First, John, Andy, and Darren discuss the latest on the NHL’s return to play plan, which is suddenly gaining momentum after appearing to be stalled just last week.
WHL Correspondent, Andy Eide, then gives a WHL Update on the Portland Winterhawks and that league’s plans for this season. While on the topic of Junior Hockey, the guys talk about the challenges that the World Junior Championship is currently facing.
Segments include a WJC-focused Goalie Gear Corner, a Vegas- and college-hockey focused Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
This week, the Sound Of Hockey Podcast goes deep into the world of the Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft.
As you may have seen on soundofhockey.com, John, Andy, and Darren (with help from Josh and Jim) have been taking deep dives into NHL teams to try to understand which players each one may expose in the 2021 Expansion Draft. On the podcast, the guys have a hearty discussion about the teams covered so far and whether or not some of the bigger names out there may actually be feasible for the Kraken in their Expansion Draft. There are definitely some interesting nuggets, and a fair dose of #Minnutiae.
Also on this week’s episode, the guys do a Mailbag segment to answer listener questions.
They then move onto You Don’t See That Every Day (view the clips they discuss hereand here), Weekly One-Timers, and finally Tweets of the Week.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the Sound Of Hockey Podcast!
The Sound Of Hockey Podcast guys are back with another great episode and a great guest, seventeen-year-old Conner Roulette of the Seattle Thunderbirds. Conner was recently listed as an “A” prospect on NHL Central Scouting’s list for the 2021 Entry Draft and has an interesting story to tell. With Conner, the guys talk about his clever goal song, his experience as an indigenous player in the hockey community, and much more.
Also in this episode, John, Andy, and Darren discuss the latest NHL news – signings, rumors, return to play, etc. – and they chat about whether or not Connor McDavid’s new house should be getting as much scrutiny as it has been receiving online. Oh, and Adam Gaudette kicked his new wife in the head (by accident).
Goalie Gear Corner is special this week, as the guys break down Darren’s new goalie mask! See photos below, or watch the video that Darren made here.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I did it. I got a brand new goalie mask custom painted, and I’m so excited to share it with you.
The best way I could think to show it off was with this very special and very personal video version of everyone’s favorite Sound Of Hockey Podcast segment, Goalie Gear Corner.
This is a super fun podcast episode with Derek Ryan of the Calgary Flames and a native of Spokane, Washington! Derek has had a fascinating journey to get to the NHL, and his story will leave you feeling inspired to keep grinding to achieve your dreams.
This podcast interview with Derek Ryan is one you won’t want to miss.
Also on this episode, plenty of discussion about some of the latest content at SoundOfHockey.com, including John’s idea about a low-price ticket lottery and Andy’s Reverse Retro Jersey Awards. The guys shed some more light on those topics and rip on the Detroit Red Wings for their very poor entry into the Reverse Retro pool.
Segments this week include Goalie Gear Corner, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
Ladies and gentlemen, Sound Of Hockey has an enormous announcement to make. NHLtoSeattle_com has been re-branded to SoundOfHockey.com, and the guys could not be more excited to share it with you! Give this episode a listen to get an understanding for the vision of the brand moving forward.
And don’t worry, we do have a full episode for you here, with all the usual shenanigans. There’s a Seattle Kraken update, a WHL update, and some jersey talk.
