The Backups podcast

The Backups are back for a special Christmas episode. We cap off 2020 with Team Canada's world junior goalie Taylor Gauthier and our long-time buddy Riley Mcveigh of the UWEC Blue-golds. 

On episode 30 we are joined by Internet hockey legend and world-renowned skills coach Pavel Barber. We discuss his career in entertainment, travelling the world for hockey and his skills training with NHL hall of famer Jonathan Toews. We also discuss Jay's New BCHL signing and the latet on the NHL playoffs.

We're back and better than ever... or at least just as good. For our triumphant return, we spoke with RIT NCAA D1 goalie Logan Drackett about his experience playing in Rochester, a big Nashville trip with the boys and his love for other peoples dogs amongst other shenanigans. The boys also touch on NHL playoff reviews, Pavel Barber ice times and some troubling issues on the 29th episode of the Backups.

On this episode we sat down with Bauer Goalie Global Brand Manager Spencer Freer to discuss his involvement with a brand that has climbed its way to the top of the goaltending world.  The boys also talk about a silly night at Fabio's house, and the first round playoff goalie match ups.

On this episode we chat with Bowerman and Timmer of the Camrose Kodiaks about their Jr. hockey careers, Step Brothers tattoos, hutterites, and Russian cab rides.

On this episode we sit down and chat with Mr. Nerd about all things gear. From specs to trends and the future of pads, we do a deep dive into a mutual obsession. 

Hockey Tiktok creator and member of the benchwarmers group Erik Nagy joins us to discuss his online videos and merch as well as his own Hockey career. Which leaves us with the still unanswered question; Does Brendan Simons play hockey?

No description needed. This was a big one
