(OTTAWA, CANADA) Doug Smith, an 11-year veteran in the NHL was know for his toughness, his skating speed and prowess…but a cut in the ice sent him crashing head first into the boards. An impact that broke 200 bones in his neck, and shattered two vertebra in his neck. He was a quadriplegic. His story from being on top of the Hockey world, to being paralyzed, to overcoming all odds to walk again is one-in-a-million. Doug joined Tim Lewis on Idaho’s Morning News to talk about his emotions, pain, and WILL to live and tell the story. You can get Doug’s book here: thetraumacode.com
