Kelly Chase is battling leukemia. Inside the podcast he refuses to stop showing up for

Former NHL enforcer Kelly Chase continues to co-host the "Ice Guardians" podcast alongside Hall of Famer Brett Hull while battling acute myeloid leukemia. Despite using a walker and enduring periodic hospital stays since his 2023 diagnosis, the 58-year-old regularly attends recording sessions in St. Louis. St. Louis Blues head coach Jim Montgomery recently appeared as a guest on Episode 47, joining the duo to share stories from their careers and discuss the current team.

Hull, who travels from Dallas to record in person, credited the venture with motivating Chase through his ongoing health battle. The podcast has grown into a popular show featuring prominent hockey figures such as Wayne Gretzky and Chris Chelios. Chase remains focused on his recovery, expressing optimism about his progress as he balances his treatment with podcasting alongside his close friend and family.
