On our first episode, we dive into the life of Frank Calder and how he helped launch the NHL. Who was Frank Calder? Where did he come from? What was he thinking starting a league during the First World War? And why is there a trophy named after him? We also talk about how we remember the man, and does the official memory of the man really match up to his accomplishments?

After that, we jump into the career of Mike Sillinger, the 'suitcase' of the NHL. How does a player with only 548 points hold an NHL record?
