This is one of our craziest interviews yet - Lyle Odelein, a 16 year NHL veteran and Stanley Cup Champion with the 1993 Montreal Canadians joins us this week!! Lyle is the current Canadians record holder for most assists in a single game by a defenceman – 5 (co-holds the record with Doug Harvey & Sheldon Souray). In addition to his 7 years with the Habs, he also played 4 years with the New Jersey Devils, in 2000-01 became the very first team captain of the expansion Columbus Blue Jackets. Here is where the crazy part comes in - in 2018, Lyle nearly lost his life, spending 60 days in a coma, became paralyzed and went through a heart valve transplant as well as kidney & liver transplants – all in the same day - to save his life!! Lyle has made a full recovery and joins us here today - so happy to be joined by Lyle Odelein!!
