Originally aired on December 4, 2025, former Binghamton Black Bears fan favorite and two-time Commissioner's Cup Champion Don Olivieri returns to the Power Play Post Show for another great conversation!

Don may not have played during the 2025-26 season, but his connection to the Binghamton Black Bears and their fans remains as strong as ever. One of the most popular former players to wear the Black Bears jersey, Don has become a regular guest on the show, always bringing his personality, humor and honest perspective to the conversation.

In this conversation, Don talks about what life has been like since stepping away from professional hockey and the next chapter he has begun for himself, including his time in the fire academy. He reflects on the transition away from the game, the challenges and experiences that have come with pursuing a new career, and why hockey and the friendships he built during his playing days will always remain such an important part of his life. The conversation also brings plenty of memories, laughs and stories from his time with the Black Bears and the championship runs that helped make him a fan favorite in Binghamton.

As always, when Don Olivieri joins the Power Play Post Show, you never quite know where the conversation is going to go—and that's what makes him one of our favorite returning guests!

So whether you remember Don from his days helping the Black Bears win two Commissioner's Cup Championships, or you've enjoyed his previous appearances on the show, sit back and enjoy this re-release of one of our conversations with a player who will always have a special connection to Binghamton and Black Bears fans.
