WSHL 365 Podcast

The season is just a few weeks away! We talk about a few of the major takeaways from the schedule release, including what it means for the playoffs this season.

Then, we begin our division previews! In this episode, we discuss the main storylines for each team in the Midwest and Northwest Divisions and make our predictions of how things will play out this season.

We talk to Bill Modrich and Corey St. Germain of the Las Vegas Thunderbirds about the organization and their thoughts entering their first season. We also discuss out-of-division matchups, tryout camps and more!

Signs are pointing to the league going back to having four divisions, so how would that look? We dive into a realignment plan that might be rolled out when the schedule is released. We also discuss the generosity of the El Paso Rhinos, which new team could have the most success and how worried we are when teams go silent during the offseason.

Where will the Thorne Cup Finals be next season? We give four markets that we'd like to see be in consideration. We also discuss fighting in hockey, the news surrounding the Barrhead Bombers, matchups we'd like to see next season and more!

In this week's episode, we talk about Southern Oregon's new ownership, the league adding markets in Canada and the new head coaches for Valencia and Wichita.

The Long Beach Bombers are now the Long Beach Jets, and we discuss what that might mean for the future of the Western Division. We also talk about the El Paso Rhinos facing off against the U20 Mexican National Team this September, the Las Vegas Thunderbirds signing a former Phoenix Knight goaltender and learn some fun facts about a certain Canadian holiday coming up.

We're back with a new episode, and just in time to give our initial reactions to the WPHA/WSHL split. After talking about what this means for the future of Canadian teams in the WSHL, we head back to some offseason fun, giving our top picks for future expansion and offering a couple options for summertime hockey.

The Cheyenne Stampede have announced that they're going dormant, so what does that mean for the Mountain Division and the rest of the WSHL? We discuss their dormancy, and the possibility that they won't be the only team going dormant this offseason. We also give our opinions on the Las Vegas Thunderbirds' jersey, and their very familiar color scheme.

In the first true offseason episode of the podcast, we start it off by highlighting a few moves made by teams around the league, including the first signings by a few expansion teams. We also talk about the new head coaches in the WSHL, and what to watch for in the coaching carousel over the next few weeks. To close out the podcast, we discuss the tragic losses of Darren Partch and Arunas Bermejo last week, and share some of our favorite Bermejo memories from his time with the Phoenix Knights.

The 2018-19 season is in the books, and we look back at the Thorne Cup Final to give our opinions on how the season came to a close. We tackle some questions going forward with the WSHL, including if the league is better with a villain and what happened to all of that parity.
