The boys are back on Bare Knuckle Nation, and this episode is packed with hilarious stories from the NHL days.
Cam Janssen, Reed Low, Jamie Rivers, Tony Twist, and Jim “Soupy” Campbell look back at just how brutal old-school NHL training camps used to be — from Tony Twist’s ridiculous bench press battle to players fighting for roster spots and surviving some absolutely miserable fitness tests.
From Ron Hextall’s obsessive routines to Mario Lemieux’s dominance, old-school hockey stories, locker-room chaos, and plenty of chirping, Episode 5 has a little bit of everything.
This is Bare Knuckle Nation. Let’s go.
