Interview with Kyle Wellwood

[AK-19]

There was a recent interview with Kyle Wellwood and his career. There were some interesting tidbits on his time with the Canucks. I will say Wellwood comes off as very intelligent. He has possibly the most lackadaisical attitude of an NHL player I've ever heard. It was interesting to hear how he wasn't really in love with the sport but enjoyed then surrounding aspects of being in the NHL. Definitely worth a listen, Kyle Wellwood joins at around 2:43:00.

 

Also surprising to me, he lives in the lower mainland.

I actually didn't mind little Welly, he was okay with Demitra (RIP) as a linemate...Demitra was so good, even with Wellwood and that plug Bernier, he was a good point producer and a class act.

I always remember Wellwood being pretty wicked on the draws

Wellwood had some of the best hands and a ton of skill but as the OP mentioned he just didn’t really seem to ever care too much about the game. He probably could have been one of the best to play at the time.

I own a Wellwood numbered T-shirt. I'm probably the only one in Vancouver.

I really liked the guy, too bad he just didn't seem to have the drive to succeed.

Tubby Kessel was the same way.  But he got praised for being lazy and fat

Kessel consistently scores near the top of the team during fitness testing.
