76: Hlacar-izard Interview with Matthew Hlacar

Cut by Ottawa, cut by Kitchener, cut by London, then signed as an undrafted walk-on and finishing as a Memorial Cup champion: Matthew Hlacar's story is the one the AudBalls have wanted to tell since he first dropped the gloves at the Aud. Now a Brantford Bulldog, he sits down to relive the 10-guys rule Ando preached, the deadline that made the room believe, the Sault Ste. Marie shootout winner that lives in AudPod lore, and the dad who begged him not to get suspended before the hotel was paid off. Plus Muay Thai at Darkside, favourite dance partner Ryder Boulton (now a teammate), the Arky mattress prank, and whether he is ready to walk into the visitors' room at the Aud.Follow us on⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcastWatch us on⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcast-kitchenerrangersWebsite | theaudpod.com Email | [email protected]:00 — Cold open: undrafted to Memorial Cup champion0:49 — Thoughts with Matthew Mayich2:05 — Brad Flynn, the 13th forward, and leaning into the physical game4:28 — Cut by Ottawa, Kitchener and London, then signed5:42 — We got 10 guys: Ando’s rule and the toughest room in the league7:00 — The deadline, Woolley, and we didn’t load up for nothing8:03 — A Brantford Bulldog now, a Hamilton kid close to home9:02 — Tossed from the game, then sitting in the stands with dad10:29 — Silky hands: the Sault Ste.
