"I was ready to quit. I was ready to die."

"I met President Ronald Reagan. We had a parade for the team in DC."

"Every player has a role. It's incredibly hard to win Stanley Cups."

"Survivor's guilt is a real thing, and it's ok to talk about it."

"I had enough quiet time to last a lifetime."

Eddie Olczyk.  One of the American pioneers of the NHL. A member of the US Hockey Hall of Fame. Stanley Cup champion (yeah, THAT Ranger team).

He wouldn't agree, but he's also an NHL broadcasting legend.

He also beat stage 3 colon cancer.  His thoughts on the disease that has affected us all spoke to me in a way I needed. Thanks, Eddie.

His example on loving family, friends and the game is nothing short of inspirational.

Get to know him.

I'm your host Zak Kindrachuk.
