Robert Cain reflects on his career as an ice hockey goalie and his experience with the legal system and probation, exploring how these shaped his sense of identity and what normalcy meant during difficult times.
So I go to prison, turn myself. You get arrested? Do you get out on bail? In the feds, you don't even have to. There is no bail you get out on. They either let you out because you're not a flight risk or you stay in because you're a flight risk. So they let you out? They let me out, but originally they let me out. They put the bracelet around Mike so they knew where I was at all times. And I had to turn myself into probation every week and do all these things. And then they, as time went on, they took the bracelet off and I was able to go back to playing hockey, which is, you know, what I did for 27 years? I was an ice hockey goalie for 27 years. And that was my. Your question. You asked me earlier, like, how did it feel to be this bad guy? And was it an alter ego I was living? My only normal part of my life was hockey.
