Tendy Talk

For Episode 39 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network, I chat with a goalie who played hockey when he was younger, but as a defenseman. He stepped away from the game in middle school to play other sports but came back to hockey his senior year of high school. Knowing the varsity hockey team only had one returning goaltender he thought he'd try his hand at the position simply to be part of the team, and give guys a live body to shoot at never expecting to get into a game - until he learned early in tryouts that the returning goalie suffered a season-ending injury off the ice. You can imagine how the season went, but Jake shares how he was able to keep a positive attitude through it all, and talks of how his teammates responded to the predicament.

Follow Jake on social media, and enjoy the episode.

For Episode 38 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network, I chat with a goalie whose dad and grandpa combined for over 1,300 NHL goals, but he decided to stop shots instead of taking them. That's right, on this episode I talk to Jude Hull about the reason he started playing goaltender, how he went from working NHL special events to financial advising and playing hockey in the Minnesota Interscholastic Athletic Conference (MIAC) for the Saint Olaf Oles and the fact the Jude played almost exclusively away games earning him the nickname of the Road Warrior. We also talk about Jude's favorite movie genre - romantic comedies.

After seeing Jude's response on Twitter to The Hockey News' tweet asking what's the main reason you never made it to the NHL I knew I had to get him on the podcast. It took some time, but I made it happen.

For Episode 37 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network, I chat with former Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Men's Hockey teammate and Hermantown Hawks Alum Allen Knowles. Al and I have had the chance to reconnect recently when we skated at a pretty good pick-up skate together.

On this episode we talk about how a Korean-born kid starts playing hockey in Hermantown, MN, how New Jersey Devils goalie coach Dave Rogalski ended both his high school and college careers, and how our freshman year tryouts were unlike anything either of us had experienced as there were 26 goalies trying out for six spots (two if you account for the returning goaltenders who filled the first four spots).

Being old teammates, Al and I could have talked for hours recounting stories from our playing days together and sharing stories of other adventures in this great game of hockey. I'm sure there will be more conversations in the future, but for now, enjoy the episode.

For Episode 36 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network, I chat with Andy Oman of The Hockey Arsenal. Andy and I first met each other when we played in the 2018 SotaStick Hockey Classic. Prior to the tournament starting, we engaged in a humorous Twitter battle going back and forth. Somehow our two teams kicked off the tournament with the opening game. I'm happy to say my team, Team Bill's Toggery came out the victors.

Andy has a neat background in that he wasn't originally a goalie, but once he started playing the position he knew he belonged between the pipes. He then gave his body a rest by playing out and started a company making high-end composite player sticks at beer league prices. Maybe even one day a goalie stick....

For Episode 35 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network, I chat with Tanner Houston of the Windy City Bender Podcast, a part of The Hockey Podcast Network. It is always fun to talk to other goaltenders who played their high school hockey in the Chicagoland area. Tanner and I chatted about how he got his start in the great game of hockey, how he ended up playing goaltender, and how he became a member of the Windy City Benders Podcast talking Chicago Blackhawks hockey every week.

Tanner waited until after we had ended the podcast to mention that he worked at the legendary Chicagoland pro shop Gunzo's Hockey Headquarters. Luckily I was still recording so I added that short bit of conversation into the episode. For those that don't know, Gunzo's was and still is the place to go for hockey equipment in Chicago since they opened in 1963.
