  • THE WCHL PODCAST - EP 922 - APRIL 3, 2025
    Apr 4 2025

    Admit it, you thought we forgot about you, didn't you? Well, sorry to disappoint but we're back to wind up the 2024-2025 season with special guest Cliff Cook from Drury University! The WCHL is once again The Conference of Champions, congrats to UNLV for winning the Murdoch Cup! Cliff and Chris talk Nationals, weather, true leadership in action, game logistics adjustments on the fly, goalies playing the puck up the middle of the ice, overtime games, and exemplary performances on and off the ice! Then the guys turn to some fun stuff, Nashville, rule change proposals, meatloaf, Delivering Hope, Ware The Buffalo Roams, meeting Garrett and Listener #19, and more of the suboptimal banter you've come to expect from The WCHL Podcast before finishing up with some well-deserved Thank You's!

    Stay safe over the summer, take care of yourself and the ones you love - we want to see you at the rink when we start all this nonsense up again in September!

    Feb 27 2025

    The regular season is done, the last ranking that matters is out, and we have our 24 teams going to the ACHA M1 National Championships in St. Louis on March 13-18! Five WCHL teams are in, two others were bumped from the field of 24, and by the end of the podcast Andrew will tell you who will win the Murdoch Cup! Sprinkle in some talk of meaningless games with lesser whining opponents, the M1 Selection Show, a Lost Weekend in BloNo, a triple threat Slagle attack, WCHL Fight Club complaints, and you've got yourself yet another suboptimal episode of The WCHL Podcast!

    New Year! New Guest! Same crappy podcast! Oh well.... Chris and special guest Cliff Cook talk about the movement in the latest M1 Rankings, all the WCHL games that happened over the break, including a UNLV stunner in Denver against the defending NCAA champs, non-conference matchups this past weekend, a surprise change in Edmond, predictions for the week ahead as some teams travel to the ACHA M1 Showcase while others play some crossover conference games! Add in news from the Winter World University Games in Torino, Italy, some of it good, some of it not so much, plus Lou Malnati's vs Imo's, production suggestions for some, fried ravioli, and much more! The WCHL Podcast is back for 2025 and as suboptimal as ever! Enjoy!
