September 02, 2022 5-2: Jeremy Settle - Living the motto: Hockey is for Everyone
The idea of inclusion comes in many forms and for many reasons. Jeremy lives by the mantra that "Hockey is for Everyone" and it is shown in his actions on and off the ice. We were honored (and surprised) to have Jeremy Settle join us on the ice at US National Development Camp. Jeremy talks about his experience playing against the highest level blind hockey players in the country , as well as his experiences and how blind hockey supports his mantra that Hockey is for Everyone.

August 26, 2022 5.1 - The "Summer of TJ" Recap with the man himself
After spending our time between podcast seasons with the chunk of our blind hockey schedule, one thing became more and more apparent, it was how more and more often we'd hear "UGH TJ" "COME ON TJ" "TJ ROBBED ME" Stop after stop, TJ Stewart was quickly becoming a wall in front of our eyes. We also had a few chances to get to know our guest off the ice as well. TJ shares his stories of positivity and how that impacts how he leads his teams and his every day life.

April 01, 2022 4-7: Katie Mitchell - Editor of The Blind Hockey Brief and the Wife's Perspective
It seems to be a broken record, but we keep coming up with amazing guests. The real joke was that we KNEW this would would be good, because it was just that much better the first time. Katie Mitchell stopped by the podcast for the first (second) time to discuss being a significant other to her husband during sight loss, her work with the monthly US Blind Hockey newsletter, the Blind Hockey Brief, and her extensive work with the Washington Blind Hockey Club. She leaves Drew so enamored, he forgot to truly sign off. Hope you enjoy!

March 25, 2022 4-6: Easton and Howard Kitto - The Prodigy
The boys welcome our former nemesis and finally (THANK GOD) teammate Easton Kitto and his father Howard to the show. Easton is a 7th grader who currently plays JV hockey in Texas, and has made each of our old legs work WAY too much. Hence the "Thank God" he's on our team for once. Easton and Howard discuss growing up playing hockey and the amazing way Howard prepared Easton for his first Canadian tournament. We also discuss how it's sometimes difficult to determine vision level when dealing with high skill and high IQ blind hockey players.

March 21, 2022 4-5: Big Jim - Veteran and Visually Impaired Shooter
We have heard multiple storied about Big Jim on the podcast, so it was only appropriate to hear the stories from the man himself. He talks about his time in the armed forces as well as the events that led him to his sight loss and towards blind hockey. As we all have hockey experience prior to legal blindness, Jim was in competitive shooting in the service, and explains his work to get Visually Impaired Shooting into the Paralympics, like blind hockey.
