In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down with one of hockey’s most iconic and enigmatic figures, Mike Keenan. Known as ‘Iron Mike,’ Keenan’s reputation as a hard-nosed, no-nonsense coach is both celebrated and debated within the sport. He’s been behind the bench for some of the greatest moments in hockey history, from the New York Rangers’ epic 1994 Stanley Cup win to coaching international teams in Russia and now with Italy.

Adam and Mike explore the highs and lows of his coaching career, his tough but effective approach to player management, and the stories behind the game that most fans have never heard. They discuss what it took to break the 54-year championship drought for the Rangers, the secret to getting superstars like Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux to perform at their best, and what the future holds for Keenan as he continues to shape the sport globally.
