Here to Change the World looks into Sopel’s complex journey through the NHL and beyond. How his incredible perseverance and selflessness have carried beyond the game of hockey into something more important. www.brentsopelfoundation.org - to donate or for more info . . 
Brent Sopel clung to the game for over 16 years and selflessly sacrificed himself for the team. Sopel, the ultimate stay-at-home defensemen, even won the Stanley Cup in 2010 with the Blackhawks, all while never knowing he was dyslexic. Struggling in blind silence until he was 32, Brent’s emotional scars cut deeper than any visible ones. After hockey, his singular purpose in life was gone, and the fall was far. Brent, back on his feet with a new purpose, is now on a crusade for dyslexia awareness so that no other kid has to struggle like he did. . .
