C Sean Pronger born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Despite being known mostly as "Chris' Brother," Pronger is a really interesting guy. He did an interview on the Marek vs. Wyshynski Podcast promoting his new book "Journeyman: The Many Triumphs (and Even More Defeats) of a Guy Who's Seen Just About Everything in the Game of Hockey," which, even though the title is way too long, would probably be a good gift idea the hockey fan or on your holiday shopping list. *hint, hint*
