Chuck Bastie interviews former NHL hockey player and skater Brian McGrattan and skater Vanessa James as they say goodby to Battle Of The Blades for 2019. They also discuss the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS) as Brian's charity of choice, and Alzheimer Society of Canada as Vanessa's charity of choice! Brian McGrattan is competing with Vanessa James. He is skating for the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society. Brian McGrattan began his hockey career as a minor league player in Hamilton, Ontario. He was known as the top scorer on his team, which helped him catch the attention of the Ontario Hockey League in 1997. He played five seasons on multiple teams, scoring a staggering 21 goals in only 31 games between 2000/2001. McGrattan made his NHL debut in 2005 as a top enforcer for the Ottawa Senators, and made a name for himself as one of the best enforcers in the league. After being traded in 2008 to the Phoenix Coyotes, McGrattan struggled with substance abuse which required the NHL superstar to seek rehabilitation that would change his life for the better. McGrattan later returned to hockey with a new outlook on life, and returned to the Calgary Flames where he became a positive influence amongst his team. McGrattan moved on to play overseas with the Nottingham Panthers in England where he retired as a hockey player in 2017. Although McGrattan retired, he never abandoned hockey completely, taking on a position as the director of player assistance for the Flames providing mentorship to players in need. McGrattan is competing with Vanessa James as his partner.

Since the off season the Anaheim Ducks have several players to their roster. Anaheim traded for Carl Hagelin from the New York Rangers and then traded for Kevin Bieksa from the Vancouver Canucks. The Ducks then added free agent Shawn Horcoff with a one year deal to help fill Nate Thompson's spot while he is out for the first couple of months of the season. Most recently the Ducks signed free agents Brian McGrattan and Chris Stewart. If you look at the Ducks roster now, then you will notice it is filled with tough guys. Last season Tim Jackman and Chris Stewart both had 11th fights which was 7th in the league. Clayton Stoner was right behind them with 10 fights last year. Patrick Maroon engaged in 9 fights last season. Kevin Bieksa was in just 4 fights last year, but he usually engages in about 6-7 a year. The total number of fights between these five players was 45 last year, which is the same number the ENTIRE Ducks team had last season. The Ducks squad was 6th highest in the league for number of fights. Also McGrattan was added to the team, but he mainly played in the AHL last season and had just one fight. In his career he has had 258 fights (Includes NHL, AHL, & OHL). He averages 14 fights per season. So does this mean we have an Anaheim Fight Club? Eddy and I tackle this issue and discuss the recent signings of Stewart and McGrattan. We also answer several fans questions. Lastly we discuss some news around the NHL as well.
