Cody Hodgson on The Cam & Strick Podcast

On this episode, the boys are joined by former Vancouver Canucks 10th overall pick Cody Hodgson. Cody won World Junior Championship gold with Team Canada while leading his junior team in scoring, and was touted as a top prospect coming into Vancouver. A few years in, Hodgson and Canucks management had a less than ideal relationship leading to his eventual trade to Buffalo. He had 2 great seasons as a top piece with the Sabres, scoring 78 points 120 games before oddly falling off the map with a 13 point season. After many scary incidents and side effects that he discusses with us, he discovered he had malignant hyperthermia (MH), a degenerative condition which produces rigidity in muscles, along with coronary stress. He would end his career with Nashville, but after tearing 5 muscles in one year, the NHL was no longer a possibility. Despite a tough break, Cody isn’t easily defeated. We get into the relationship issues with Vancouver management over his injuries, playing with Steven Stamkos, John Tavares, and Alex Pietrangelo as a kid and more. Before the interview, the boys predict where the Edmonton Oilers will end up in the playoffs, the best NHL coaches, and much more. We're on the homestretch of the NHL season! Enjoy our conversation with the fantastic Cody Hodgson on this edition of The Cam & Strick Podcast.
