Nigel Kerwin, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, I will not hold it against

Nigel, he went to Western, that's a lot, you work at McDonald's.

Welcome once again to a special interview edition of 32 Thoughts The Podcast, presented

by GMC and the new Sierra AT4X.

Today you're going to meet Nigel Kerwin, he's the longest standing employee of the Tampa Bay

Lightning, he is their video coach and Elliott, he's seen it all having joined the organization

three weeks before the 1992 expansion draft.

was Wendell Young, Brian Bradley went in that draft as well and a little bit of Merrick

trivia for you, Keith Osborne was selected in that one, why is Keith Osborne Merrick

your thoughts on Nigel before we hear from him.

Now this is a long winded way of you introducing our guest, is it not?

these days.

as he says in the interview, he got there just before the expansion draft you referenced

and they go out of their way to try and make it happen.
