Double Minor Podcast

On this episode, Ryan and Brock are joined by some NCAA campus big wheels, as Boston College players Alex Newhook and Mike Hardman join the boys!

Newhook was a 1st round pick, 16th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft by Colorado, and Mike was a camp invitee of his beloved Boston Bruins. Mike grew up in Hanover, Mass., while Alex is a St. John's, Newfoundland native. Both played with Brock in the BCHL last year, as Mike was Brock's team mate in West Kelowna and Alex played in Victoria.

The guys chat about Boston College, their playing experiences, the NHL, and many great friendships with former team mates.

This week, Ryan and Brock are joined by a pair of total beauties.

Spencer Hora and Lucas Cullen are team mates of Brock's on the BCHL West Kelowna Warriors, but they're so much more than hockey players. The best friends have a great Youtube channel called A Day In The Life, where they follow around artists, business people, and tons of other professionals and get inside looks at the behind-the-scenes. They soon have an episode coming featuring country star Brett Kissel!

Lucas is also a great mental health advocate and does great work with Mindright.info, while Spencer has a cool clothing line called Rain Coast Clothing. The guys talk with Ryan and Brock about hockey, home, life, and their entrepreneurial spirit.

This week, Ryan and Brock discuss a goalie controversy that could be brewing in Washington, as Braden Holtby struggles early and youngster Ilya Samsonov shines.

Then, the guys discuss the Dallas Stars awful start, flying starts from Edmonton, Buffalo and Colorado, and some standout performances from the last couple weeks of NHL action, including the "Real Deal" James Neal.

OHHHHHHHHH BABY the NHL is back, and the boys are fired up.

Ryan and Brock dissect the first night of the season, including the debut of Captain Johnny Toronto, the Buds win, Caps spoil the St. Loo party, McJesus rises again, and Vegas give their rival San Jose Sharks the ol' ace of spades.

The guys also talk about some goalies under the spotlight this year, and some other big talking points after a beauty opening night. Follow the show on Twitter @DoubleMinorPod and on Facebook, and also on Instagram @Doubleminorr.

In episode 2, Brock and Ryan talk to former Fan590, Leafs TV and Sportsnet producer, among many other things, Chris Clarke.

Clarkey tells the boys all about some of his favourite memories working with Bob MCown, Joe Bowen, John Shannon and many many more. Clarkey covered drafts, helped launch Leafs TV, attended MLSE corporate events and rubbed shoulders with many Toronto sports legends.

Clarkey also is the current co-host with Ryan on the show MWO Sports, which you should totally check out, too. Enjoy the show!

In the first ever Double Minor Podcast, Ryan Drury and Brock Baier give some background on the birth of the pod, who they are and how they met, and how hockey brought these two goons together.

Then, they dig into some old stories from Brock's junior hockey career, Ryan's broadcasting career including a stop at TSN, and go off on the news that San Jose prospect Ryan Merkley is playing Jr. B this year.
