Things get HEATED on this episode of Bare Knuckle Nation.

Cam Janssen, Reed Low, Jamie Rivers, Tony Twist, and Jim “Soupy” Campbell swap some of their wildest stories from their hockey careers—from showing up late to the rink and teammates covering for them to elaborate locker-room revenge pranks and the dirtiest things they ever did on the ice.

Tony Twist tells the unbelievable story behind a hit that led to a 16-game suspension and eventually being served with a lawsuit, while the guys break down old-school hockey violence, their toughest opponents, fighting in different eras, and the mentality it took to survive as an enforcer.

This is Bare Knuckle Nation. Let’s go.

The boys are back on Bare Knuckle Nation, and this episode is packed with hilarious stories from the NHL days.

Cam Janssen, Reed Low, Jamie Rivers, Tony Twist, and Jim “Soupy” Campbell look back at just how brutal old-school NHL training camps used to be — from Tony Twist’s ridiculous bench press battle to players fighting for roster spots and surviving some absolutely miserable fitness tests.

From Ron Hextall’s obsessive routines to Mario Lemieux’s dominance, old-school hockey stories, locker-room chaos, and plenty of chirping, Episode 5 has a little bit of everything.
