The Stanley Cup playoffs were a world of its own for North Bay's Mike Yeo.
The North Bay native and assistant coach with the Philadelphia Flyers took the time to chat about his 2020 NHL playoff experience while in quarantine at his cottage on Lake Nipissing back in September.
Yeo and the Flyers spent six weeks in the NHL bubble in Toronto before their's burst, losing in the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the fiesty New York Islanders back on September 6 in seven games.

For Mike, it was tough being away from his wife Tanya and his son Kyler and daughter Braeden. Yeo has always enjoyed getting away from the game and coming home for the summer. Coming home for the fall is just another bizarre part of 2020.
"It was fun but it was extremely difficult at the same time," said Yeo.
"It was not easy, but at the same time, you have a chance to win the Stanley Cup. The setup at the facility was awesome. It was a good time but at the same time it was not an easy situation that is for sure."
Mike talks very candidly about the bubble experience that you can exclusively listen to here.
