Terry Ryan Jr. kicks off episode 301A of Tales with TR: A Hockey Podcast with a lively mix of personal updates, audition stories, and a preview of his upcoming guest, hockey historian Liam McGuire. He shares his recent experiences in Toronto for the Hockey Helps the Homeless event, reflects on his acting journey—including auditions for roles like a prison guard and a brief appearance in a film with Martin Freeman—and discusses the competitive nature of casting in the industry. Terry then dives into a passionate conversation about Nick Suzuki’s MVP candidacy, emphasizing Suzuki’s consistency, two-way excellence, and impact on the Montreal Canadiens, while acknowledging Connor McDavid’s dominant season. He also highlights the depth of hockey history, particularly through the lens of Cyclone Taylor, and teases an upcoming deep-dive with Liam McGuire, who he praises as the world’s leading authority on hockey history. The episode closes with a whirlwind of local recommendations, from St. John’s eateries and gyms to community services and betting responsibly.
Auditions are competitive—most roles come through agents, and even when you're in the running, you still need to audition.
Nick Suzuki is a legitimate MVP candidate due to his 101-point season, defensive prowess, and reliability across all situations.
Cyclone Taylor was likely the highest-paid athlete in North America pre-1950, a fact worth exploring further with expert Liam McGuire.
Hockey history is rich and complex—rules like no forward passing until 1930 shaped the game in ways that are hard to imagine today.
Liam McGuire is a world-class hockey historian whose knowledge rivals that of academic experts in their fields.
