Some great memories, big moments, and a collection of epic goal calls from Steve Sabourin. I was lucky to be a small part of it.

    16: Forgiveness and Our Responsibility

    In this episode, John opens up about growing up in a home affected by domestic violence, and how the rink, coaches, and the love of the game became his escape and support system. He reflects on the role forgiveness has played in moving forward and finding peace with the past. This episode isn’t about looking for sympathy—it’s about awareness and action. Domestic violence is happening in families right now, and if you sense someone may be in a dangerous situation, stepping up could change their life. It’s a raw, honest conversation about resilience, forgiveness, family, and the responsibility we all share to look out for others.
