Former St. Cloud State forward Blake Winiecki recently completed his fifth pro season playing for the Florida Everblades in the ECHL. Winiecki, 29, helped the Everblades win their second straight playoff title by picking up nine goals and 15 points in 22 playoff games.

Winiecki talks about the team celebrating their title and how the Gulf of Mexico may have helped do a number on the trophy.

He also discusses getting to know former SCSU goalie Jaxon Castor and how he follows the Huskies these days.

Winiecki goes into a number of other topics, including being close friends with former Huskies Judd Peterson and Charlie Lindgren and a decision he will be making about his career in a couple months.

Winiecki, a former Lakeville North and Waterloo Black Hawk who played for the Huskies from 2014-18, discusses all this and more on the Huskies Hockey Insider podcast with The Rink Live's Mick Hatten.
