NJ Devils Analyst & NHL Historian Stan Fischler "The Maven" Interview

This one was an absolute thrill for me...

I had the amazing opportunity to interview former New Jersey Devils analyst and hockey historian, Stan Fischler, The Maven.

Stan Fischler is one of the most knowledgeable hockey guys of all time. (arguably THE most knowledgable)

He has seen and done EVERYTHING there is to do in hockey.

He started his career in hockey in 1954 as a publicist for the New York Rangers.

The Maven has covered the New York Rangers, the New York Islanders, and the New Jersey Devils.

He has authored over 100 books over his illustrious 8 decade career.

I could have talked to Stan for days on end.

There is nobody else like The Maven.
