The Williamsville, NY native discussed recently captaining the Chicago Wolves to a Calder Cup championship and what Chicago is like as an AHL city.

He describes some relationships with teammates, what Alex Lyon was doing in the team photo and answered a few rapid fire questions about playing golf. Brian and Martin wrapped the pod discussing three sports they always wanted to play more of.
