Toronto Maple Leafs Enforcer Kurt Walker

Today’s guest on the PHA Podcast is Kurt Walker, who played three seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs as an enforcer on a talented team that included Darryl Sittler, Lanny McDonald, Borje Salming, Ian Turnbull and the always colorful Tiger Williams.

Kurt tells greats stories about his improbable rise from an unknown kid from Hingham Mass to hockey’s biggest stage. He also discusses Dignity after Hockey, a 501C3 charity that he created to help ex-players in need.

Kurt is also involved in the upcoming “Drop Your Gloves” event in Massachusetts on May 5th.  This event is in honor of his former teammate Joe Carlevale, a fixture in Massachusetts hockey, who passed away from brain cancer in 2017.

The event takes place at the DoubleTree Hilton, Danvers, MA 0192
