Icing Pucks

Welcome back to Icing Pucks with Bex and Ryan!

This week we talk Ryan going to his first game Dallas Stars v. San Jose Sharks, plus we cover some news.

Note: Ryan says in the episode that it's Aleksander Barkov's same leg, we have learned since recording that it is other leg. And while we are thankful he is not reinjured the same leg, our stance on player injuries and health remains the same!

Also Ryan says 'our comment section'. LOL He meant comment sections in general, oops! We're sorry for these little mistakes!

Hello, and welcome back! We continue this week with the Atlantic Division and their traditions and histories.

Bex wasn't able to find a whole lot at all this week for the Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, and the Tampa Bay Lighting. If you're a fan of the teams and you know something I wasn't able to research, let us know! Please!

I do, however, owe Buffalo an apology for ever thinking they were dull! Just wait until you hear what their GM did during the '74 Draft!

This week, Bex goes off on a rant about how some teams have fascinating and rich histories and traditions, while others have practically none. If we're wrong, LET US KNOW!!

Trigger warning: We do discuss the Canadian Filthy Five, skip to 17:19 to get to the traditions!

This week we are back to just us! We had such a blast hosting guests for the last 6 weeks and we hope to do it again soon!

But we are back to just the two of us! This week we break down the three current biggest stories in the MNHL and then discuss the OG 6 Teams of the MNHL from all the way back in the 1920's!

If you want to skip the current events, the OG 6 starts at 28:47

This week we had the absolute pleasure of having Lacey on to talk all about our favorite mascots! Did you know that Iceburgh was in Sudden Death? Or that Al the Octopus was a callback to the 1952 Stanley Cup Final? What about Chance being a Gila Monster? We have a ton of fun talking all about the mascots and how amazing they all are!

We also touched on internet safety and how easy it is for fans to get addresses. Don't be that fan.

Content Warning: we do have a brief conversation about mental health and mention suicide.

We absolutely let the ADHD take over for this week's episode. Don't ask us what all we talking about with Rhett, because we couldn't tell you! There was so much!

We had a blast, and we hope you learned something! We also hope you had as much fun listening today as we did recording this!!

We met with Robin to talk about the differences in hockey culture differences between the United States and Sweden. Robin shared with us some hockey pranks as well as some hockey cultural things that we didn't know before. Robin is a trans para hockey player that has to juggle a full time job as well as his hockey career, and who doesn't love that dedication and love for the sport?

This week, Bex and Ryan had the pleasure of talking to Patti and Meagan from Gloves Off Seattle.

Patti and Meagan break down the PWHL and the differences between the MNHL and the Women's league, and how inclusive and welcoming the PWHL is. They share their hockey journey with us, and the devastating news of the Hillary Knight (Captain America!) trade.

We had a blast talking with Patti and Meagan and we hope you love them as much as we love them!!!

TRIGGER WARNING: this episode contains a lot of heavy topics, including references to child grooming. Please police your own content and if you do not have the mental capacity to learn about the toxic culture that can occur in Hockey (including S.A., illegal acts, etc), feel free to skip this episode. We still love you with all our hearts!

Bex and Ryan got to sit down with Mark from Hockey Friends for this week's episode. Mark breaks down the culture behind hockey, and how the changes need to start with the youth and the head of the MNHL. We may be a long way out from total inclusion and non-toxic hockey culture, but Mark gives us perspective on how it's already changing and it's going to keep changing.

You can follow Mark at his Instagram and on youtube and wherever you get your podcasts!
