Rick DiPietro on The Cam and Strick Podcast Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

Rick DiPietro was taken first overall by the New York Islanders in the 2000 NHL draft, the 4th American and 2nd goalie ever drafted 1st overall, the first since 1968. Dipietro is best known for signing an incredible 15 year, $67 million dollar contract...yes, you read that right. It remains the longest contract in NHL history to this day. His career had its ups and downs, he suffered a string of injuries but would end up making one NHL All-Star team while also representing Team USA in the 2006 Olympics. With eight years remaining on his contract the islanders bought out the remainder of his deal. Although his career was cut short, this interview was not, an incredible conversation with a guy who was once considered a cant-miss prospect. This guy is a cool-ass dude who had a number of positives along his hockey journey. It wasn’t all bad. A unique story from one of the most recognizable names in Islanders history on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.

Marc Savard on The Cam and Strick Podcast Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Marc Savard has been through a lot. The good news is he’s also overcome a lot and today finds himself in a good spot. Meaning he’s happy and is able to reflect on all he accomplished as both an OHL superstar and an NHL All-Star. He entered the league playing with his idol Wayne Gretzky before dealing with a rough coaching situation in Calgary. His career took off in Atlanta where he teamed up with some of the best talents to ever play. He eventually landed in Boston which led to some great times and also some dark ones. Becoming a household name in a crazed sports market like Boston will make anyone feel on top of the world. Things changed following a blindside hit, courtesy of Matt Cooke. He talks about hitting rock bottom and the ultimate bounce back after his incredible overtime goal against Philadelphia. After diving into coaching he’s now back to focusing on his family full time. Most importantly he’s in a good spot mentally. One of the sickest playmakers of his era, Marc Savard tells his story on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.

Arron Asham on The Cam and Strick Podcast Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

Arron Asham is tough as shit. Sorry but that’s the best way to and probably the only way to put it. He played nearly 800 NHL games and had 3 seasons with over 100 penalty minutes. If his name doesn’t immediately ring a bell, you probably remember his notorious knockout of Jay Beagle and his “sleep” celebration right afterwards. He still feels bad about that by the way. He shared with us his experience and unique perspective from growing up indigenous, the problems his community faces, and how that shaped his career. He played for both the Islanders and Rangers, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. He’s the only player to score for every team in the Atlantic division. We cover his experience with a young Sidney Crosby, numerous fights with Cam, his battle with substance abuse, and excessive partying. That and much more on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.

Dino Ciccarelli on The Cam and Strick Podcast Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

Dino Ciccarelli is a Hall of Famer who we don’t hear enough about, he played over 1200 NHL games and scored over 600 goals. He is the definition of a player you hate to play against but love to play with. From his 50+ goal days in Minnesota to his time with the Russian five in Detroit, he could change his game to what it needed to be. At only 5 foot 10 inches, Ciccarelli was undersized, but you couldn’t tell by watching him, as he was in the middle of some of the craziest on-ice moments ever. From a stick incident that led to a day in jail, one of the most memorable sucker punches ever, and the Detroit/Colorado rivalry, he’s seen it all. Although he never won a cup, Dino Ciccarelli has an incredible underdog story that led to a legendary career. With stories involving guys like Scotty Bowman, Bob Probert, and much more, we have another can’t-miss episode on this edition of the Cam and Strick podcast.

Wayne Gretzky on The Cam and Strick Podcast Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Few athletes require no introduction. Simply because if you don't know who Wayne Gretzky is then we really can't help you. Arguably the most recognizable name in sports history, Wayne Gretzky is one of the most accomplished athletes to ever grace the face of the earth. The holder of 61 NHL records, Gretzky has more assists than the person with the second-most points in NHL history. Think about that for a minute. One of the most humble and genuine people you'll ever meet, Gretzky is the example every celebrity should follow. You won't meet a nicer person than Wayne. He's also our guest for the 99th episode of the Cam and Strick Podcast. We dive into a number of topics, hoping to capture the person and the personality of one of the most legendary figures of our time. Trying to show a side of "The Great One "you don't usually see or hear is the hope when talking to the greatest hockey player ever. Hopefully, we accomplished that. Wayne Gretzky on this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.
