Paul Bissonnette’s Past Jobs
Paul played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Phoenix Coyotes from 2008 to 2014. In a 2018 Forbes article, he shared, “I had to fight 30 times, each of those years. That’s a lot — basically, every other game. The hardest part of my job was before it all happened, the anxiety leading up.

You didn’t know when you were going to have to go; you assumed it was going to be against certain teams.” After his playing career, Paul went on to work with Barstool as a podcast host on Spittin’ Chiclets and serves as a sports advisor, staying deeply involved in the sports world.
