Interview: Billy Bridges, Canadian Sledge Hockey Legend, Gold Medalist and 6x Paralympian

In this episode Shireen Ahmed talks with Billy Bridges, Canadian sledge hockey legend who will soon compete at the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Games, which marks his sixth Paralympic appearance. They talk about his serendipitous discovery of para sport, joining the Canadian sledge hockey national team at only 14 and his over two decade career as an ultra para athlete in both sledge hockey and wheelchair basketball. They also discuss how he met his wife, the indominable goal tender Sami Jo Small, and how family support has gotten him where he is today. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
