The show is customizable and consists of host Darcy Lynch and generally two or three NHLers. Over the past two decades Darcy has hosted radio programs for TSN and Sportsnet, worked for two NHL teams, and collaborated on promotional initiatives with the NHL Alumni Association and Hockey Canada. His weekly Life After The Game radio show currently airs on multiple stations across Canada.
The show lasts 90 minutes, the first hour or so of Tales from the Penalty Box is typically a conversation between host Darcy Lynch and the players, as the lineup varies, depending on the location of the show and members of the audience will have about 25 minutes to ask questions, before mingling for additional conversation & autographs. Fans generally have a lot of questions, and the players will give honest answers, which isn’t always popular. This is their perspective and there are a lot of laughs.
Tales from the Penalty Box is a great way to reach out to the fans in a more intimate, face-to-face setting.
