On this week’s show, we are joined by Adam Oates, one of the greatest playmakers in hockey history - NHL Scouts felt he too was “too slow” as a junior, and he went un-drafted in 1982.  However, after then playing 3 years of U.S College hockey and working on his game at RPI,  in 1985 he signed the NHL's highest rookie contract in history (at the time) with the Detroit Red Wings, and went on to play 19 seasons in the NHL. He certainly proved his critics wrong, as his speed wasn’t an issue averaging over a point a game in the 1,337 NHL games he played. Oates ended his career with 1,420 regular season points and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012, and in 2017, was named one of the Top 100 players in NHL History. Great interview - very interesting stories about a fascinating NHL career - enjoy!
