Bryan Mudryk - Montreal Canadiens Broadcaster - TSN

Cancer In The Room

Joining Bryn Griffiths and Dave Jamieson on 'Cancer In The Room' episode is Montreal Canadiens Broadcaster Bryan Mudryk.

BRYAN
Bryan Mudryk is the current play-by-play english announcer on TSN for the Montreal Canadiens. The versatile broadcaster is part of TSN's industry leading curling broadcast team and is a frequent host on Sportscentre. Bryan was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma as a teenager and the treatment nearly killed him as a 20-year-old. Bryan underwent a stem cell transplant in 2000, followed by several years of taking different medications. By 2003, Bryan was cancer-free and working for CTV Edmonton. Bryan credits the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton with saving his life, and knowing that other families were going through the same thing, he decided to start a golf tournament fundraiser in his hometown of Boyle, Alberta. The Bryan Mudryk Golf Classic has raised over 1.2 million dollars in its first decade for the Cross Cancer Institute.

BRYN and DAVE
Just a couple of sportscasters from Canada who’ve dealt with cancer, beaten it back and now push forward living the best life possible. They can’t say it’s been easy, because it hasn’t been. But they’ve kept a great attitude and now continue to surge along doing things they love- including talking about sports.

Bryn lost his whole stomach to cancer while Dave dealt with throat cancer. But here they are… both trying to do something positive, to shine a light on the sports people who’ve taken on cancer, getting right back to a regular lifestyle.

We recognize not every cancer story has a happy ending, but there are many people who’ve survived the dark days, amazingly have come out smiling, realizing there’s still lots of life ahead of them! PLUS they’re more than happy to share their story and their sports career with you.

We both want this podcast to be where you see hope, positivity and many more things.

WHY THIS PODCAST?
We recognize not every cancer story has a happy ending, but the goal of the podcast is to highlight the inspiring stories of athletes, sports executives and media personalities who have faced and beaten cancer, or are continuing the fight. We believe that by sharing these stories, we can provide hope and inspiration to those who have been affected by this disease.
