This week, G-Cat returns from a wild weekend in London, where the tournament delivered big moments and even bigger hotel-and-rink shenanigans. Puffy brings his trademark intel with a full set of G-updates — who’s rising, who’s sliding, and who’s mysteriously “day-to-day” despite being seen sprinting for free breakfast waffles. The boys also take a quick skate back in time with a little North Toronto hockey history, connecting the dots between the old days and the chaos of today’s GTHL.

This week on Two The Rink, G-Cat and Puffy dive headfirst into tournament season—early mornings, bad arena coffee, and the annual reminder that no one actually knows how to use the schedule app. We break down all the hot teams in the G, who’s buzzing, who’s surprising, and who’s already acting like it’s the Stanley Cup.

Plus, the debate of the week: is it acceptable—maybe even noble—to forfeit a game if the puck drops at an hour normally reserved for airport shuttles and regrettable life choices? We settle it, kind of.

Puffy and G-Cat are back breaking down a wild week in minor hockey. How did Milk end up sponsoring a league?   The boys investigate—half seriously, half thirsty. They dig into the sudden closing of Hockey Factory, what it means for players and parents, and the ripple effect across the GTHL. Then it’s onto big organizational news: the new affiliation between the Marlies and Humber Valley, and what that could mean for development, exposure, and bragging rights. Smart takes, sharp laughs, and just enough inside baseball—sorry, hockey—to keep you hooked till the buzzer.

Puffy and G-Cat are back for another week of questionable takes and high-stakes hockey talk. The Jays’ playoff run has Puffy in full emotional meltdown mode, leading to the important question: does he actually love baseball more than his own son? (The jury’s still out, and his son’s not thrilled.) Meanwhile, G-Cat breaks down the early GTHL storylines, the surprises “On the Watch,” and a few kids already skating like they’ve got endorsement deals pending. There’s laughter, light chirping, and the usual amount of nonsense you’ve come to expect — Two the Rink in midseason form.

The boys are back! Puffy and G-Cat shake off the sunscreen, lace up the mics, and dive headfirst into Season 3 of Two The Rink. They catch up on the summer antics (some more productive than others), celebrate Coach Tanya’s trophy-hoarding run through award season, and introduce a brand-new segment — “On The Watch” highlighting the best players and teams tearing up the GTHL this week. Expect banter, bold takes, and at least one story that probably shouldn’t have made the final edit.

Another season of hockey talk that’s 60% insight, 40% nonsense, and 100% Two The Rink.
