Kel Land Podcast Interview
from OldTimeHockeyUK Podcast Hosted by Ken Abbott
This episode looks back on a truly unique hockey career that spanned continents, leagues and eras. From learning the game in Germany, New Brunswick and Winnipeg, to the chaotic early days of pro hockey in the South West Hockey League, it's packed with stories rarely told. A chance conversation at a North American Indian hockey tournament brought him back to the country of his birth and into UK hockey. What followed was an extraordinary journey that began with the Sunderland Crowtree Chiefs, ended with the Paisley Pirates, and included 10 more UK clubs along the way. He speaks candidly about battles with the BIHA over import status, why he never slept on team buses, the personal cost of life in hockey, and his unfiltered views on the modern game. So much was covered that the interview was cut from 120 minutes to under 50—and for the first time ever, the episode also includes a bloopers section guaranteed to raise a smile.
