Episode 37 - Barry Beck - Hockey and living with trauma

Send us Fan MailIn today’s episode of our Joint Dynamics Intelligent Movement podcast series Andrew talks with former NHL New York Rangers Captain (for 5 years) Barry Beck. Barry discusses his life that led him to the NHL, playing with, and along side other Ice Hockey greats such as Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe, Guy Lafleur, and Mark Pavelich. He shares his highlights on the ice and off the ice at Studio 54, and listening to Village People star Felipe Rose at a Japanese resaurant in New York in the 80s.We then transition to his current life and dealing with the trauma of losing his only Son, Brock, to a violent death in a road rage incident and then his mate, Mark Pavelich (Pav), to mental illness. Barry openly shares the depths of where living through those traumas took him and what has come out of the other side with his passion towards helping others with fallinstars.org, the Brock and Mark scholarship fund, and raising awareness of mental health.The "second period” of this conversation is the rawest of all our discussions here on the JD podcast, equalling that of the later half of episode 20 with Emily Lola Tan and her experience of a journey through the healing of cancer.Links Fallinstars.orgFB https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Mental-Health-Service/FallinStars-100408822379719/Brock and Mark Scholarship fundEpisode 20 https://uk-podcasts.co.uk/podcast/joint-dynamics-intelligent-movement-series/episode-20-emily-lola-tan-a-journey-through-the-hejointdynamics.com.hk
