Episode 67: Brandon DeFazio, Part One

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome Brandon DeFazio to the Penalty Box. My paesano played one season in the Islanders organization, spending 2012-13 in Bridgeport. DeFazio annually put up solid numbers & was one of the premier power-forwards during his AHL tenure, earning him time in "the Show" with Vancouver. The second part of his career is something I call the "Brandon DeFazio World Tour". If you're looking for inspiration, look no further as this is the story of a player who was never drafted into the OHL, never drafted into the NHL but worked his ass off & achieved his ultimate goal. This is part one.
