This week we discuss the 'Code' in hockey, we mention the CWHL folding, and the week that was in hockey.

And then we have a good conversation with Brandon Pougnet. He played youth hockey, AAA hockey, College hockey, and is now coaching the AAA U-15 Thunderbirds and are heading to Pittsburgh for Nationals. Good luck to the boys! 

And War Room: The Hockey podcast can be found on YouTube in the coming weeks as we introduce a new video series to the listeners, so stay tuned. 

War Room: The Hockey Podcast on instagram: @warroomthehockeypodcast and on facebook. And we can be heard on Podbean, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. 

This week we answer a listeners question, we give a shout out to a coach that is doing it right and we settle in for a good old fashioned hockey conversation. No structure. We go where to conversation takes us. 

And a shout out to Brad Watson on a tremendous career in the NHL. Being an official is a thankless job and Brad did it at the highest of levels for so long. Enjoy retirement! 

Settle in and join us for a great conversation that hopefully informs as much as it delights. 

This week, Brad Rauer calls in and joins me via phone in studio and we discuss the growth of youth hockey, where the game is headed at the youth level and how it contributes to the future of the game. 

We also discuss NCAA hockey and how it compares to the junior level and we bring you some comments and stories from the past and give you a lot to look forward to. 

Disclaimer: Apologies for the sound levels, there was a malfunction as the phone call began on the audio levels that could not be corrected. For the sake of content we have published this weeks episode with a promise and guarantee that next week all will be fixed. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode of War Room: The Hockey Podcast, and we apologize for the invonvenience with the sound. 

Enjoy!

Simple episode this week. Missing some valuable pieces to the sound of War Room the hockey podcast, Evan provides an update around the world of hockey as well as a word on Alec Reid the young man from the QMJHL who passed away last week due to complications with epilepsy. 

Apologies for the nature of this weeks episode, life has taken over, but it is important to us to provide you with content each week. While we pride ourselves on detail I thank you for understanding the situation and for your continued support. Please tune in next week as War Room: The Hockey Podcast looks to bring you a good conversation on the state of Youth hockey. 

Cheers. 

Welcome to War Room: The Hockey Podcast. Today we spoke about what listeners can look forward to in the weeks to come. And then we had a good chat with Brad Rauer, a former NHL scout and youth hockey coach on where the game is and where the game is going.
