The story of Alexandre Daigle and his short run in the NHL

In this episode we detail the events that led to Alexandre Daigle's rise to fame and his athletic skills that landed him a spot in the professional league, the story of his time in the NHL, and the reasons his career fell apart early on.

We also go over how Daigle's career potentially changed the way rookie players are given contracts forever after the way his career ended. 

As always, this podcast is brought to you by hosts Jaiden Martin and Bradley Richards.

This is, The Shortfalls!

What is The Shortfalls?

We cover the stories of professional athletes whose careers were short-lived doing deep dives into their life stories from their early rise and history in the sport, the time they spend in the professional league, and what led to their downfalls.

Our podcast isn’t focused on any one sport or any lasting popularity of athletes that fell short of their potential. Instead, we like to provide informative episodes on a wide range of athletes, some who may be well-known and some who may be underreported, but our goal is to teach our listeners something new regardless of who is the subject of our podcast.

If you are a sports fan who is interested in hearing more about the pressures athletes face in the professional league whether it be physical or mental that can sometimes be too much to bear, then we are for you.
