Host John Cullen travels to Penticton, British Columbia, home of the Ashley Homestore Classic, to interview Mike McEwen. The 4-time Manitoba champion and 2018 Olympic Trials runner-up talks to John about one of the more up-and-down careers an elite athlete in our sport has had, from his struggles coming out of juniors to his new team with long-time friend Reid Carruthers. The discussion gets very in-depth and personal as Mike discusses quitting his job to play in a Canada Cup, the long road to finally winning his first Buffalo, what it means to be the world's #1 team, and just how close they came to calling it quits in 2014. Mike also talks about entering his peak performance condition at the 2018 Olympic Trials, and how all those losses trained him for that moment. Produced by Daniel Cuzzetto.
