Imagine going 2,885 days between professional hockey games! That's what Cody Hodgson just did as he returned to professional hockey with the Milwaukee Admirals on a PTO on January 17, 2024. The first round pick of the Vancouver Canucks hadn't played since 2016 after being diagnosed with malignant hyperthermia. He joined Frank to talk about his road back to hockey, his disorder, how he spent his time away from hockey, when he knew he was ready to come back, how Eric Lindros supported his return, learning how to breathe with Wim Hof in the Netherlands, and how he got back into playing shape at 34-years-old.
