Episode 44 ( Jonathan Bernier) 

The boys this week had on another player from the NWHL's Buffalo Beauts -- Whitney Dove.
 Whitney is a British Colombia native, who played her college career at Providence College in the Hockey East. During her time with the Friars she did not disappoint on the blue line. In her 145 game collegiate career she put up 26-53-79. She also earned Hockey East Rookie of the year-- becoming the first defender in league history to earn this title. I know the Beauts look forward to adding another great defender on their already stacked team. We can wait to watch her tear it up with the other Wing Sauce Alumni.

Episode 40 (Henrik Zetterberg)

The boys this week had on our second guest from the Connecticut Whale of the NWHL Nicole Guagliardo. She played at three different colleges in here collegiate career, Mercyhurst, Lindenwood, and Adrian. Adrian was her last stop and you could say she found her spot here! Former Wing Sauce Alum Kelly O'Sullivan played with Nicole during this time. Nicole's 2019-20 season was cut short due to COVID-19, however this didn't stop her from tearing it up! She lead the team in points with 33 and this led her to be selected for AHCA All-American and the NCHA All-Conference teams. She also tied for the lead in NCAA Division III with six game-winning goals. She is excited about this upcoming season and we cant wait to see her play in that number 13! How fitting she wore 40 at Adrian, some of the two best numbers in Red Wings history. We look forward to watching her tear it up this upcoming season with the Whale.

Episode 38 (Thomas McCollum)

This week the boys were joined by current ECHL player for the Adirondack Thunder, Mike Szmatula. Smats takes us through the roadmap of his incredible hockey journey, and we’ve only scratched the surface. He played in three different junior leagues in three years and never had an issue finding the back of the net. In his final junior season, he won a Clark Cup with the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL. Following that season, Smats went off to Northeastern University, where he played in the famous Beanpot tournament. This was a special Beanpot since it was played outdoors at Fenway Park! After two years at Northeastern, Mike transferred to University of Minnesota to finish out his final two years of college hockey. After his senior season concluded at Minnesota, he went to the ECHL to play for his current team, the Adirondack Thunder. He also describes getting the call up to play in the AHL for the Utica Comets and Stockton Heat for a few games. Make sure to follow Smats to keep up with his hockey journey!

Episode 36 (Kaden Fulcher)

The boys this week had on Saginaw Spirit Announcer Joey Battaino and man was it a treat! We were able to hear some more store about Connor and Joeys journey into being a sports announcer. From his days calling NAHL games to the OHL where he’s fortunate enough to watch Cole Perfetti, who is one of the top choices for the Red Wings for the first round pick of the 2020 draft.

Joey says his broadcasting career started with luck but I think his skill played into this. He started from the bottom at 18, and with 11 years of experience, we hope to see him working with Ken Daniels calling a Wings game someday soon!
