A few days ago, the Irish Times published an interview with Lee Chin and the hockey world took notice. The Canucks weren’t too happy with the article, . But the show turned out to be a lot different from the tone the interview struck. We might never know who said what about fighting, drinking and going out to get “ruined” but what made it to air was about other, less salacious, but still interesting themes.
Chin was promoting a television show in Ireland called The Toughest Trade. It’s a reality show, a so-called unscripted drama, where a professional athlete—usually retired—trades places with someone playing in an Irish amateur sport for a week.
