hockey fights

Gavin and Stephen discuss the intersection of law and sports, specifically focusing on incidents in hockey where players have been criminally charged or sued for their actions on the ice. 

There have been high-profile cases, such as those involving NHL players Dino Ciccarelli, Marty McSorley, and Todd Bertuzzi, who were all charged with assault for their actions during games. They also discuss a recent case in England where a player was charged with involuntary manslaughter after his skate blade cut another player's throat, resulting in his death. 

There is potential for both criminal and civil liability in sports. Players need to understand the potential consequences of their actions. And there are also challenges in determining damages in such cases, particularly when a player's professional career is ended due to an injury.

Sean and Brad don't know anything about hockey.  They know nothing.  Icing.  What is it?  They try to discuss a movie about hockey without talking about hockey at all.  But at least Seann William Scott is charming and funny.  But do us a favor and don't watch this movie with your parents or small children.  But the movie has its moments.  Blades of Steel.  And wayne Gretzky.  And Gordie Howe.  That's all they know.  Also, don't get confused between Sean Williams and Seann WilliamssssScott.

Next movie: Elvis's version of Kid Galahad (1962)

Kid Galahad isn't streaming anywhere, not even to rent.  It's doubtful that your local library even has it.  We had to buy the DVD from Amazon.  We don't suggest you do that.

Where do we start with Ron Duguay? Or is it Dugs? Regardless, the guy's an absolute legend, but in a different category than you might be used to when it comes to former NHL players. He may not have made the Hockey Hall of Fame, but there has to be some Hall of Fame for what this guy accomplished off the ice. They say pimpin aint easy, but Ron Duguay might beg to differ. His party life in the 70's and 80's is stuff legends are made of, hanging out with celebrities, supermodels, actresses, and even professional tennis players are the stories we are here for. His hair alone separates him from the rest of the pack. In a sport that may be considered lesser than the others, no one could deny this Bon Jovi look alike. To put the icing on the cake, he doesn't hold back, anything, in this conversation. He certainly delivered and did his part in this interview. A conversation unlike any other, Ron Duguay on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.  

Brantt Myhres story is far from negative one, sure he battled serious drug and alcohol addiction, was in and out of rehab centers, and is the only player in the history of the NHL to be permanently banned from the NHL.  This is a story about overcoming the odds, defeating addiction,  writing a bestselling book (Pain Killer...A Memoir of Pain Killer Addiction) and being sober for 13 years. This is about helping others by being man enough to open up and share his story. We at the Cam and Strick Podcast have never been more proud to have a guest on than we are to share the story of Brantt Myhres. A shit-kicking NHL tough guy who went through a serious battle to eventually land where he is right now...on top. He tells his story so eloquently, with such bravery, it's hard not to be overcome with emotion when listening to him tell his story. Sure Brantt Myhres has done some interviews, but never one like this. Brantt Myhres and his riveting, detailed, account of partying and hockey, tells all in this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast. 

The Sutter family is hockey royalty, everyone knows that. Brian Sutter is the ultimate Captain and the leader of the Sutter clan. When he speaks you listen. He's also one of the top cattle ranchers in Canada. But when you think of Brian Sutter you think of hard work, character, and the St. Louis Blues. In St. Louis, Sutter is an absolute icon to a generation of Blues fans. Storytime with Brian Sutter is an instant classic and you'll feel better about yourself after listening. What was it like growing up in the Sutter household? How did six brothers make it to the NHL at the same time? What about the brother that didn't make it? What were his parents like and how did they all become great hockey players? The history of the Sutter family, and then some, in this edition of The Cam and Strick Podcast. 

Longtime NHL player and Head Coach Gerard Gallant joins the Cam and Strick Podcast. For a stretch in his career, he was as good of an all-around player as you'd find in the NHL. He'd team up with the likes of Bob Probert and Joey Kocur, beat the crap out of you, and then bury a game-winner all in the same game. No surprise he's been a great coach only to be unappreciated in his last couple of stops. Florida and Vegas dropped him with virtually no warning and many people would suggest with very little reason as well. He led Vegas to the Stanley Cup final in their inaugural season only to be on the street two years later. Same in Florida where the infamous taxi cab photos were seen worldwide. It won't be long before he's back behind an NHL bench as many have him pegged to land with the expansion Seattle Kraken or back in Detroit with his buddy Steve Yzerman. Enjoy Gerard Gallant on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast. 

