  • Good but bad sound

    Please fix the sound! The weird bass booms make it impossible to listen on headphones

  • One of the best

    Eric is one the best podcasters out there. He doesn’t tell you what to think, he tells you what he thinks and it’s usually bang on. His knowledge base is extremely wide. A must listen to. Claude from Casselman.

  • Parents in Minor Hockey

    The Episodes that Eric brings on Ryan Steeves and Brendan Bell are some of the best minor hockey parents or coaching content I have come across. Calm, measured, and reasonable perspectives from two ex-NHLers are something that all parents should listen to as their children navigate the youth/minor hockey years. Great insight and ideas for coaches of all youth sports teams to consider as well.
