DFO Rundown – Ep. 65: Mike McKenna Shares Minor League Stories & Why He's Joining DFO
Today on the DFO Rundown, Jason and Frank were joined by their newest teammate Mike McKenna.
They got into why he’s excited to be joining the team at Daily Faceoff and what he’ll be doing this season. Of course, they also talked to him about his professional career. He wore eight different NHL sweaters during his 13-year NHL career and played for over 20 different professional teams. With all that travelling, Mike has an abundance of stories and also gave us some great insight into the world of goaltending. He also shared his unique connection to the world of racing.
We went all the way back to the beginning of his career and Mike talked about being drafted, going to development camps, and how his career could have played out differently. He shared some great stories about the final year of his career as well, which was wild. He also shared why he’s interested in getting into the media world!
