Starting the 2023-2024 season.

A game that was closer than the score, a game that was less close than the score, and all our usual nonsense.

This week, we go over our games of the week, including the Wisconsin Prep Hockey Girls Holiday Classic, and get to all our normal nonsense.

Short show this week, we run through all our normal features without a lot extra.

This week we talk to head coach Luke Steurer of the Rock County Fury who are hosting a mental awareness benefit game on Thursday after a tragic loss in their hockey community.

After that we get into all our normal, significantly less important, nonsense.

This week we talk to Wausau West head coach and WHCA President Brian Brandt Jr.

From there we move into our normal nonsense, but this week we have the first top six rankings of the season.

Bergler took in Lakeland at Mosinee, and Del was at USM vs Coulee Region. We've got our players of the week, and and update on the Top Six rankings.

Also, we rant about bad scoresheets. Not data-entry mind you, actual paper scoresheets with missing information.

We also make our annual call for holiday tournament schedules so we can schedule our coverage.

First podcast of the new season. We've got our initial players of the week, talk about our upcoming games of the week, our first thoughts on the new season, and our initial thoughts on the change of the state tournament venue.

This week we talk championship games, all tournament teams, and tie up various odds and ends as the season comes to a close.

Our state-tournament semi-final wrap up and finals previews.
