Where Are They NowOne of the staples in my broadcast journalism career has been a feature
called ‘Where Are They Now' where fans catch-up with former hockey players who had terrific professional careers
and are now off to new and exciting challenges in the real world. Some players have turned to coaching whether at the professional,
collegiate or junior level, while others have turned to the business world either using hockey as part of that or completely
getting out of the game. What I enjoy the most about 'Where Are They Now' is hearing stories about
experiences they have had as professional hockey players and also learning about how they are making the transition to the
‘real world.' This page entitled 'Where Are They Now', will offer a brief synopsis of the player's professional
career and then give fans a chance to hear the interviews uninterrupted.
