Grind Time With Darren McCarty #010

The Russian Five is a documentary film detailing the efforts the Detroit Red Wings went through to bring the very first Russian players to America.

This is not just a story about the turnaround of a failing hockey team but a story of people coming together to do what, at the time, was impossible: Getting Russian hockey players in the former Soviet Union to defect and come play professional hockey in the United States of America.

Josh and Jen get some Grind Time and talk with Darren about what it took to make this instant-classic and what they learned along the way.
