Manage episode 312330961 series 3232648
On Episode 14 of the Growlers Nation Podcast, Chris sits down with self-proclaimed late-bloomer Evan Neugold. The pair discuss Evan's childhood journey which included stops in Washington, Singapore and Minnesota before finally settling in his home state of Connecticut.
Evan talks about failing to make his high school hockey team until his junior year and how an unfortunate bus accident during his SPHL days helped convert him from a forward to one of the ECHL's premier rearguards.
His path through the ranks of professional hockey isn't your typical one, as he paid out of pocket to earn his first look with an ECHL club.
In this week's Growlers Nation Q+A, Evan talks about how the Jellybean Row houses inspired his cross-continent move to Newfoundland and Labrador and how Newfoundland legend Adam Pardy helped shape his career.
Oh, and his recipe for a recovery shake might just be the best in professional hockey.
