The boys welcome on an old Cole Harbour family friend who's got perspective on hockey as a player, coach, dad, and now web provider and podcast host. There's fun and relatable stories for all in this vast-ranging discussion, as the trio hit on:
-Big hockey events in Cole Harbour hockey growing up
-Their "big brother" and role model Chad
-Junior hat trick on evening TV (possibly only trick of career)
-Coaching days and what's important
-Coaching Sidney Crosby and when he knew he was beyond special
-Taking on a stepson through hockey and watching and guiding him
-His own son's trials and the lessons he taught the parents
-Son Connor's hockey dream and dad's pride in seeing him chip away (presently quite successfully in the QMJHL, mind you)
-New business venture providing league management "as it should be" (Visit GrayJay Web Solutions at
https://grayjaysolutions.com/ for details)
-Rode Trips podcast and how it inspired inviting guests onto Boulton from Boulton (

-Who would Chad take off a Boulton-Boulton-Boulton line to insert himself? (and more fun in our One-Timers segment)
-Way, way more
