Description: In the finale of On The Road, Jeff Marek sits down with Sam Dickinson, one of the most decorated junior defensemen of his era and the newest first-round pick of the San Jose Sharks for a rain-soaked cottage-country conversation. Fresh off a Memorial Cup championship, a CHL Defenseman of the Year season, and a dominant run with the London Knights, Dickinson lifts the curtain on his journey—from Toronto Marlies days, to being traded to London, to skating alongside NHL stars in Muskoka, and stepping into Sharks rookie camp for the first time.00:40 – Introducing Sam Dickinson1:45 – Life in Muskoka & summer training2:30 - The importance of cottage life3:00 - Training with NHL players4:05 - Early years with the Marlies6:30 - Remembering the OHL Draft7:35 - What makes the London Knights special8:30 - Being traded from Niagara to London9:50 - Dale Hunter’s impact10:35 - Draft day surprises11:35 - Sharks rookie camp experience13:55 - PK Subban influence15:55 - Teammate scouting reports: Cowan, Barkey, Bonk, O’Reilly, Halttunen19:30 – Thoughts on Macklin Celebrini22:10 - Dickinson’s Memorial Cup party25:00 - What Sharks fans are getting26:00 - What he still wants to improveThis series is presented by Airbnb Hosted on Acast.
