P.J. Stock's sense of humour and reputation as a tough-as-nails fighter in the NHL made him a standout gritty hockey player. Excited to be back on the ice in this season's BATTLE OF THE BLADES, P.J. is skating to win.

He was born in Montreal in 1975, and he spent his first three pro seasons between the New York Rangers and the team's AHL affiliate, before signing as a free agent with the Montreal Canadiens in 2000. P.J. also played for the Philadelphia Flyers and the Boston Bruins recording 523 penalty minutes in 235 games, before an eye injury forced him to retire in 2004.

P.J. is now a popular figure in Canadian sports media. He had his own show on Montreal radio called The Stock Exchange on Team990, as well as on CBC's Montreal News at 6 with a segment appropriately named Stock

Talk. He debuted on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada in 2007 as a panel member of the pregame show Hockey Tonight and The Hot Stove alongside Ron MacLean. This past winter he joined the morning show of Montreal's Rock Station CHOM FM where his quick wit and hockey knowledge is put to good use. P.J. currently lives in Montreal with his wife Jean Marie and their

four children, Tyson, Peyton, Madigan and Avery.
