Never Far from Home

Amanda Harclerode was a guest who was very sporty in her youth, but did not begin playing hockey until her later years. She found a quick affinity for the game and the camaraderie. Her stories come from a shorter timetable, but are no less poignant. Enjoy.

Max Atwell began playing when he was a young child. He grew up in the game, then stepped away for a couple years, before once more picking it up in Steamboat. He has some stories with his father, being an east coaster and avid Patriots fan, and tells of his annual trip to see the Bruins and Avs as well. Enjoy his tales.

Matt Graves began playing hockey later in life. He has an extensive sports background, including many years of skiing, both Nordic, and some alpine, and when he started participating in the rink community, he loved it. In an episode that is different than most to this point, enjoy our talk, as Matt explains what he does to stay "awake".

Imperio the Churlish joined the podcast. I hope you enjoy the laughter, the tears, and the full-on emotion from this one. Mostly, I hope you laugh. A lot of episodes coming up here, have to have some fun.

Harriet Leeson started playing hockey around 11. She had been involved in Winter Sports Club in Steamboat, but had lost her love of skiing. A new passion formed at the rink, and she quickly picked up the game, and knew she wanted to take it as far as she could. As of this episode, you will find her on the roster for the CU squad. Enjoy her tales, from a small mountain town, to playing at the college level with people who are sure to be life-long friends.
