Around The OHL: Joey Hishon on his journey back to Owen Sound

Hosts Jake Jeffrey and Mike Stubbs are back with another episode of Around the OHL.

This week, the guys are chatting with Joey Hishon, a name most OHL fans would recognize, especially those living in the Owen Sound area. Hishon spent four years with the Attack as a player, helping the team to an OHL Championship in 2011.

That was the same year Hishon suffered a career altering injury. The concussion kept Hishon from playing the following season, and suit up for just nine games the year after. He did manage to score a goal during his 13 games in the NHL, but for the most part, his playing career was spent mostly in the AHL and overseas before he decided to retire at the age of 26.

Hishon spent last year as a scout with Owen Sound while he helped coach minor hockey. This year, he made the move behind the bench of his former OHL club in Owen Sound.

The guys speak with Hishon about the ups and downs of his playing career, how he got through the toughest part of his life, and how some of his darkest moments helped him to where he is today, happily behind the bench in Owen Sound, once again involved in the game he loved so much.
