THE WCHL PODCAST

Chris & @sabakuink talk about the recent announcement (FINALLY) of St. Louis hosting the ACHA National Championships in 2024, perhaps some "wild unfounded speculation" regarding the World Cup of University Hockey team selection, and then the results of this past weekend's games involving UCO, UNLV, GCU, ASU, OU and CSU! Add in some chitchat about computer rankings, insane points per game numbers, conference standings, iron sharpening iron, games remaining in the Spring semester, and some World Cup-footie style, and you've got another suboptimal episode of The WCHL Podcast!

Missouri State defenseman Sam Frederick makes a special appearance on this episode of The WCHL Podcast!

Add in some chatter about World Cup(s?), mad respect for Mo State hockey fans, and Sam's surprising food fav in Springfield, and you've got a fun couple of minutes of listening pleasure!

And hey, we here at The WCHL Podcast are expecting a major sponsorship deal any day now from a certain chicken restaurant after this episode's ringing endorsement!

Our pal @sabakuINK talks to special guest Antonio Najera from the M2 Utah team on this edition of The WCHL Podcast! Antonio hails from the hockey hotbed of Mexico City so he has a unique story to tell! Antonio also talks about junior hockey, playing for the Mexico in international competition, and how he found his way to Utah! With the Thanksgiving break and no ACHA M1 or WCHL action this week, we thought this was the perfect time to take a look at another aspect of the ACHA! And don't fret, the usual substandard podcast you've come to expect will return shortly!

Other questions get answered like: How early is too early to celebrate Christmas? Should a fat Commish ever be on a roof? And what exactly is a Good Nurse? Another suboptimal episode of The WCHL Podcast is just a click away!
