Eric excelled in hockey at a young age. It ended up becoming a key to a lot of opportunity, and a lock out of a lot of other things.... His father's passing at the age of 10, in a way, became a catalyst.

Years later, during an junior hockey tryout, Eric gets called out by the opposing team's goalie.

Tune in to see what happens as he shares stories about his "Bull Durham-esk" hockey career which took him throughout the country landing him all the way into Toronto Canada...
