We are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown! Today on the pod, we were joined by another former member of the Danbury Trashers: Mike Rupp! He is also a veteran of over 600 NHL games and now works with the NHL Network, but we spent a big part of the interview chatting about his time with the most talked about team in the hockey world right now.

Mike shared a bunch of stories that didn’t make the cut for the documentary and talked about how he got connected to the Trashers, his first few games there, and some of his favourite moments from his time with the team.
He also went on the talk a little bit about the upcoming NHL season.
