Holliston native Mike Condon is a goalie for the Ottawa Senators and he talkswith host Tommy Cassell.

Condon, who graduated from Belmont Hill, signed a three-year $7.2 million contract in June to be the backup goaltender for the Senators, a NHL team for the capital of Canada. Condon will be starting his second year with the Senators in September when training camp opens.

“I put the pads on the first time in my driveway with my brother shooting tennis balls at me,” Condon tells Cassell. “And all the kids in the neighborhood saw it, they come, and now they are shooting tennis balls and all of sudden you are playing goalie and that’s what you are doing.”

He talks about being the first guy out of the tunnel when the Penguins raised the Stanley Cup banner, despite not being on the team the year before, and what it was like playing in the Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium on New Year’s Day in 2016.

Getting ready for the Winter Classic he thought, “I’m walking into the house Tom Brady built.”

He played 55 games for the Montreal Canadiens in the 2015-2016 season. “I was just ecstatic to have a job for the next year but when I told my dad and my brother there was kind of a pause on the phone there. It was kinda like a Boston kid going to go play for the Yankees,” Condon says to Cassell.

He also played one game for the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2016-2017 before being traded to the Senators.

In addition to growing up in Holliston, Condon also lived in Natick and Needham with his father during middle school and high school.
