Episode 105 - Conversation with Stanley Cup Champion & Dyslexia Awareness Advocate Brent Sopel
In this episode of Distance Makes the HeART Grow Fonder I chat with Stanley Cup Winner and Dyslexia Awareness Advocate Brent Sopel. Known for selflessly sacrificing his body on the ice for the greater good of the team, Former Chicago Blackhawk Stanley Cup Champion Brent Sopel is a fearless defender. Brent's personal journey in hockey has directed him towards a path of advocating for others who are struggling with similar obstacles. As a result, Brent started the Brent Sopel Foundation with the mission to champion Dyslexia and Dysgraphia Awareness. His documentary Here to Change the World is now available on Youtube.
