CSR 23 Tom Lynn

An attorney who is now an agent certified by the National Hockey League Players Association and has a long career in hockey as a front office executive, including as the Assistant General Manager and Director of Hockey Administration and Legal Affairs of the NHL's Minnesota Wild (2000 to 2009). He wrote the book, "How to Build an NHL Franchise from Scratch: The First Era of the Minnesota Wild." He talks here about overcoming the stigma - the labels that people put - on being an agent, plus he gives insight on steering young athletes toward charitable considerations, and even how he has to practice what he preaches to his clients in similar decisions that he has to make with his own (six) children.
