EDITOR'S NOTE: There is a noticeable jump in the podcast around the 15:00 mark. This is due to an audio issue with the Facebook Live stream.

LAFAYETTE, La. - Welcome back to another really mediocre edition of the Inside the SPHL Podcast. Campos took the week off to rest up for the SPHL Playoff drive, but Harding did an okay job of manning the ship and was joined by two great guests; Josh Argo from the Stickheads of the South Podcast and SPHL analytics guru Sean O'Brien.

The guys discussed:

* Hockey podcasts we listen to

* Meeting and interviewing Greg Wyshynski

* Why Pierre McGuire is the biggest wet blanket for the NHL and why Tony Romo makes a terrific football analyst

* The last week for the Birmingham Bulls and Macon Mayhem

* Do SPHL coaches call ECHL coaches to find out the status of call-ups when constructing a playoff roster?

* Is a Peoria top-heavy with the addition of Denny Sicard to the lineup and the trades they've made?

* A discussion on analytics and how they reveal strengths and weaknesses not seen through the plain stats

* It's not the Fed unless there's some major debacle...and this one made it all the way to ESPN

Be sure to listen to the Stickheads of the South podcast this week, with their guest Birmingham Bulls head coach Jamey Hicks.

LAFAYETTE, La. -- On Monday night's Inside the SPHL Podcast with special guest league commissioner Doug Price, The Sin Bin revealed their fourth annual SPHL All-Star Team, presented in conjunction with the Southern Professional Hockey League and DASH Auctions. Once again, the league was split into north and south divisions with players named to each squad.

The 2019 SPHL All-Star Selection Show is available for listening at the bottom of this page, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, or your preferred podcast app.

For the third year, fans were allowed to select a player from a list of finalists to both the north and south teams. After a week-long poll which totaled 119,300 votes, defenseman Larry Smith from the Macon Mayhem and Quad City Storm forward Shane Bennett were selected by the fans to the 2019 All-Star squads. Thanks to all of the fans who participated in the 2019 SPHL All-Star Fan Vote and for making this such a fun experience for fans, players, and families!

The remainder of the north and south teams were picked by the SPHL writing staff with input from coaches from across the league. The final squads each consist of eight forwards, four defensemen, and two goaltenders. Birmingham Bulls coach Jamey Hicks and Peoria Rivermen bench boss Jean-Guy Trudel were named by their peers to head up the Team South and Team North squads, respectively. Trudel was named an All-Star coach for the third time, previously selected to coach the 2016 and 2017 squads, while Hicks makes his first appearance as an All-Star coach.

Huntsville Havoc forward Sy Nutkevitch became the first player named to three consecutive all-star teams, having been named to the 2017 and 2018 squads. Four other players - Quad City's Peter Di Salvo (2016), Knoxville's Danny Cesarz (2017), Peoria's Alec Hagaman (2018), and Macon's Jake Trask (2018) - make their second all-star appearances.

Commemorative jerseys for the 2019 SPHL All-Star Team were produced by OT Sports and will be auctioned on DASH Auctions, with a bidding window open until February 18th, 2019.
