Nick and Mark are back after a couple of weeks off! This week the guys discuss a challenging trip out to New York and Pennsylvania to face the LIU Sharks and Arcadia Knights and preview not two, but four games at the New Year, starting with Trinity Western University on December 30th at home. The team will head off to Massachusetts the following week in the program’s biggest weekend yet, starting with the Boston University Terriers, the Boston College Eagles, and wrapping the trip up with a rematch 8 years in the making against the Providence College Friars.

Our Dump ‘n Chase section yet again gets a bit rowdy with not only Jeff Marshall back again, but 2001-2003 SUNY-Plattsburgh Captain Jason Kilcan joins the show to talk about the shrinking divide between Canadian and American player development, and BCHL All-Star and UConn commit Jax Wismer jumps in to a discussion about how players are being taught to give and receive hits later in their minor hockey journey.
