O Canada! Conversations with Ken Dryden & Barney Bentall.

Hall of Fame goaltender Ken Dryden never thought he'd play in the NHL. It wasn't until the six-time Stanley Cup champion won his first exhibition game that he started to believe he might belong in The Show. Singer/songwriter Barney Bentall's raised more than $5M for charity, touring across Canada with his band The Caribou Express. What inspired these two men to reach their true potential? How have they overcome adversity in their personal and professional lives? What's the most important message they'd share with their fellow Canadians? Find out in this episode of Real Talk.  2:30 | Ken Dryden talks about his hockey and political career, and why he reconnected with more than 30 classmates 60 years later for his new book "The Class".  CHECK OUT KEN'S BOOK: https://reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2023/11/ken-and-company/ 38:50 | Barney Bentall chats about the connection between music and mental health ahead of his October 28 show in Sherwood Park in support of CASA.  GET TICKETS TO BARNEY BENTALL ON OCTOBER 28 @ FESTIVAL PLACE: https://casamentalhealth.org/events/barney-bentall-concert/ EMAIL US: [email protected]  BECOME A REAL TALK PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/ryanjespersen FAIRMONT JPL FIRST RESPONDERS APPRECIATION RATE: https://www.jasper-park-lodge.com/off...
