This week, I'm giving you a surface-level look into the very deep roots of hockey in Indigenous communities, specifically the Mi'kmaq Nation. Though it has been debated, there is more and more compelling evidence that we have Indigenous communities to thank for the sport we all know and love. From the earliest ash sticks, to Fred Sasakamoose, to the 2024 NHL draft, both the past and the future of hockey is Indigenous!

The offseason may have arrived, but I'm not going anywhere! This week I'm talking about the Stanley Cup Championship, 2024 draft, free agency deadline, and so much more. I'm giving you a little recap on things you may have missed with all that's going on across the league, and sharing the little glimmers of hope we're seeing in making the sport of hockey more diverse, inclusive, and equal. I'm also taking a moment of silence for one of the most heartbreaking trades of all time. RIP Swaymark.

This week, I'm chatting with Lacey of Double Hockey Stix! Lacey is a dear friend, fellow Ducks fan, and small business owner who creates unique hockey merch and advocates for marginalized communities in the sport through her DHS platform. We're talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the hockey world, being a small business owner, and existing as a marginalized person in a community that doesn't always welcome you. We're also laughing a lot, gushing over Jamie Drysdale, and spilling some tea on the Chicago Blackhawks.

This week, I'm diving into all kinds of news across the NHL, PWHL, minor leagues, and more. I'm sharing the 101 on the new Utah hockey team, taking a peek into players' off-ice habits, and butchering way too many names along the way.

Join me for a whirlwind of hockey news in Episode 47! From Jakub Silfverberg's retirement to the Arizona Coyotes (oh boy), to more wholesome news like Marc-Andre Fleury being the prank king and a literal puck bunny, I'm covering it all! I'm also talking about lots of news from the PWHL, the Women's Worlds, minor leagues, and college hockey. If it happened at a rink, I'm talking about it this week!
