On The Road: Adam Henrique [Episode 6]

On episode 6 of On The Road, Jeff is joined by Adam Henrique of the Edmonton Oilers, who opens up about his incredible journey through 14 NHL seasons — from his back-to-back Memorial Cup championships with the Windsor Spitfires, to scoring one of the biggest goals in New Jersey Devils history, and now chasing the Stanley Cup again in Edmonton. Henrique reflects on lessons learned from Lou Lamoriello, shares inside stories about Ilya Kovalchuk, and discusses what it’s like to play in a Canadian hockey market that lives and breathes every moment. He also talks about building his life in Muskoka, the balance between hockey and fatherhood, and his long-running charity golf tournament with Brandon Montour that’s raised over $500,000 for their hometown community.
