Chris Beaudry has lived through great tragedy, and suffered pain many of us could never imagine. The former Humboldt Broncos assistant coach recalls the tragic events of April 6th, 2018. Remarkably, it was the second tragic hockey team bus accident he’d been involved in. Beaudry’s story is one of unthinkable grief. But also of healing, hope, and helping others deal with loss.
The greats are often seen as super human and Hailey Wickenheiser is no exception. Even her teammates are in awe of her, often to the point of intimidation, and take away her ability to see and she'll still find a way to get it done. Enjoy this tale of how extreme focus can lead to an unfortunate mishap.
No two coaches are the same. They all have their own approach to the game, their own methods of motivation. Former NHLer Dave Poulin recounts learning this first hand, after being ripped out of Philadelphia via trade to Boston, where mid-slump, he found himself in a bag skate unlike any he'd ever seen before.
Mike Johnson. Great hockey player. Great broadcaster. All around great guy. Who could possibly hate him? You could never picture him being disrespectful, but as we learn in Episode 12 of beauties, things are not always what they seem.
Paul Bissonnette, better known as Biz Nasty, had a storied hockey career. Perhaps more off the ice than on, but storied nonetheless. So much so, that the stories from that career, have propelled him to podcasting superstardom and made him one of the most recognizable names in the game. On this episode of Beauties we peak at a couple of those stories that gave him such notoriety as well as the last story of his on ...
Whenever Wayne took the ice, the way he could make it all seem so natural, you’d swear he had a sixth sense. So his sense of humour should come as no surprise. This episode focuses on the verbal joust, and subsequent mic drop moment, that changed the course of the 1985 Stanley Cup Final.
On the Eve of the Nation’s favourite tournament, we look back at one of the most memorable moments in Canadian Juniors history.

From the ice to the pod, to the drinks on ice, this guy has seen and done it all. Reminiscing about his ’06-’07 Penguins Penguins teammates, Ryan Whitney tells the ultimate tale of teamwork, selfless sacrifice and brotherhood among players…and then he tops it with a story about sitting on the toilet!
This tale is one of both pain and glory. One of conquering fear, a tale of stepping up in the face of greatness, without a single hesitation. A tale of lacing them up and showing them how it's done. Not bad for someone who "never played the game".
From dealing with pesky mascots to trying to make the grade with the head coach; It's not easy being a goalie. Jamie 'Noodles' McLennan tells us two hilarious goalie-coach interactions that stuck out to him from his professional hockey career.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
