So happy to hear this interview. One of the people us Metis people can look up to who made it to the NHL. Thanks Chris Nilan and Tim Stapleton. Hearing the story about them playing hockey and then baseball in the summer, reminded me of my upbringing in Smith, AB, where we basically were playing hockey and baseball, and football in the fall. He was a tough NHL'r...
Asham was always a gamer! Downstairs at the Brendan Byrne / Jersey arena, locker room area… where players families meet their friends and families… all the players came out of the locker rooms rehydrating with water & Gatorade … Asham came out with a 6 pack of Bud cans with one already cracked … that’s was his way of rehydrating! LOL
I was fortunate enough to have season tickets for the Rebels when Ash came up. He was a real tough dude and took on guys who were mostly bigger than him. He also had some real offensive skill. It was a pleasure Ash.
I got to know Arron because of the Montreal bar I DJed at where several Habs players liked to hang out over the years. They'd sometimes ask me to make CDs of their favorite tunes for them and in return set me up with great seats to Habs games. After being traded to the Islanders he stayed in Montreal that summer. His Escalade got broken into and all his CDs were stolen. He asked me to make some replacements but said he no longer had access to game tickets so he took me to play a round of golf instead. There was a shortcut to the chosen golf course through a reservation called Kahnawake. While driving through the res, Arron said something that I'll never forget. "Are you sure this is a reserve? All these nice houses and paved roads aren't like any reserve I've ever seen!" That made me pause. I always appreciated his candor.
Totally loved that episode Chris , Tim ,and Aron . I remember being so pissed when habs traded him. I was never a fan of Andre Savard ,between him and Houle worst gm s ever .
I got « Hey ya savage » Or it’s the « l’anglais ». Asham was under-utilised in my opinion. He had more to offer. He just entered the league in the wrong era.
All these abbreviated names and nick-names kind of take the "listening public" out of it. So maybe you can say their real names so that some of us can associate with the "convo!"
I gave up on hockey when Philly made the playoffs over the Rangers because of a shootout that first year Bettman brought it in. Why did I waste my time watching the entire season when the playoffs came down to a dipsy doodle? The Ranger guy, some redhead from the Flames, didn't even try. Bettman sucks.

Always loved Ash as a player. Great dude.
With each episode Knucks is getting better and better.
Glad to hear more from Tim.
Great show and great guest thank you !
Was sad when Ash left Philly. GREAT team guy and good hockey player.

It was nice watching Ashman beat down Barnaby a few times

Now I have to go find a couple of videos of Ash kickin' the crap out of Barnaby. Awesome interview guys.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing his boy on prospect lists in not too long.
Great show guys!
I seen some battles in lethbridge when red deer came to town
I think Tim Stapleton and Asham would be a classic tilt??!!!!!!
He never talked about the islanders at all. They had Cairns, Goddard and Asham. Tough team
Remember when this dude knocked out jay beagle. That was savage
I watch that figth all the time!!the hes sleeping now was brutal😂
Darron Chrashem 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Ash is a beauty
Indigenous players like Asham, Chris Simon, Craig Berube, etc., tended to cut their trade through fights.
He probably fought orderlies, not nurses. Nurses would have known better. 😂
Aaron...always thought you were a tough fighter...i think you fought Cam Jansen a lot.. were you able to talk to Dave Brown when you were in Philly

I guarantee he has more stories then that
