Darryl Sydor
On this episode of Blindsided, we welcome Darryl Sydor. Darryl is the current co-owner of the Kamloops Blazers. Before that he was a defenseman in the National Hockey League. He won two Stanley Cups, the first with the Dallas Stars and the second with the Tampa Bay Lightning. But throughout his career Darryl struggled with body-image issues. He developed an eating disorder. And when his playing career ended … his addiction to alcohol caught up to him. Darryl’s interview is raw, open — and told with care.
