๐Ÿ’š ONE BIG THING

๐Ÿ”ผ Defying The Diagnosis. โ€œI can either let this disease control me and make me a victim, or I can say that itโ€™s something trying to get in my way, and Iโ€™m not going to let it do that.โ€

In February 2021, Matt Basgall was in and out of the hospital with strange symptoms, not knowing if he would be able to play hockey again.

Now, he refuses to let a rare diagnosis slow him down and is grateful to take the ice.
