Advice From Chris Pronger
from Adam Prooteau of The Hockey News,
I’ve been lucky enough to interview Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Pronger a few times over the years. And I’ve always found him to be extremely considerate, and a student of the game – not only the game, but the business of the game.
And if you’ve been on Twitter lately, you may have seen Pronger – now with more than 100,000 followers, and counting – take a prominent place in your timeline.

Pronger earned much praise in his playing days because he was a nimble, crafty competitor who really didn’t care about any detractors. He played his game, his way, and he won a Stanley Cup, a Hart Trophy as the league’s most valuable player, a Norris Trophy as top NHL blueliner, and two Olympic gold medals. To his opponents, he was unrelentingly competitive.
