In episode 2, The Chirp steps outside the NHL for the story on the Twitter super-star Zach Boychuk. He is a trailblazer on the platform and just might be following you. Why does he follow random people? The explanation and some very interesting real life stories about dealing with life when hockey goes sideways in the KHL. Then Sportsnets Tim and Sid join Daren to negotiate the use of “Millard” in this podcast. Sounds weird right? Listen and learn why. Let us know what you think and subscribe on Deanblundell.com, Soundcloud and iTunes. Next week is going to be great as well. Happy Holidays.

Daren Millard
Daren has interviewed Tiger Woods to a “C” Flight winner at a local small town golf tournament and more than a 1000 in between. He is a career broadcaster from Manitoba and spent 20 years at Rogers Sports net where he ascended to the role of national host of the NHL. As one of the first announcers hired by Sports Net in 1988, Millard was assigned to such events as the PGA Tour, ATP and WTA Tennis, Memorial Cup tournaments and the Olympic Games. His early career in radio helped refine a skill set that put Millard in front of a coast to coast Canadian audience for two decades. Career highlights include hosting the Hockey Panel at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver; heading up Toronto Maple Leafs broadcast on Sports net for 15 seasons and hosting Wednesday Night National NHL games for four years. He also had appearances on Hockey Night in Canada and Daren conducted the only broadcast interview after Tiger Woods hit his famed 6 iron bunker shot that helped him win the 2000 Canadian Open at Glen Abbey. Daren is married and lives in Markham with his wife and two adopted daughters.
