2010 Olympic gold medal winners for Canada and former D partners Chris Pronger and Dan Boyle sit down with Zubair Jeewanjee to talk about what it really takes to make it in the NHL.
What separates an NHL pro from a junior star? Hall of Famer Chris Pronger says it's consistency and preparation: "I think the hallmark of a true pro is consistency, showing up every single day." He learned it the hard way. After the trade to St. Louis, Mike Keenan called him out for being out of shape: "I came dead last in the physical fitness testing at 20, by the way." Pronger on the roller coaster of his early career and "the wake-up call moments that can make or break your career."
