Summary: In this episode Clint Malarchuk shares some truly amazing stories about his life.   Malarchuk is best known for having survived a life-threatening injury during a 1989 NHL game when another player's skate blade sliced his carotid artery and jugular vein, causing immediate massive blood loss. We discuss his time as an NHL goaltender, how he nearly died 3 times and how he suffered from Anxiety, depression and OCD.  Clint's story is massively courageous and today he speaks publicly about his struggle for the benefit of others.
