Eric excelled in hockey at a young age. It ended up becoming a key to a lot of opportunity, and a lock out of a lot of other things…. His father’s passing at the age of 10, in a way, became a catalyst.
Years later, during an junior hockey tryout, Eric gets called out by the opposing team’s goalie. A coach, “eggs him on” to meet the goalie center rink for a fight to prove his loyalty to the prospective team. Eric throws off his gloves, goes into the rink, and things get wild! Needless to say, a few coaches and programs take interest in Eric after that.
Following that fight, Eric decides he’s done with high school and he’s ready to go pro and hit the road….. But first, he needs to get expelled… Tune in to see what happens as he shares stories about his “Bull Durham-esk” hockey career which took him throughout the country landing him all the way into Toronto Canada…
