Regular season hockey is back! Mitch headed to the Ice Mine in Connellsville for the Knoch-Connellsville matchup while taking in the updates from around the region. The Robert Morris Women split their opening weekend against now No. 10 St. Lawrence University, and the Youngstown Phantoms played Dubuque at UPMC66.

If you missed last weeks podcast, you missed the announcement of the Bardownski "Player of the Month" and Brozone "Goaltender of the Month" awards, as voted on by the PHD staff. Mitch goes a bit more in-depth with these achievements this week.

The second part of the Terry Shafer interview with Andrew Wisneski airs on this podcast, as well as talking to Roman Kraemer, Connor MacEachern and many, many more.
