Peter McNab was born in to the hockey world. His father was coaching at the time, and right away, Peter realized this was a game that had captured his heart.

This is the inevitable episode. My Friend Mike Cochran (See Ep. 1) wanted to turn the tables on me and interview me. I have played, coached, reffed, announced, and worked at the rink since I was six. Enjoy a few of my stories.

Conor McGahey grew up playing and reffing hockey, but quickly found his niche was outside the glass, announcing. He began announcing games for the Summit Tigers High School hockey team at Stephen C.

Ryan Cagnoni was born in to the game of hockey. His dad was a big catalyst to introduce him to the game, but he found his own passion within it soon after.
