In the finale of On The Road, Jeff Marek sits down with Sam Dickinson, one of the most decorated junior defensemen of his era and the newest first-round pick of the San Jose Sharks for a rain-soaked cottage-country conversation. Fresh off a Memorial Cup championship, a CHL Defenseman of the Year season, and a dominant run with the London Knights, Dickinson lifts the curtain on his journey—from Toronto Marlies days, to being traded to London, to skating alongside NHL stars in Muskoka, and stepping into Sharks rookie camp for the first time.
