Talking Travel with Brian Propp

Brian Propp played 15 seasons in the NHL, mostly with the Philadelphia Flyers. He set several team records and was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame. One of his greatest accomplishments occurred several years after his playing career ended. Propp survived and recovered from a stroke.

Propp tells his story in his upcoming autobiography, Brian Propp: Angel On My Wing: A Story of Faith, Determination, and Courage. He also shared a few bits with me in our Talking Travel interview for Global Traveler.

Propps to Brian Propp

Brian Propp had an excellent 15 year career in the NHL. He played mostly with the Philadelphia Flyers and is still a favorite in Philly despite being traded to Boston 20 years ago.
It is always special for me to meet hockey players. On average, they just seem a little more appreciative to their fans and Propp was no different when I met him at the Ultimate Collectibles Show. Propp was having a good time with ex-teammates Kenny Linseman and Tim Kerr. However, whenever any fan approached any of them, that fan got complete attention. It was cool to see.
When I approached Propp, I asked him a few questions about his career. Propp (like most ex-NHL players) was happy to discuss his playing days and to tell a few stories.
Propp is ranked in the top 50 points scorers in NHL history. While he probably will not make the Hall of Fame, he is a Hall of Fame guy.
