    In this episode of Bucket Talk, Jeremy sits down with Charlie McAvoy Sr. inside TD Garden’s Heritage Hall to dive into the 100-year legacy of their family plumbing business in Long Island, NY. Charlie Sr. shares how the "earn it" mentality of the trades helped shape his son into one of the toughest defensemen in hockey. From early mornings in the plumbing truck to the world stage, that work ethic has come full circle as Charlie Jr. represents Team USA this month in Italy. It’s a raw look at how the grit of a tradesman built an Olympic superstar.
