    YardRink: a new way to build that puts the boards on the liner.
    Nov 30 2023
    This week the boys sit down and talk with Brian Packard of YardRink. A system that allows you to put the boards on the liner and fill the the boards with water, wrapping the liner up the back. You know how Jimmy feels about kit building ODR, so it’s interesting to see how he feels about the “new” concept. They cover saving tarps vs. new, connection to the NHL and offering a discount code to our listeners. If you have looking at this system and was not sure about it, give a listen - or just listen for the guys “hot take” on Ant-Man.

    Season Finale - Nuggets in the Nonsense
    Aug 30 2023

    Season 1 comes to a close - I know, you're sad. But don't be - we'll be back with season 2 before you know it!


    We rehash favorite moments from the season, learning we really have not worked anything out on our end - leading subculture vs stupidity. When it comes back to sandwiches - where do corn dogs fit? Building rinks with your plans - NiceRink.com - Leaving it up year round because you are lazy - were do you stand. We say farewell to our new friends (most in Manitoba), hope that Jimmy has not ruined his teams chances this coming year at the USA Pond hockey championships and hope that Anthony has learned a little when it comes safely being on his ice.
