We all knew, if you're trained, I think so, I think so too, like I, as in like, I'm not so sure about the whole concussion things.
Picture this: two fierce competitors on the ice, each determined to outdo the other, suddenly find themselves not just teammates, but lifelong friends. In this heartwarming episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with WHL alumni Michael Hengen to reminisce about their unique journey from arch rivals to inseparable friends. Both hailing from British Columbia's Lower Mainland, Leavold and Hengen's paths crossed early in their minor hockey careers.
Leavold played for Port Coquitlam, while Hengen skated for the prestigious Burnaby Winter Club. Their rivalry was intense—Leavold even admits he was scared of Hengen during U-16 tryouts. But everything changed when they both made Team Fraser Valley and later played together for the Swift Current Broncos in the WHL. In this candid conversation, they discuss the highs and lows of their hockey careers, the challenges they faced, and the life lessons they've learned along the way.
They touch on the impact of concussions, the importance of proper training, and how their friendship helped them navigate tough times. Whether you're a hockey fan or someone looking for a story of resilience and camaraderie, this episode is sure to inspire.
