In this episode, recorded February 5th, 2023, Alex welcomes AHL content creator Patrick Williams back to the podcast. At the time of recording, Patrick was fresh off a visit to Syracuse and on the road to the AHL All-Star weekend in Laval. Given this unique opportunity to get a fresh perspective of the team's performance, Alex and Patrick start off with dissecting Syracuse's performance in two games vs. the Charlotte Checkers. The two then turn to talking about the current focus in the league, the AHL All-Star weekend. They discuss Syracuse's three All-stars - forward and captain Gabriel Dumont, forward Alex Barre-Boulet, and defenseman Darren Raddysh - and the shift in the event from a prospect-focus to a more well-rounded focus when it comes to picking players who attend. Alex brings the focus to the AHL Hall of Fame, which inducts people during the event, and quizzes Patrick on who he thinks might be selected from Syracuse's history some day. Although Alex was thinking along the lines of Mike Angelidis or Mike McKenna, Patrick surprises her with a convincing argument for team owner Howard Dolgon. The two end the podcast with a look at Hall of Fame inductee David Andrews, a man who "created a league that works for everybody" during his tenure as President of the AHL.

Rob Murray is an extremely talented man that has an amazing professional and coaching career. He has played over a 100 NHL games and over 1,000 AHL games. He has been inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame and had his jersey retired by the Springfield Falcons and still holds the title for the second most penalty minutes in the AHL. He has coached at the AHL and the ECHL levels and won a championship with the Alaska Aces. Now he is the head coach and the head of operations for the Tulsa Oilers. Even with his background he is extremely humble. His love for the game resonates off of him.

My special guest today is from beautiful Nepean Ontario. He spent 20 years playing pro hockey all over the world including five different NHL and AHL teams, with stops in the East Coast League, IHL, CHL and a handful of European leagues. He twice led the AHL in scoring, was an All-star three times, a Calder Cup Champion, a Finnish League Champion and just last year was inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame. He’s known as an intense competitor with an incredible desire to score goals. It’s my pleasure to welcome to ATP Hockey Talks, Hall of Famer, Brad “Shooter” Smyth.
In episode 19 the great Darren Haydar joins us to talk about his days playing youth hockey all the way up to induction in the AHL Hall of Fame!
Hey everyone, on this week’s episode I’m joined by Michael Leighton. During his career, he played in 111 NHL games, led the Philadelphia Flyers to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, and posted more shutouts than any goalie in American Hockey League history. On top of that, he was also a 5-time All-Star and 2008 Goalie of the Year. Leighton played for nearly 20 teams during his pro career and is a sure bet to be inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame. He’s truly one of the good guys in the game. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it!
Bruce Landon an original New England Whalers G and AHL Hall of Famer Episode 51 of the Pro Hockey Alumni Podcast features Bruce "Batesy" Landon, a solid WHA goaltender with the New England Whalers, a Springfield hockey icon and one of the most respected men in hockey. Following a successful junior career with the Ontario Hockey League's Peterborough Petes, Bruce was selected in the fourth round of the 1969 draft by the Los Angeles Kings He played three seasons for the Kings minor-league affiliate Springfield Kings, backing up future Hockey Hall of Famer Billy Smith as the Kings won the AHL's Calder Cup championship in 1971. In 1972, Landon signed with the upstart New England Whalers of the WHA and was the team's backup goaltender for five seasons. He paired with Al Smith to lead the Whalers to the inaugural WHA championship in 1973. Upon retiring from pro hockey in 1977, Bruce embarked on an amazing 40-year career in a variety of roles with Springfield AHL hockey, most notably serving as GM of the Indians and co-owner of the Springfield Falcons. He managed the Indians franchise as it won improbable back-to-back Calder Cup championships in 1990 and 1991 — with two different NHL affiliations. Bruce was inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame in 2016. We'll discuss a lot about Bruce's days in Springfield, but it goes without saying that there would be no AHL hockey in Springfield without his heroic efforts to keep it alive. Bruce has a new book out — “The Puck Stops Here — My (Not So) minor league life.” Hockey fans will love the inside stories from the WHA and AHL. It's also a great reference for those interested in the business of hockey. Purchasing information for the book are in the show notes. All proceeds from the sale of the book with benefit the Tammy Jacobson Landon “I Can Hear You Now” scholarship fund at the Clarke School for Hearing and Speech. Tammy, Bruce's daughter who passed away from cancer at the age of 43, was the inspiration behind this book. To order the book email Bruce Landon at nlandon30@gmail.com.
