Blake Sloan- Dallas Stars, Columbus Blue Jackets, Calgary Flames

How I Got Here with Corey Koskie

It is not easy to be a youth hockey player in the US in the 80’s. There are few teams ,the travel is crazy, and it is expensive. The path to the NHL is hard. It is even harder when you get cut from your bantam travel team, you have no interest from any professional teams while in college, and you have only played defense your whole career. Blake Sloan just starts playing forward and then he gets the call. Now he is thrusted into a Stanley Cup run with NHL legends. This episode talks about the journey that started in Illinois, ends in Germany, and the new path that is started at 38 years old --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/linklete/support
