Garrett Tracy joins Ryan and Terry to reveal what goes on behind the scenes at Tracey Boards, from social media, marketing and video editing to the surprisingly demanding art of Crokinole commentary.

Garrett explains how watching more Crokinole than almost anyone on the planet has improved his own game, what it’s like to commentate on himself in the third person, and why covering a match you already know you’ve lost requires a special kind of optimism.

The conversation also takes in scoreboard disasters, marathon World Championship coverage, Tim Hortons-fuelled tournament breaks and Crokinole’s rapid international growth.

Plus: possibly Hogan’s Alley’s worst-ever introduction, an unexpected Shoresy comparison, and the growing suspicion that Canada may no longer have this whole Crokinole thing to itself.

In this episode, Terry and Ryan deep dive into the world of Crokinole Doubles! Discussing the nuances of this fun and exciting variant, the emerging competitive scene and the psychology of having a teammate! 

Terry is joined by Helen Temby fresh from organising her first tournament, at UK Games Expo, and Sammy Nour who was preparing to run his first UK tour event.  In this episode we try to explore some of the potential pitfalls Tournament Organisers can encounter, although inevitably we take some (hopefully) interesting diversions.

Ryan and Terry are back, and thankfully the lovely Helen Temby is coming along for the ride to keep them in check!  In this episode of Hogan’s, the crew review an action-packed day’s play from the recent UK Masters including the now infamous 20s Sweepstake.  Ryan and Helen then proceed to embarrass Terry again before moving on to discuss James Temby’s unique coaching style!

The trio then turn their attention to UK Games Expo where the Crokinole tournament has been rebranded “The Great British Flick Off”.  The episode is rounded off with some chat about this year’s International Crokinole Day and you can hear the latest from Jason Noble’s recent shift down the song mines.

Buckle up, it’s a beauty

In this episode of Hogan’s Alley, Ryan and Terry are back with a packed show that covers everything from The Airecon Crokinole Classic to the Crokinole UK Masters… and one slightly unhinged idea.

We start by sharing our takes on Airecon as a whole, the brilliant analogue gaming festival in Harrogate. We then recap the highlights from the UK’s longest running Crokinole tournament, which is now in its 6th year.

With the Masters on the horizon, we preview what to expect and how the tournament is shaping up, before casting an eye ahead to a busy summer of Crokinole events.

And then… Ryan proposes a new Crokinole variant. Is it innovation? Is it madness? We’ll let you decide. (Be sure to share your variants!) 

All that plus the usual banter, questionable tangents, and plenty of flicking good chat.

You asked us a bunch of interesting and diverse questions about crokinole and we did our best to answer... 

In this rather forgetful episode of Hogan's Alley, Ryan and Terry are joined by the self-styled Bad Boy of Crokinole, James Temby, as they try to remember what happened in 2025 and look forward to the Somerset Crokinole Slam and the next Crokinole UK Tour event - the AireCon Crokinole Classic!

Ryan and Terry deliver a brisk, news-packed episode as they thank Ian Witt for his service on the Crokinole UK Committee and welcome Helen Temby as his successor.

They close with a look ahead to the Somerset Crokinole Slam coming to Taunton at the end of January. A tight, community-focused update from the world of UK crokinole.

Ryan and Terry are back at the mic, and this time they’re joined by the ever-lovely Mark “The Bear” Paddington. The trio break down all the highlights from the Wales Crokinole Clash, from the insane standard of play, to the exceptional sportsmanship, they cover all the highs and lows and deep dive into the Pool C final! 

From there, they look ahead to the upcoming St Albans Open and the always-entertaining UK Doubles Championship.

They wrap up by diving into Mark’s newest pride and joy: a custom Tracey board that has to be seen to be “bearlieved”…

Join Ryan and Terry for a relaxed chat in this laid-back instalment of Hogan’s Alley! We unwind after a busy stretch of events, sharing our highlights from the Crokinole Scotland Grand Prix and all the excitement of Tabletop Scotland. We recap the amazing efforts of people around the world on International Crokinole Day, and sit down with Matt Prowse and Alex Mitchell to hear the wild story of their epic adventure playing crokinole atop the Inaccessible Pinnacle! 

To wrap things up, we preview the upcoming Wales Crokinole Clash in Wrexham — and share a few laughs and insights along the way. It’s a more chilled-out episode, but packed with great stories and the usual joy of crokinole!
