  • Fantasy Hockey Pod With an Actual Personality

    By far THE best fruit-based Fantasy Hockey podcast out there. Blake and Nate balance each other out perfectly with Nate’s more serious and analytical tone, compared to Blake’s off-the-wall humour.

    I love that they don’t advertise anything on their podcast aside from their own Patreon and Discord, where other podcasts are promoting online gambling apps or are part of a network that requires nauseating ad-reads.

    I also think it’s fantastic that they took a stand for women and women’s hockey, an... more

    Listener from day one, until they got political. Fantasy hockey is my way of clearing my head and not thinking about the real world. Well they ruined that for me.

    Honestly, I’ve learned more about maximizing off-nights and about the dangers of synchronized stream-crossing than I ever expected from a hockey podcast. One second they’re explaining why I should stas... more
