In This Episode (Chairside Stories)

This episode is different—in the best way. We go behind the curtain on two lives built around the same obsession: hockey.

Dr. Drescher and Michael share how they dedicated themselves to the sport from early childhood through adulthood, how hockey became a life compass (discipline, resilience, teamwork), and the stories that come with being deeply connected to the game—including personally meeting some of the greatest names in the NHL. They also talk about the bigger picture: healthy lifestyle, consistency, and long-term habits, plus practical advice and perspective for young professionals building their future.

Watch for:
• How hockey shaped their mindset, confidence, and discipline
• Real stories from the world of high-level hockey and Blackhawks fandom
• Lessons for young professionals: consistency, fitness, and staying hungry
• A refreshing, human episode that’s about life—not titles
