Listen Later

On Episode 4 of Winners Club, the boys dive deep into the intensity and controversy surrounding the Professional Women's Hockey League playoffs, especially the conversation around physicality, inconsistency in officiating, and where the line should actually be drawn with hitting in women’s hockey. Does the league need to fully commit to a more physical identity or tighten things up for consistency?

The episode also follows Ryan’s journey covering the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff run alongside Coach Chippy and Always Hockey, giving a behind-the-scenes perspective on being around the organization, the fanbase, and the energy surrounding playoff hockey in Tampa. Ryan talks about how those experiences shaped his connection to the Lightning and why he’s become such a big Tampa fan — from the culture around the team to the way the city rallies behind playoff hockey.

The boys also touch on the emotional highs and frustrations of playoff sports as a whole, bouncing between NHL and PWHL storylines while keeping the episode centered on hockey culture, fan identity, and the chaos that makes playoff season so addicting.
