We recorded this interview with Jack Pridham last summer, when the big question was whether he'd even come back to Kitchener. He told us he wanted to win. Spoiler: he did. Memorial Cup and everything. We're bringing this one back so you can hear the whole story fresh, knowing how it ends. Jack walks us through the NCAA rule change that sent him sprinting out of West Kelowna, the rookie lap at the Aud that started a little too early, the Michigan goal, and the penalty shot in Game 6 vs Windsor that the Aud will never forget. One of our favourite conversations, and it only hits harder now.
