Texas AG requests transgender youths’ medical records from a Georgia clinic Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton requested transgender youths’ medical records from QueerMed, a Georgia telehealth clinic. The clinic’s founder says that they have no plans on turning over patient information that is protected by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Why is he trying to get his hands on these records? And where is he getting the authority to do this? Will we get to see an NHL team in Utah? If you’re a hockey fan, you’ll be glad to hear that Utah lawmakers have unanimously passed a resolution to bring an NHL franchise here. That same day, Gov. Cox, Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith, and several other leaders met with the NHL Commissioner to further discuss bringing a team to Utah. Will we get to see this play out?

Greg and Leah discuss everything you need to know about this case.

A passionate transfer student from Cerritos College eager to become the future NHL Commissioner. My purpose for my podcasts is to inform people about all hockey news happening throughout the United States, but mostly here in California. A lot of people aren't knowledgeable about this sport, so I want to change that. Not only do I have a passion for hockey, but I also incorporate hit songs from the 1990's, 2000's and today. So, “hitz on ice and hitz music on the air!”

In other money news, there's another name that's come out in the College admissions scam and it turns out multiple people actually paid millions of dollars to try and get their kids into college.

In his extended edition of The Rolfsen Report: The Comedy of Sport on The Sport Market on TSN Radio, Vancouver comedian Torben Rolfsen took down another rejection from the NHL Commissioner's office: "NHL All-Stars Skills Competition: Gary Bettman won fastest rejection of Quebec City." Also: "With Kid Rock at the All-Star Game, the real winners were the infants wearing noise-cancelling headphones."

Gary Bettman has presided over the National Hockey League since 1993, making him the longest-tenured commissioner among the four major U.S. sports. He is the architect of the league's media strategy, which includes an ownership stake in BAMTech, the digital media company spun off by Major League Baseball. According to Forbes, NHL teams in 2016 were worth an average $517 million, which is about what Bill Foley paid to put an expansion team in Las Vegas. Bettman speaks with Bloomberg Business of Sports co-hosts Scott Soshnick and Michael Barr about the business of hockey, sitting out the Olympics and where, oh, where, will the New York Islanders call home.

John is joined by Justin Cuthbert (theScore), Gus Katsaros (McKeen's) and Rachel Doerrie (Hockey Graphs) for a roundtable discussion. If you were in Gary Bettman's shoes, what would you do?

We all know a guy who grows a beard in the winter time and then shaves in the spring.  Why? Why do these guys grow in this pattern, why can't they just commit to grow all the way, or stay clean shaven all year?  We all have a personal preference in our own growth, be it a goatee, full beard, or a mustache, we grow what we are comfortable with.  A good friend of mine, Jamie Ward, for years has been at the receiving end of my consistent inquiry as to why he grows a magnificent beard and then just shaves it off, year after year.  Are men like this afraid to commit to the "manly" lifestyle that come with being a bearded man 365 days a year, or are they too afraid of the babyface look of shaving everyday.  I wanted to get one mans insight into why he is a "fair weather" beard grower.   Jamie is also a writer for our local paper who writes a lot of sports stories and is also a avid sports fan.  I thought it would be interesting to discuss a few news and  sport related topics that had some type of beard theme.  You can look more into each of the things we discussed in the show notes below.  I was incorrect in my statement of the NHL Commissioner being the one who wanted the players to shave, it was a NBC executive who made that comment. PRODUCTS  The "Products" page was opened since last podcast.  It is my attempt to have a listing of every beard and mustache care product in one place.  It displays the company logo and take you directly to their page where you can get more information and buy directly from them.  My thoughts were directed to people who are new to using products and providing a simple, and nicely designed, place where they can browse and explore at their leisure.  There are over 150 different manufactures currently and the list is growing as I search out more companies world wide!!! If you are a company and want to be listed, or know of one, please email me.   Links to related sports articles Yankees Beard Rule NHL Beard story Cleveland Cavalers Movember story Golf Beard rules additional show notes and things to check out...
