In this raw and inspiring conversation, Gabriel Tinoco pulls back the curtain on his whirlwind journey—from raising daughters Keighley and Lea while juggling pro football to his pivotal move from the Cold Lake dynasty to the Calgary Gators. Hear how loyalty to family and team shaped his career, why he risked it all for a shot at the World Games in Greece, and how a life-changing talk with his mother redefined his path.
Gabriel reflects on overcoming injuries, navigating fatherhood in the spotlight, and the emotional weight of leaving a legacy. From late-night barber school sessions in Edmonton to scheming defenses with Coach Curtin in the Swamp, he reveals the sacrifices behind the glory. With insights on league rivalries, sleeper teams to watch, and his fiery reunion game against Cold Lake, this is a story about grit, growth, and what it means to chase gold, on and off the field.
