Everybody has always said 'If you want the real story, talk to the trainers!' In this episode from the spring of 2022, Howie sits down with Brian Patafie. Brian was a hockey trainer for 44 years. By the time of this conversation, Brian was coming to the end of his hockey life and about to embark on his career in stand-up comedy. He is an open book and he tells stories from all his time in the hockey world. Brian worked in Junior hockey, the minor pro leagues, Europe and the National Hockey League and he spills the tea about Chuck Fletcher, Brian Kilrea, Flames owner Harley Hotchkiss, Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur and so many many more big names. He tells the stories from in the rooms and under the stands. This is a MUST-LISTEN. Great for long car rides or when you're working in the yard or the kitchen.
