Chris 'Knuckles' Nilan

from The Pete Sousa Show

Chris Nilan's NHL career was a total longshot and after years of abusing alcohol and opiates so was his chance at sobriety. But, as he will tell you, there's always hope. 'Knuckles', a nickname he earned through 13 years as an NHL enforcer, not only defied the odds in pro hockey but also in recovery. Now, when he's not carrying the message of recovery, he's sharing his quick wit and straight shooting on his podcast 'Raw Knuckles'. Chris' amazing life includes a Stanley Cup, a relationship he couldn't avoid with Whitey Bulger and the miricle of sobriety. *The "Nilan Clip" can just be put between the intro and start of the conversation. https://www.knucklesnilan.com/the-podcast https://www.knucklesnilan.com/
