting debut as a 20 year old for the P.A. Raiders of the WHL.

He spent 20 years with the Riders & we discussed some of the championships, the infamous 13th man & the beloved fans.

Originally from Irma AB Jason's playing days had him go through Junior A, NCAA Div 1, back to the WHL & then onto Pro in the ECHL. His career was cut short due to a baseball swing of the stick to the face (I kid you not), but it is his coaching career that sticks out. He was apart of the Spruce Grove Saints where he would win 4 AJHL championships, a CJHL coach of the year award and the honour of coaching Canada West at the U19 Junior A Challenge. He spent time with the Vancouver Giants of the WHL & now is the head coach/GM of the Vernon Vipers. All episodes can also be found on YouTube & Spotify

First off thank you to Ambrose for coming in & sharing his difficult story. Here is a guy that has talent oozing out whether it is in ball where he won national championships & played for team Canada or hockey where he played Junior 'A' & had a full ride up to Alaska NCAA Div 1. In this episode although I am talking to a talented athlete it is his story about his billet dad trying to molest him that has shook him to the core. This is one we all need to hear & I appreciate Ambrose sitting down to share his story.

Golfing with Michael Jordan thats pretty much the jumping off point for this one. Born & raised in Lloydminster Clarke was undrafted in the WHL bantam draft, but that hardly slowed him down.
