About this episode
If you're not familiar with Aaron Volpatti's story, this is an episode you won't want to miss! Aaron was an "average, undersized youth hockey player that was never supposed to play in the NHL." Yet after finding himself in a fight for his life after a severe burn injury, Volpatti went on to play for the Vancouver Canucks and Washington Capitals. Obie and Aaron's time in Vancouver overlapped, but as you'll hear, neither Obie nor many others were aware of just what Aaron had been through to get to the National League. Today, Aaron is focused on inspiring people around the world through his coaching and speaking engagements. He empowers other professional athletes and groups by imparting his visualization methods that he used to find success. As of Oct. 25th, for 54 days, 40% of profits will be donated to the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund. You can find his book, Fighter: Defying The NHL Odds, see his upcoming appearances, and learn more about his coaching services on his website: https://www.aaronvolpatti.com/ Show Notes & Episode Webpage: https://missincurfew.com/episodes/aaronvolpatti Draft Kings disclaimer: If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) (IL/IN/MI/NJ/PA/WV/WY), 1-800-NEXT STEP (AZ), 1-800-522-4700 (CO/NH), 888-789-7777/visit http://ccpg.org/chat (CT), 1-800-BETS OFF (IA), 1-877-770-STOP (7867) (LA), 877-8-HOPENY/text HOPENY (467369) (NY), visit OPGR.org (OR), call/text TN REDLINE 1-800-889-9789 (TN), or 1-888-532-3500 (VA). 21+ (18+ WY).
