Can you believe it? The WCHL 2025-2026 season is upon us and unfortunately for you, dear listener, so is The WCHL Podcast! The special guest on the pod is Missouri State Head Coach Tom WInkler, who comes full of energy and loaded for bear. Chris and Coach Winkler talk about the changes for the 25/26 ACHA M1 season (81 teams!), new coaches in the WCHL, concerns for M1 standards moving forward, rankings, games played, games coming up, travel tips, rules to follow on the road, and a very well-deserved honor of ACHA recognition for the Missouri State hockey program!

We're back in the saddle! Hop along and join the ride, WCHL hockey is back! Let's Go!
