After the recent events surrounding Nick Tarnasky, I knew I had to get him on The BigCeaz Show. In this episode, we dive into Nick’s journey, from growing up playing hockey to making it to the NHL. He shares stories from his time with the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers. What those years meant to him, and how he’s now giving back to the game by coaching the next generation of young players. This one’s all about resilience, passion, and paying it forward.

Great interview nicks a beauty hope to see him at a blades game again soon
Loving the show keep it going
I love how it came full circle for him. He grew up with supportive parents and a great hockey community so in turn, he has been there for his own daughter with softball and for his players, helping further build the hockey community that brought so much positivity into his life. Nice episode!
