Proud to have our good friend Glenn Healy join us this week! Glen is a Stanley Cup Champion with the 1994 New York Rangers, is 15 year year NHL veteran, and his ‘stand-on-his-head” goaltending was largely responsible for one of the biggest upsets in NHL history when the New York Islanders knocked off the 2 time defending Stanley Cup Champions, Pittsburgh Penguins led by legends Mario Lemieux & Jaromir Jagr in the 2nd round of the 1993 Stanley Cup Playoffs.  Even with all of his success on the ice as a player, Healy is creating an even better legacy as the Executive Director and President of the NHL Alumni Association. Since being hired in 2017, Healy has  focused on creating a successful mandate & structure in helping all NHL Alumni members transition from on-ice careers to successful, healthy lives away from the game. Not an easy task - chronic pain, addictions, mental health, and financial challenges are challenges for many players, particularly the NHL players who played before big salaries became more prevalent in the past few years… A tremendous player, and many say an even better leader in his capacity as leader of the NHL Alumni Association!!  - so pleased to have Glenn Healy join our show this week! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
