    Jim Playfair - NHL Coach and Player - But Also Dylan's Dad

    From first-round NHL draft pick to longtime hockey coach, Jim Playfair has seen nearly every corner of the hockey world. After breaking in with Edmonton and Chicago and grinding through the WHL, AHL, IHL, and ECHL, he moved behind the bench and built a résumé that includes ECHL Coach of the Year, a Calder Cup title, an NHL head-coaching stint with the Calgary Flames, and years as an associate coach in Arizona and with the Edmonton Oilers. He’s now back developing young talent with the Prince George Cougars. Known for his intensity (yes, there is that infamous stick breaking moment) but Jim Playfair also built a reputation as a straight-up communicator who knows how to get the most out of his players on and off the ice. Not only does Jim have an impressive career, he’s also Dylan Playfair’s Dad!  Dylan, Ty and Jim dig into Jim’s path through the leagues, the reality of coaching at every level, what he’s learned from decades in the game, and how their family’s hockey background shaped each of them in different ways. Bromance is made possible by Charm Diamond Centres and produced by by coastal in partnership with iHeart Radio.

    From the NHL to Shoresy - It's legendary storyteller Terry Ryan

    Today on the show Dylan Playfair and Ty Smith are joined by Terry Ryan,  a man who’s lived about five lifetimes’ worth of stories already and he’s here to tell them. Born in St. John’s and raised in Mount Pearl, Terry was drafted 8th overall by the Montreal Canadiens, making him one of the highest NHL draft picks ever to come out of Newfoundland and Labrador. His pro career may not have unfolded the way he expected, but Terry went on to make his mark in ball hockey, representing Team Canada at six world championships. Off the ice, he’s reinvented himself as an actor, popping up in hit shows like Shoresy, Jason Momoa's Frontier and Hudson & Rex. He's also an author with two memoirs that pull no punches about the highs and lows of life in hockey and beyond.  In true Terry fashion, on his 47th birthday, he suited up for the Newfoundland Growlers in the ECHL becoming the oldest player to ever hit the ice in that league, complete with a fight for good measure of course.  Terry Ryan is a storyteller, a scrapper, and a guy who knows the value of finding good friends and hanging onto them for life.   Bromance is brought to you by Charm Diamond Centres.
