Happy New Year from The WCHL Podcast! We kick off 2024 with Andrew back in the saddle to discuss sweeps by GCU, UCO, CSU, and Minot State and how those game results affect the WCHL standings and the M1 rankings! We also have Andrew's predictions for the week ahead, Nationals previews, ACHA Facebook jibberjabber, the merits of Twitter vs Threads, talk of heat lamps and garage door apps....yup, same as it ever was, just another suboptimal podcast for your aural enjoyment (look it up!)!

Mattias Dal Monte from UNLV is the special guest on this edition of The WCHL Podcast! Unfortunately, the gremlins zapped the first 30 minutes of this pod - but hey, we salvaged the last half of the discussion where we talk about UNLV's season to date, midnight games, the race for the WCHL title, and all eyes on an upcoming series at City National Arena! Apologies to Mattias for the power surge but we still hope you enjoy this abbreviated episode of The WCHL Podcast!

The semester break means The WCHL Podcast shifts gears and talks to players and coaches within the WCHL! First up is Colorado State forward Alex Latkovski! We find out all about Alex, growing up in Montreal, coming to the States to pursue both hockey and football, how he found his way to Fort Collins and Colorado State, and his impressions of ACHA hockey! It's a fun conversation that is well worth your time! We even find out that Alex listens to the pod and has some constructive criticism! Consider this an early Christmas present from us to you!

Andrew returns and has loads of tales of being a new Dad once again! Once the guys start in on the hockey talk, they discuss the final M1 ranking of the Fall semester, what Nationals would look like based on those rankings, a new team coming to M1 in 2025, Andrew's incredibly accurate predictions for last week's games involving WCHL teams, Christmas music mashups, a potential sponsor for the podcast, white hockey pants, the latest ACHA call-up to the NCAA ranks, fire hoses, and more snorts and laughs than usual on this craptastic edition of The WCHL Podcast!

Chris flies solo on this episode of The WCHL Podcast as Andrew is off being a new Dad again! He hits the latest ACHA news and maybe starts a rumor or two, has an opinion or two on the terrible news event at UNLV, goes through the latest M1 rankings, Nationals scenario using those rankings, WCHL games results and standings, and even a pet peeve or two! More suboptimal than usual, its another disappointing edition of The WCHL Podcast!
