## Resource

Thirty-three-year-old hockey writer Blitz, a Brooklyn-born Rangers fanatic who once slept outside MSG for tickets, spills wild tales of his gritty journey—from subway rides at midnight with a hatchet for protection to defending legends like Gordie Howe. He sees himself as a protector on the ice, not a fighter, and draws a sharp line between hockey’s dirty fights and boxing’s noble one-on-one battles. His story reveals the unsung heroes who step up to shield teammates, turning passion into purpose. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
