Wayne Crawford Podcast Interview – Episode S5E06

19 February 2022 by Ken Abbott

Wayne Crawford Podcast Interview – Episode S5E06

Wayne Crawford is today’s podcast guest.
Toronto born Wayne was selected in the 6th round, 109th overall, by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1980 NHL draft. He then spent most of his time in the AHL and IHL until a friend suggested he try the UK.

His UK adventure lasted for 13 seasons. During this time he iced for the Peterborough Pirates, Whitley Warriors, Telford Tigers, Swindon Wildcats, Bracknell Bees and Guildford Flames.

In this episode Wayne talks of:

  • How he got the nickname Reggie.
  • Being drafted by the Detroit Red Wings.
  • How he almost played his first and only NHL game.
  • How he got into big trouble by trying to high five an ice skating Russian monkey.
    and
  • How an altercation with a Fife Flyers fan had the Fife Police knocking on the locker room door.

All this and much, much more coming up in this episode.

You know I really love contacting former players and recording their hockey memories and then editing and producing this Podcast to bring those memories to you.
More importantly I know you love hearing them too.
We all love listening to those often hidden stories from inside the game, the stories that we, as fans, never get to hear.
Above all it really gives me a buzz every time I upload a brand new Podcast, knowing that you’ll remember and reminisce about those memories from your hockey heroes of the past.

However, it’s not cheap bringing this Podcast to you, that’s why I’ve chosen to use Patreon to ask for donations to keep the Podcast going.
You can really help the show by donating say, just £2 per month for the price of a cup of Coffee or the price of a Beer at £6 – you really will be helping to keep the show going.

In addition, my Patrons will receive a reward, right now there are 4 different reward levels to chose from.
Plus I’ll be continually posting to Patreon, Videos and Podcasts that are exclusive to you, my Patrons.
