The Unlikely Rise of a Semi-Pro Athlete | Sal Safonte

A.J. sits down with a member of the 2024 APHL Champion Hudson Valley

Vipers - Sal Safonte. The guys talk about their similar upbringings, Sal

starting hockey at 2 years old, getting sent off to military school

because of behavior issues, hating hockey to then fall back in love with

the sport and making a semi-professional team. This is an inspiring

episode about an underdog who overcame adversity, fighting for his

dream, and becoming a fan favorite and leader of his team.
