THE WCHL PODCAST

You thought we were done for the season! April Fools, we're back because we've got the World Cup of University Hockey coming up in a few days from sexy Romania! Chris is joined by UCO Head Coach and WCoUH Team United States Assistant Coach Mike Rivera to discuss all things Red, White & Blue: the selection process for the coaching staff, how that staff selected the players, the tough group USA finds itself in, how little time these guys have together before they start playing games, & much much more, including an ask for someone who shall remain nameless to not start any international incident with some innocent twitter snark! Pretty informative episode from our point of view but then we're biased so have a listen and decide for yourself!

Chris & Andrew recap the 2023 Nationals and all that came with it on this episode of The WCHL Podcast! UNLV, UCO and UA were there from the WCHL along with 17 other teams, so the guys talk the good, the bad, & the ugly from 6 days in Marlborough, Mass! Add in some WCHL coaching movement, some World Cup of University Hockey talk, some terrible hockey from Texas, and the usual non-hockey nonsense and we've delivered on another suboptimal episode of The WCHL Podcast to enjoy!

Arizona State PxP broadcaster Niall Cooper returns to The WCHL Podcast to talk all things Nationals! Niall is the real deal, a professional who does his homework, which means he brings stats, logic and reasoning when making his predictions! He also understands this is The WCHL Podcast so we have some fun and there's even a WCHL team in Niall's Championship game! But which one, you ask? Guess you'll have to listen and find out, huh?

Our friend Anita Tsuchiya is back on this episode of The WCHL Podcast to discuss Utah getting bumped, what to expect from the HockeyTV broadcasts, the return of the ACHA M1 bracket contest, and then she dives right into her own predictions for M1 Nationals! A true WCHL loyalist, you'll like her Murdoch Cup winner! And then we throw her a curveball and ask about the ultimate W1 winner too! It's a fun listen so what are you waiting for?

Missouri State GM Ryan Armstrong is the very special guest on this episode of The WCHL Podcast! Ryan should have his own podcast as he absolutely brings the heat when it comes to predicting the games for M1 Nationals, even having a WCHL team vying for the Murdoch Cup! And then he adds a surprise twist with some ACHA M3 prognostication followed by some pod sponsor suggestions! A true Renaissance Man he is! And a great episode of a semi-great podcast this is, so have a listen, won't you?

Andrew & Kurtis Johnson are the guests on the pod as the final rankings of the regular season are here and we now know the 20 teams going to Nationals to play for the Murdoch Cup! But before we jump right into who's going to win it all, we discuss the last week of the WCHL regular season, the closest race for the WCHL title in the 10 years of the conference's existence, and a repeat Championship for the UCO Bronchos! And then we get into Nationals, game by game predictions, and the ultimate winner according to a real "hockey guy" - and Andrew too. Sprinkle in some more Full Swing chatter, goalie goals, NHL trade deadline talk, ceremonial puck drop invites, and a Stanley Cup prediction regret and you've got another great episode of The WCHL Podcast to enjoy!

Third week in a row is the charm as Andrew talks UNLV at GCU/ASU, UCO running it up on CU, and sweeps by Mo State and OU! A surprising economy of words about the best conference in the ACHA M1 dominating the latest rankings, a break at the top of the WCHL conference race, a Nationals preview, predictions for rivalry weekend in the WCHL with ASU at UA, UCO vs OU, CSU vs CU, and GCU at UNLV, the return of Fact or Fiction?, Three Pines, Full Swing, and a looming trip to Nebraska, all add up to disappointment on this craptastic episode of The WCHL Podcast! How about that?

What is this? Andrew is back for a second consecutive week! And he's got the lowdown on the week that was in the WCHL, including sweeps by UNLV, UCO and Utah, a split in Boulder, and UA winning mid-week in Tempe! Andrew wasn't done there as he brought the heat with predictions for this week's games with UNLV at GCU and then at ASU, CU at UCO, CSU at Mo State, and OU in non-conference action against Alabama! Toss in some keen rankings analysis, an update on the tight conference standings race, the ACHA *finally* releasing the WCoUH rosters for Team USA and Team Canada, a quick Nationals preview, the value of pool play vs "one and done," terrible Broadway touring productions, the crappy ACHA Comms doofus, and more from two "not hockey guys" and what do you get? Another suboptimal episode of The WCHL Podcast, that's what! Happy Listening!

Andrew is back for another go on the pod to discuss computer rankings, autobids, the race for the WCHL regular season title, conference standings, last week's games, and this week's upcoming games involving WCHL teams, including UA at ASU, UCO at Mo State, OU at CU, UA at UNLV, and Utah at Oregon! The guys then dig into some pet peeves, ice cream analysis, Fat Tire, BTS, and ear plugs! No Super Bowl talk whatsoever because this, my friends, this is a craptastic hockey pod! Enjoy!

Chris & @sabakuink talk about the week that was in the WCHL, with CU & CSU in the Valley to take on ASU & GCU for an old-school WCHL weekend, Mo State at Arizona, OU at UNLV, and UCO at Utah! There's also a lot of chatter about computer rankings, conference standings, Nationals, bumps, predictions for this week's games with UNLV at Utah, Mo State at OU, UCO at Maryville, ASU at SDSU, CU at Oregon, and semi-live podding of the UA/ASU game from The Mullett! Yup, just another suboptimal episode of The WCHL Podcast!
