This 'sode has been held in the U&U vault for months waiting for the perfect moment to be broadcasted and trust me, it was worth the wait! DWalsh joins us to chat about his minor hockey hotel stories with ABoivs, the time he beat the wheels out of a 21 year old as 16 year old rookie and his memories with legends Toffoli, Monahan and Kilrea with the Ottawa 67s of the OHL. Tons of great stories and laughs, perfect to kick off Season 4. Enjoy.
Well folks, this one was buried in the post-production file folders. Despite it's outdated content, this one was too funny to leave out of Season 3. We hope you can enjoy our player performance "Stock Market" during the 4 Nations Face-Off (maybe a little precursor for the Olympics...?) along with some funny stories to fill the time. Enjoy the ride.
ABoivs shares his final Polish Updates...EVER! As the boys move on from Nowy Targ one by one, Alex shares his final days living in the house alone, driving the manual clutch car and various equipment malfunctions. PBoivs shares his most current Beer League craziness while the boys close it down with a World Juniors "Who is to blame?" mini game. Enjoy!
ABoivs continues to share his wild stories as his time in Poland comes to and end. AND! SPOILER ALERT! His "divorce" from J Dupes :(. PBoivs banters about the first few games of the Beers men's league hockey team season and the infamous "Karma Game". Enjoy!
ABoivs shares his final thoughts on his Polish experience while capping it off with a major announcement!!! Coach meltdowns, fighting after big clean hits and shootout shot clocks are all hawt topics of discussion. To wrap it all up, the boys play a friendly game of "One liner, Summarizer" to share their first round playoff matchup predictions. Enjoy!
It's an honor and a pleasure to have our good friend Adam "Cherry Picker" Lloyd join us on the pod for our latest Tales of the Glory Days segment. The boys reminisce on Lloydman's generational talent numbers in minor hockey, Coach Jim's influence on scouts and banter about his rollercoaster of a career as he currently shares his hockey lessons as an Assistant Coach in the CCHL Tier 1 league. Enjoy!
A flurry of trade deadline moves gets the boys buzzin' for their 13th pod. Lot's of whacky NHL stuff to report: Marchand career lost wages, O'Brien hot mic chirp, K'Andre Miller's saliva attack and the Fleury vs Binnington undercard are all topics of convo this pod. ABoivs also talks playoff hockey while PBoivs has two new "Referee Reports" to share with the boys. To close things up, a new segment "AI vs Average Guy" breaks down the most controversial trade deadline moves. Enjoy!
The boys are back to talk about the Michael Scott level cringe that was the All-Star game festivities followed by a slew of hot topics that include but not limited to: Caufield contract, state of Sens, tanking...?, EBUGs, Bunts and Bo Horvat's departure from Vancouver. Stay tuned for the ride and enjoy!
This episode is loaded with new touches to the pod. Peter joins us "live" from my basement to talk about his journey from Rep B ankle bender to Eastern Ontario Super Hockey League blue chipper. The hybrid format continues as the boys talk the enigma that is the NJ Devils, Jacob Trouba's latest dirty hit and Huberdeau + Barkov tummy sticks in pregame warmup. The fan favorite segment "Spear, Beer, Cheer" closes things down to what is a long one but a good one. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
We landed the big fish!!! The boys finally get JEAN DUPUY on the mic!!! After taking a little time to shake off their 3 day Polish Cup Championship bender, Françouz does not disappoint letting the stories fly: from getting the tap on the shoulder from coach to fight heavyweight Tom Sestito, getting loogied by a young rival fan, his first NHL contract and MORE POLISH CRAZINESS!!! Enjoy the ride!
After a month long hiatus, the boys are back to give ya the NHL low down at the midway point of the season. The "garbage bag gitch" and tales of the WWE beer league refereeing highlight the opening act. The episode reaches its climax with talk about the World Juniors, the Hamburglars' retirement, Chabot's friendly fire incident and the Devils fans acting like "trash" (this will make sense once you listen)... The boys shut it down with a little "Who Would You Rather" NHL style. Cheers and Happy Holidays folks!
As the dust starts to settle on the first part of the NHL season, the boys talk about "All the Small Things" Giroux style, the current state of the Toronto Maple Laughs, Anderson's hit on the numbers and Karlsson's return to 2017 form. ABoivs talks about his time on International Break while PBoivs drops knowledge about the state of Beer League refereeing.

By far the most intellectual episode to hit the U&U airwaves, the boys are joined by Fantasy Hockey Guru HB, creator of the popular Twitter handle "Bangers Fantasy Hockey". HB shares his draft day philosophies, his "secret sauce" recipe and puts his money where his mouth is defending his "Banger format" rankings (notably Brady Tkachuk ranked 5th!). Be sure to take out the pencil and notebook because class is in session. Enjoy!
The NHL season is off and running!!! The boys compare the Draymond Green sucker punch to the St. Louis Blues historic Cup run, discuss Phil Kessel's Ironman streak, debate if Kyle Dubas will get canned and reminisce about the chaos that was the Ottawa Senators' home opener. ABoivs closes the show with his "Night out with an NHL Player" draft. AND, it can't be an episode of U&U without another epic "Polish update" and PBoivs' experience in a 40+ beer league game. Enjoy!
The boys get you up to date on all of the Canadian teams' wheelin' and dealin' this offseason. Grades are given and feelings may get hurt as we hold nothing back, criticizing people that make millions more than us. Joey Cheeze joins us late in the episode to give his two cents and partake in a friendly sports "Dad Jokes" competitions.
We are joined by the myth, the man, the legend himself: Nathan Pancel. During the first guest interview of our "Tales of the Glory Days" series, we discuss his secrets to being a goal scorer in the OHL, Junior Hockey rookie initiations and being a man amongst boys on and off the ice in minor hockey. Sit back, open and pint and join us for a few good laughs.
