Kevan Miller | Boston Bruins | Broken Kneecaps, Retirement, Pain, and Purpose

Kevan Miller played hockey the right way. His journey to the NHL went from being cut multiple times, grinding through tryouts and the minors, and then laying his body on the line night in and out to earn a successful career and the respect of Boston Bruins fans everywhere. However, that success didn't come without a price. His body took a beating and injuries robbed years from his career and even an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup.You'd think this kind of journey would make Kevan a bitter man... but it's quite the opposite. He's one of the nicest, most humble, and purpose-filled family men I've ever met. And this discussion is encouraging for both hockey and non-hockey fans alike who know what it's like to overcome pain and regret.
