    393: Brooks Laich: Why Retirement Felt Like 30 Years of Failure | The HoneyDew with Ryan Sickler #393

    My HoneyDew this week is former NHL star Brooks Laich! Brooks joins me to Highlight the Lowlights of a life spent chasing the ultimate dream: winning the Stanley Cup. Brooks opens up about growing up in a small Canadian town, leaving home at 16 to pursue hockey, and turning down Division I college scholarships to bet everything on an NHL career. He shares stories from playing alongside Alex Ovechkin and the pressure of dedicating your life to one goal. Brooks gets brutally honest about retirement, why walking away without a Stanley Cup felt like accepting 30 years of failure, and the incredible story of how his stolen hockey memorabilia—including two game pucks—was recovered after a major drug bust. Be sure to check out Brooks travel booking platform WorldPlayground.co to save on your next trip! 🎟️See me live.
