November 17, 2022 Episode 20: Bitch Minors
If you're wondering why this is going up very late and way out of schedule...it's because Smitty had a lot of work to do on this one. She used the wrong microphone and the audio...is wonky at best. My apologies!!
In this episode of Rookie Lap, we discuss news, blade slashes, we try to be nice to the PWHPA (really, we try!), and we talk about the weird pre-NHL days... and how cold homes were in Berlin in 1917?

September 12, 2022 Episode 17: Not Paying Rent
On this episode, Payner and Smitty talk about some scandals, some news, some history, and evictions. Or ejections. Whichever. No but seriously, why did Hockey Canada buy a condo? When do penalties stop play and when does play continue? And hey, are women's hockey leagues new?

August 29, 2022 Episode 16: If You Got a Wedgie, That's a You Problem
In this episode, Payner's comedic timing is on point, we moan about how boring it is right now, what a "rover" is, and the protocol for clothing. Also, Sarah Nurse more than deserves to be on the NHL 23 cover.

August 15, 2022 Episode 15: To St. Paul from St. Paul
On this (late!!!!!) episode of Rookie Lap, a very frazzled Smitty and a very migraine-y Payner discuss the usual things. News, rules, history, and dumb takes. What else could you ask for from a Rookie Lap epsiode?
(no seriously what else could you ask for)

July 25, 2022 Episode 14: That's Not the Golden Rule
In this episode, we talk some about the news, some about illegal hockey equipment, more about cow dung pucks and...eating pucks, but mostly we talk about the ethics of trading star players and how we just want to go home too.
Please note that we briefly mention the sexual assault investigation into Team Canada (2013 and 2018)--while we do not go into any detail and we do provide a trigger warning beforehand, if you need any support, resources can be found here: https://www.nsvrc.org/find-help

July 11, 2022 Episode 13: Finn-Tastic
IN this episode we talk about the draft and not much else. If you're looking for stats analysis...this may not be the episode for you. If you're looking for discussions about how the draft is the best part of being a hockey fan, this is for you.

June 27, 2022 Episode 12: It’s Not an Homage, It’s Weird
Happy Monday y'all!
ON this episode, Payner and Smitty discuss the news (breaking breaking!), then talk about goalies and their gear and that insanity (thanks, NHL rule book for including literal math equations), and then we talk about the NHL draft next week! Payner is very excited, Smitty is just vibing. Also, we discuss which is harder: breathing in humidity or breathing at altitude.
