The OHL has launched another third-party investigation into the culture around the Niagara IceDogs and that's leading to questions. Lots of questions. The big one is whether current owner Darren DeDobbelaer should be forced to sell. Whatever the outcome of the investigation, the league is left in a tight spot. Meantime, in Oshawa, the Gens show how serious they are about winning this year as they bring in a new coach with a championship pedigree.

Plus, the guys have your Wraparound, they discuss the importance of the in-arena experience, and they make the case for the creation of a "True Rookie" class in the OHL. Got some feedback?

Just when you thought there couldn't be another twist in the OHL's expansion plans, the NHL enters the picture with reports of preliminary talks between the two leagues that could create "a new approach to North American junior hockey," including guiding the growth and future expansion of a bigger league. Plus, the story of two teams headed in opposite directions as the playoffs approach and while one might be headed for an early post-season exit, the other gives us hope for a tantalizing match-up in the second round. Farwell and Dan also have your weekly Wraparound, and they definitely want some of what Nick Lardis is having right now. The OHL Podcast is supported by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

In today's episode of Our Kids Play Hockey, we dive into the critical role of mental performance in hockey with Coach Vinny Malts, a former pro player turned elite mental performance coach.

Vinny shares insights on how parents and coaches can cultivate confidence, reduce stress, and help young athletes find their unique path in the sport.

The Four Nations Faceoff delivered a stirring conclusion with Canada prevailing over the United States in overtime in the championship game with the game's top playoff player delivering the heroics.With the margin between the nations so small, debate will continue as to who the premiere hockey nation is.

They'll also do a deep dive into the bubble teams in the respective conferences, looking at the remaining schedules of those aiming to secure a spot in the playoffs.The show concludes honoring the career of legendary Penguins play-by-play man, Mike Lange, who passed away Wednesday.Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #NHLPA #FourNationsFaceoff #NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahHockeyClub #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #TDGarden #ConnorMcDavid #Mitch Marner #JordanBinnington #ConnorHellebuyck #CharlieMcAvoy #DonSweeney #NathanMacKinnon #DylanLarkin #MatthewTkachuk #SheaTheodore #BradTkachuk #JakeSanderson #ThatcherDemko #KevinLankinen #ArtursSilovs #AdamLowry #IgorShesterkin #ChrisKreider #AdamFox #MikaZibanejad #ArtemiPanarin #MikeSullivan #JohnTortorella #JohnHynes #CanadianTireCenter #MattBarzal #IlyaSorokin #SemyonVarlamov #MarcusHogburg #RyanPulock #JamieBenn #BrockNelson #PatrikLaine #QuinnHughes #JTMiller #FilipChytil #EliasPettersson #BrockBoeser #DustinWolf #CalderTrophy #ClaytonKeller #DylanGuenther #MikhailSergachev #MikeLange #FosterHewittAward #RickJeanneret #DanKelly #JohnKelly

Calling all young hockey players and future broadcasters! In this episode of The Ride to the Rink, broadcaster Jamie Hersch joins Lee Elias to share how kids can turn their love for sports into an exciting career in broadcasting.

This is THE OHL Podcast, so it might seem odd that we're talking about the WHL. But it makes sense when you consider both leagues are under the CHL umbrella, right? And this news from The Dub is REALLY interesting, with too many parallels to OHL expansion for the guys to ignore. Plus, why the story of Cam Allen being charged with impaired driving has implications well beyond junior hockey. And for some reason, Dan and Farwell want more overtime. Sit back, relax, and enjoy all that while also getting your weekly Wraparound and some news from Erie that you, er, Otter know. The OHL Podcast is supported by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

In this episode of Our Girls Play Hockey, we welcome Jamie Hersch, a trailblazing broadcaster and studio host for the NHL Network, MLB Network, PWHL, Minnesota Wild, and Vegas Golden Knights. From growing up as a passionate sports fan in Minnesota to becoming a respected voice in hockey broadcasting, Jamie shares her inspiring journey, the challenges she's faced, and the evolving role of women in sports media.

In this episode of Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee and Mike shine a spotlight on one of hockey's most vital yet underappreciated positions: the defenseman. They break down why strong defensive play is the key to offensive success and overall team stability. From understanding the “house” to the importance of skating, positioning, and transitions, this episode dives deep into the mindset and skills that make great defensemen so valuable.Whether you're a coach, player, or hockey parent, this episode will change how you view defensive hockey and give you practical tips for developing this essential role. It's time to give defensemen the appreciation they deserve.--Key Takeaways:1.Defense Creates Offense: Strong defensive positioning and smart play drive successful offensive transitions.2.The House Matters: The area in front of the net, known as “the house,” is where most goals are scored. Great defense keeps opponents out of this zone.3.Positionless Hockey Starts With Understanding Roles: Players who know every position's responsibilities are more valuable to their teams.4.Patience Is a Virtue: Great defensemen dictate play by slowing it down when necessary and guiding opponents into low-percentage areas.5.Stats Beyond Points: Celebrate and track defensive contributions like takeaways, blocked shots, and breakout passes—they're critical for success.--Practical Tips for Parents, Coaches, and Players:•Parents: Encourage your young players to try all positions, including defense, to understand the game fully. Celebrate non-scoring stats like takeaways and blocked shots.•Coaches: Emphasize skating, positioning, and decision-making in practices to develop smarter, more reliable defensemen.•Players: Embrace roles and responsibilities on both sides of the ice, knowing that defensive skills make you more desirable to coaches.-- #OurKidsPlayHockey #HockeyDefense #Teamwork #HockeyLifeClick To Text The Our Kids Play Hockey Team!Looking for the best gift to give your team at the end of this season?
