Marty McSorley is a 2 time Stanley Cup Champion who played 17 seasons in the NHL. He is best known as Wayne Gretzky’s “protector” both with the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings., was a key part of the infamous 1988 trade that brought Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings. Beyond being a straight enforcer, McSorley had some notable offensive skills and assisted on Gretzky’s goal that broke Gordie Howe’s all time NHL points record in March of 1994. Marty was also on the wrong side of the most impactful “Illegal stick” calls in NHL Stanley Cup history during the 1993 Stanley Cup final against the Montreal Canadians. McSorely tells some great stories about all of these and much more! Enjoy!!

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!

Dave 'The hammer" Schultz is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Philadelphia Flyers. He was a feared enforcer and is the NHL record holder the most for most penalty minutes in a season (472!) A fan favourite, a cult hero, and a man whose legend was built with his fists… one of the most colourful personalities in NHL history. We had him here on the pod two years ago, and he was hinting at an upcoming book in the works, and now, almost exactly two years to the day, it has just been released - "HAMMERED - The Fight of My Life" by Dave Schultz. The book is getting great reviews, and for a player better known as a “feared fighter”, as an author, he offers one of the most honest, emotional, and human hockey books in years. We are proud to have him back on the OverTime Hockey Podcast to share details of both his life on & off the ice, and share some insight to one of the most powerful books about life as an NHL Enforcer.

We are so excited to have a “Miracle on Ice” - Olympic Gold Medalist – Ken Morrow join us today!! He was the first player in hockey history to win an Olympic Gold Medal and a Stanley Cup in the same season! After the most epic season a player could possible have, Ken didn’t rest on his laurels - he went on to win 4 straight Stanley Cups as an integral part of the New York Islanders dynasty in the 1980s..!! He was one of the most dependable and reliable defensemen of his era, and was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995! However, despite his 4 Stanley Cups and his ‘Miracle On Ice' Olympic Gold Medal, he has yet to receive the same recognition in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Morrow shares some very interesting insights on how a group of U.S. College players were able to knock off the feared Soviet National Olympic team, and how that experience helped groom a 9 year NHL career with 4 Stanley Cups..! Enjoy!!
