In this episode, the Sick Man steps onto the ice to talk about one of hockey’s strongest traditions: fighting.How it began. How it survived. Who does it. And why the sport that prides itself on speed and skill still makes room for a man whose job description includes punching people in the face. Along the way, he examines the culture that produced it, and the enduring legend of the “Polite Canadian.” Featuring real-life hockey enforcer Steve Hughes, who explains the mentality, duties, and code of the man who fights… while somehow managing not to injure the Sick Man. This is Enforcer.Support the showHost: Brad Cartner Show Producer: Greg O’Brien Sound Engineer: Derek Welsman Music: Brad Cartner Officer Wilfert: Adam Carter FOR FULL PODCAST DETAILS, NEWS AND DIRECTORIES visit us on our MAIN WEBSITE at https://www.sickmantalking.ca/ or visit our HOST WEBSITE on BuzzSprout at https://sickmantalkingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Keep up to date and LIKE US ON FACEBOOK at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784Join our Facebook Community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113434209965784/ and on INSTAGRAM at https://www.instagram.com/luigivampa44/ SUPPORT & DONATE TO SICK MAN TALKING AT https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sickmantalking https://www.buzzsprout.com/2352199/support QUESTIONS OR COMMENT DROP US AN EMAIL AT sickmantalking@gmail.com
