Summary
A Canadian dad in South Korea picks up hockey in his forties—not for glory, but to pass down his Canadian identity to his newborn son. Starting from zero, he stumbles, falls, and embarrasses himself—but keeps going, fueled by visions of his son in a tiny jersey. From hunting gear across Seoul to getting a stick shipped from Florida, he turns a quirky passion into a cultural anchor. Now, months in, he’s improving, bonding with teammates, learning Korean, and rediscovering his roots. His ultimate goal? To teach his son hockey—and what it means to be Canadian. And for now, his son’s simple wish to be just like him? That’s all the connection he needs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
