In this episode, host Keith Woodward talks about Team IMPACT and Michael Torello, who was diagnosed with Kernicterus as an infant, a type of brain damage that can cause athetoid cerebral palsy, hearing loss, and can cause problems with vision and teeth, and sometimes can cause intellectual disabilities, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Carolyn and John Torello, and 2023-24 captain Jayden Lee, join the conversation to talk about Michael’s life, legacy, and how his presence has had long and deep connections to the Quinnipiac Men’s Hockey Team. Michael passed away in 2021 at the age of 15, but he left behind an incredible legacy rooted in the power of believing, which was a key part of Quinnipiac's championship season. And if you have ever made plane and hotel reservations from a parking lot after a game, The Torellos have a story for you. And we can’t resist a plug for www.oldbishopfarms.com in Connecticut, where the Torellos have a farm.
