In this episode, we explore Charlie's close-knit family, his early love for hockey, and the influences that shaped his career. Charlie opens up about the strong work ethic instilled in him by his father, the pride he takes in his family's plumbing business, and how he's navigated the challenges of professional hockey. We also discuss his memorable experiences in the NHL, including his path to joining the Bruins, his time playing for the U.S. National Team, and his dreams of winning a Stanley Cup.
