  • Out of all the podcasts that I listen to, this sure is one of them.

    Hoppy sing the Canadian National Anthem while Isha chugs maple syrup, super troopers style. There is more Waconia beer in it for you two when you complete the task. Also Isha needs to remind everyone of who the real Mario Kart champion is.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fellowship of the Rink Ep109 - Feat. Scott Wheeler and Max Veech | Frozen Four + CHL to NCAA | Minnesota Wild and Max Plante
Q: In the NCAA, should regional games be hosted at home sites to improve atmosphere and broadcast quality?
The guests argue that home-site regionals would enhance attendance, energy, and media appeal, contrasting with current regional sites that often feel empty and drive advertisers away. They discuss the potential benefits of increased local engagement and more authentic fan experiences while recognizing logistical considerations.
Fellowship of the Rink Ep109 - Feat. Scott Wheeler and Max Veech | Frozen Four + CHL to NCAA | Minnesota Wild and Max Plante
Q: What do you think about the current NHL playoff format and would you change it if you could?
Max Veech suggests considering a regionalized playoff structure that could allow higher-seeded teams to host early rounds, potentially moving the NCAA-like regional system into the pro playoffs to boost home-ice advantages and fan engagement. He also envisions a broader, 1-16 style alignment for the NHL when feasible, acknowledging logistical constraints but highlighting the appeal of a more open, historically-rooted bracket.
