On this week’s Sound of Hockey, John, Andy, and Darren welcome 14-year NHL veteran and former coach of the Seattle Thunderbirds, Steve Konowalchuk. Steve has some fantastic stories to share, from prank wars to developing elite players, and he manages to battle off wild birds and geckos while recording the interview. This is a fun one that you definitely won’t want to miss.
Also on this episode, Darren’s brother – a frequent listener of the show – makes a brief surprise cameo to be wished a Happy 40th Birthday, John gives a quick NHL Seattle update, and Andy shares the latest on what the NHL brass is considering for returning to play.
Segments this week include Let’s Get Quizzical, Weekly One-Timers, and Tweets of the Week.
Man, the big-time guests just keep on rolling in during this quarantine period. This week, Sound of Hockey welcomes an incredibly well-respected and genuinely kind hockey man in Scott Burnside, National Hockey Writer for The Athletic and co-host of the Two Man Advantage podcast.
With Burnside, the guys finally stroll into the COVID-related weeds a bit, as they start to consider what hockey could actually look like if it returns this season and beyond. It’s a fun and interesting conversation with the former ESPN and Dallas Stars reporter, who gives a very real and well-connected look at how this thing can actually proceed, assuming it’s safe to do so.
Also in this episode, John and Darren respond to some listener questions, and Andy gives a WHL Update.
Segments this week include Goalie Gear Corner, Weekly One-Timers, and TWEETS OF THE WEEK, making its triumphant return to the pod!

This week, Sound of Hockey welcomes none other than NHL Seattle’s Assistant General Manager, Ricky Olczyk.
As you’ll hear, Ricky gives 100% to everything he does – including podcast interviews – and he certainly does not disappoint on this one. John, Andy, and Darren touch on a wide range of topics with Ricky, from his collegiate playing days, to his diverse background, to his strict diet and ultra running. Plus, plenty of talk about what NHL Seattle is doing to prep for expansion, and MUCH more!
With the interview being longer than most interviews on Sound of Hockey, segments this week are limited to just Weekly One-Timers. Nonetheless, this is a great episode.
On the latest Sound of Hockey, John, Andy, and Darren welcome their first guest calling in from another continent, as new San Jose Shark, Alexander True, joins the pod from Denmark.
With True, the guys discuss the many differences between growing up in the relatively small hockey nation of Denmark, and how that journey to the NHL diverges from the paths taken by North Americans. Lots of fun in this interview.
Also on this week’s episode, Andy insists on “clarifying” the outcome of last week’s Let’s Get Quizzical, Darren leads a Goalie Gear Corner, and John makes a crossword puzzle… Oh, and the guys answer some questions from their first ever mailbag.
