Islanders Anxiety: A New York Islanders podcast

Weird Islanders: The Podcast - Episode 66 - Pius Suter & the Training Camp All Stars (with guest Ryan Schaap)


Listen Later

Along with podcaster and Canucks fan Ryan Schaap, Mike and Dan learn about Pius Suter, who attended a training camp with the Islanders before starting a productive NHL career for three other teams. Suter came over from his native Switzerland to try the NHL on for size and attended camps for both the Senators and Islanders before finally signing a contract with the Red Wings. After two solid years in Detroit and one in Chicago, he settled in Vancouver, where he's become a valued utility player. Ryan tells us how much Suter means to the team, other players he's reminiscent of and what life is like for Canucks fans during a trying, drama-filled season like this one. We also talk about other "Training Camp All Stars," like Miks Indrasis and Jan Kovar who circled the Islanders but never quite landed. Along the way, we chat about other weird Islanders-Canucks connections and why Cliff Ronning remains awesome.


Thanks again to Ryan for coming on. Since recording the episode, his podcast Pucks on Net has decided to end its incredible 11-year run, but you can still check out episodes and follow him on Bluesky at @schaaptop.bsky.social.
