    S7 Episode 1 Return of the Podcast Traumatic Training (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    We share stories about how our kids were trained by coaches who might have gone a bit overboard. We had coaches that asked 7-year-olds flipping tractor tires on ice. These are stories that stick with us as hockey parents.

  2. Episode · Sep 4, 2026

    Lance and Randall talk about comments from the stands (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    What is the worst thing you've ever heard a parent shout toward the ice? What kind of mean-girl comments towards the refs? We have some doozies. All of us feel the injustice. Some of us let it out in ways that stagger the mind.

  3. Episode · Aug 21, 2026

    Randall talks about big fish in small ponds (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Everyone likes to be on the best team in the best place with the best supporting cast for their bestest little hockey player. Randall has grown. He now actually has fond memories of the times when his kids were in small ponds and enjoying their skills. Being the star on a middling high school team. Playing in-house over the summer. Watching in a different gear. Lance thinks he's being too nostalgic, but also remembers those times fondly.

    Valley Rinks Close - Valley Rink Opens - Why Do They Torture Us? (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Will joins us on the podcast to talk about the rinks opening and closing in the Valley. It's been an up and down year, and everyone who loves hockey will recognize the struggle.

  5. Episode · Jul 22, 2026

    Randy talks about the areas that can develop without a coach (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    We love to pay coaches. It's the best. But what kind of practice benefits the player most when he or she is alone on the ice (or at home)? Randy and Lance look into it. They also disagree and Lance is wrong again.
