Breaking the Ice: Fmr Player & Author Justin Davis on Hockey’s Culture, Concussions and the Need for Change

Former professional hockey player and author Justin Davis joins the show to discuss his new book, Breaking the Ice. Davis examines hockey’s culture of toughness, the long-term effects of concussions, the pressure injured players face to remain silent and why the sport needs stronger safeguards at every level. He also shares what he learned from seven people across the hockey world about fighting, player safety, investigative journalism and the changes needed to protect future generations.

Plus, Jason and Jeff break down the Brewers’ first World Series championship, what Milwaukee’s success says about scouting and roster construction, the Phillies’ offseason questions and Major League Baseball’s continuing labor concerns. They also discuss the Eagles’ five-game losing streak, the Union’s playoff push and the latest from around Philadelphia sports.