Geoff Courtnall was one of the most well-known names in hockey during the 19990's. His speed, physical play, and scoring ability made him one of the best all-around forwards in the game. No one could piss you off or get under your skin quite like Geoff Courtnall. He also has overcome some serious obstacles including the death of his father when he was 15 years old and having to retire as a player because of repeated concussions. He also quit drinking back in 2010 thanks to a caring friend by the name of Cam Neely. Courtnall, the older brother of Russ Counrtnall, is also one of the best people you'll meet. Always a fan favorite and a popular player in the dressing room, Courtnall definitely left his mark in the NHL. His life after hockey hasn't been too bad either. From opening up a hospital for mental illness to several other business ventures, Courtnall is a bright businessman who has achieved great financial success since hanging up his skates. He also dated Sarah McLachlan which at one time created headlines throughout North America. From blowing up Jeremy Roenick to running Los Angeles Kings goalie Jamie Storr we get everything with Geoff Courtnall on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast

Pat Maroon joined us live for an exclusive sit-down with the two-time Stanley Cup Champion. A career that's had plenty of ups and downs and full of perseverance has led to the NHL veteran becoming one of the more accomplished power forwards in the game today. Known as the Big Rig, Maroon has earned his way towards playing in over 500 career NHL games. Recently married, life is good for Maroon who provides an honest review of himself and his career in this beautiful conversation. You think you know Pat Maroon, but do you? 

When the NHL Director of Player Safety speaks, you listen. Because he hardly speaks. In a rarely given interview, Parros provides a little transparency into the process that creates some of the most talked-about situations every season: player discipline. Is there a harder or more scrutinized job in all of hockey? Seriously, how would you do if you were in Parros's shoes? Be honest with yourself. This guy has his balls on the line every time he has to make a decision, and he does a helluva job at it. Seriously, of all the individuals who have held this position, the Princeton University grad may be the best person to ever do it. How long he remains in the position we shall see. It's a thankless job that requires full attention 24/7. This guy watches more hockey than anyone in the world, and we're not sure that's such a good thing. Parros is widely known for three things...fighting as a player, graduating from an Ivy League school, and his beautiful mustache. We dive deep into all three. He also won a Stanley Cup in 2007 with Anaheim and had a really strong playing career. Look for Parros run his own NHL Club one day.  An exclusive interview with George Parros on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast. 

Scott Mellanby played over 1,400 games in his NHL career, so he might have one or two stories to share. If you don't know much about Mellanby and how competitive he was as a player, google him. He fought tough guys, scored goals, and was one of the best leaders of his generation. His post-playing career has been just as impressive. From scouting to coaching to working in management, Mellanby has put his playing experience to good use. He's now the Assistant General Manager of the Montreal Canadians and hoping to get a shot at running his own team. Mellanby opens up about the disappointment of not winning a Stanley Cup as a player and how that may have impacted his inability to land a GM job. Mellanby did play in two Stanley Cup finals during his career including in 1996 where he famously killed a rat in the Panthers dressing room which started a full-on rat hysteria in south Florida. He talks about his experience growing up with his father Ralph who was the long-time Executive Producer of Hockey Night in Canada and is responsible for hiring the legendary Don Cherry. We go deep with Scott Mellanby on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast. 

Michael Haley, one of the last true tough guys remaining in the NHL today. Sure there are guys like Milan Lucic, Tom Wilson, and of course Ryan Reaves still out there but even Haley goes about his business a little differently. An Oshawa native, Haley has fought his way towards carving out a nice NHL career. He's bounced around a bit but those who have played with Haley have nothing but respect for this guy. He also opens up about some personal issues he's overcome away from the game. He stepped away from the Florida Panthers a few seasons ago to get the help he needed. At the end of the day, Haley is exactly who we hoped he'd be. A cool-ass dude with a story of how he went from playing in the ECHL to making a name for himself in the NHL. Michael Haley on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast. 

Is there a tougher player in the history of the NHL? Depending on who you ask but those who know will tell you, Joey Kocur threw the hardest right hand ever, period. To say he hurt people is an understatement. He did exactly that and then some. A true intimidator, a throwback enforcer, Kocur will forever be known as a shit-kicker and a winner. A three-time Stanley Cup winner. Kocur was on the historic 1994 New York Rangers team that won the Cup, but he made his mark and is best known as a Detroit Red Wing and the other half of the "Bruise Brothers" with fellow hockey legend Bob Probert. In fact, Kocur argues that Probert belongs in the Hall of Fame. A native of Kelvington, Saskatchewan Kocur along with Wendell Clark and Barry Melrose are a few of the legends to call Kelvington home. A conversation to remember, he doesn't do many interviews but he did us, Joey Kocur, straight from his cabin in the middle of the forest, on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast. 

Is Milan Lucic the toughest player in the NHL today? Don't worry, we ask him for his opinion. At one point, Lucic was considered one of the top all-around power forwards in the game. He entered the league taking on all comers, and now 958 games later he hasn't changed. His offensive production may have tho, and he explains why that may have happened. He grew up as an NHL player in the Boston Bruins organization where he was a core player on their 2011 Stanley Cup-winning team. Now he's a role player who can still impact the game in a variety of ways. He's also a great person who gives great interviews. Milan Lucic on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.
