The OHL Podcast with Don Edwards
from The OHL Podcast · host Mike Farwell
The knock was always that he was too small. But from junior to the pros, Don Edwards didn't listen. He just stopped pucks. From the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL to a Vezina Trophy with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, Edwards would go on to play for two more teams, including his childhood favourite Toronto Maple Leafs. He was also a member of Team Canada at the 1981 Canada Cup and his story about getting into prime physical condition is not one you'll soon forget. Off the ice, Edwards's life was marked with unspeakable tragedy and, if you don't yet know the story, you'll understand why he harbours ill-will towards Canada's legal system to this day, while repeatedly appealing to keep a convicted killer behind bars.The OHL Podcast is presented by Matt Smith Goaltending.
