Start your week off with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown with Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor! Today the guys welcomed in their first-ever Hall of Fame guest, Hayley Wickenheiser!
The Olympic gold medalist joined the show around the 25-minute mark and talked about her job with the Toronto Maple Leafs, how she balances that with her new career in the medical field, and also the current state of professional women’s hockey.
