On this episode of Off Set with Larry & The Big Man, we sit down with Stanley Cup Champion Lyle Odelein for an unforgettable conversation about hockey, life, and resilience.


Lyle shares incredible stories from his NHL career — from training camps in the ‘80s and ‘90s to his days battling on the ice against some of hockey’s biggest names. He opens up about winning the 1993 Stanley Cup, his time in Pittsburgh, and his perspective on today’s Penguins and Sidney Crosby’s legendary work ethic.


But beyond hockey, Lyle gets personal. He reflects on surviving a life-threatening medical crisis, undergoing multiple organ transplants, and how his Pittsburgh roots — and its world-class medical community — ultimately saved his life.
