Episode 1: Kirk McLean
We recorded our very first episode of the Poonicast at the end of the Canucks’ 2024 playoff run and now—with the 2024-2025 season in full swing—we couldn’t be more thrilled to share our conversation with team legend and former goalie, Kirk McLean. In the co-host seat for this edition is Pooni Group Foundation’s Executive Director Dina Milani.
Tune in as we chat about the 1994 and 2024 playoffs, as well as Kirk’s love for Vancouver. Captain Kirk also reveals his hockey highs and lows—including his weirdest injury, his first NHL salary, and behind-the-scenes stories about his incredible pro sports career—you won’t want to miss this!
