Among the Hockey Hall of Fame's latest inductees was former Chicago Blackhawks star Jeremy Roenick. The maverick center who played for 20 seasons in the NHL impressed scores of young hockey fans over the years with his magic on ice.
Roenick also played a big role in the life of noted NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, but not as one would expect. In his "32 Thoughts" column published on Thursday, Friedman opened up about his struggles with weight loss and the pivotal role Roenick played in helping him overcome them.
Years ago, Friedman found himself increasingly dissatisfied with his weight. He cited a lack of time as the main reason for not prioritizing his well-being.
