It feels unbelievable to be able to wake up every single day and not care what people think of me, because I don't have to worry what people think about me if they want to judge me on my past.

On this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with Bryan Smolinski, a former NHL center who has skated through both triumphs and trials. Smolinski, who played over a thousand NHL games, shares candid reflections on his journey from the rink to real life.
The conversation dives into the highs of professional hockey, the role of community, and the grounding power of personal values and family. But it doesn't stop there. They also explore the darker sides of life, discussing addiction, homelessness, and the importance of mental health in sports. Bryan's story is a testament to resilience and the ongoing battle for inclusivity in hockey.
