Please welcome Lyle Odelein !! Such a crazy story about his insane, medical emergency when he had 3 major organ transplants performed on the same day! A 16 NHL veteran and Stanley Cup Champion with the Montreal Canadians. He holds the current Hab’s record for most assists in a single game by a defensemen – 5. (co-holds the record with Doug Harvey & Sheldon Souray) Was the very 1st Team Captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

I was a big fan of Lyle, he was as tough as nails with a menacing smile. I see that he was just as tough getting over a devastating mishap, glad to see your recovery. God bless you brother 🙏
