Everyone needs a Brad McCrimmon.⁣
⁣
My first mentor, D partner, and roommate. We called him “Beast” for a reason. 😂⁣
⁣
Brad helped guide me early in my career, on and off the ice. He was a wealth of knowledge and someone I could turn to through some difficult moments.⁣
⁣
Never underestimate the impact a great mentor can have. Brad's influence is something I still carry with me today.⁣
⁣
Who helped guide you?

The Beast was fantastic. His Flyers' D pairing with Mark Howe was one of the all-time great pairings. Rest in Peace, #10.
