About this episode

The episode features Erik Ruud discussing his journey in hockey, including challenges and a renewed passion for the game.

Erik Ruud joins the podcast and we dive into a tale filled with hockey, heartbreak, and perseverance. Affectionately known as "Ruudy" in the locker room, you will find talks on decisions for junior hockey, a slight hiatus from the game, and a man who fell back in love with it with game in a new light with his youngest taking it up. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did! https://www.beautyunis.com/ https://www.thegardensicehouse.com/ https://summitcustomsticks.com/ https://43degreesports.com/
