The Real Reason Ice Capades Fired Scott Hamilton
About this episode
Scott Hamilton shares his remarkable life story, including his battles with illness and the creation of Stars on Ice after being fired by Ice Capades.
Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton joins Sage Steele for one of the most remarkable life stories in sports. Scott opens up about the childhood illness that baffled doctors from Toledo to Boston Children's, being adopted at six weeks old, and the discovery 35 years later that finally explained everything. He shares how getting fired by Ice Capades led him to create Stars on Ice, the disastrous first show that literally caught fire, why he threw his Olympic broadcast binder in the trash, and the moment Kristi Yamaguchi changed the tour forever. Scott also reveals the rule that got him through stage 3 testicular cancer and a brain tumor, the lesson his mother taught him during her own cancer battle, meeting his wife Tracy, adopting two children from Haiti, and the two kinds of criticism every person needs to learn to filter. From living in a friend's basement with a gold medal to selling out Madison Square Garden, this is Scott Hamilton unfiltered on faith, family, failure, and fighting for joy.
