From Center Ice:
The Podcast
S4E3 - Game Day Corn & ALEX STALOCK
Regular season NHL and AHL hockey is here, and so are we! We kicked off the episode talking about Courtney being on IR. Then we jump into our thoughts about how the Chicago Blackhawks and Rockford IceHogs look early in the season.
FCI Happy Hour Ep. 1
Welcome to Episode 1 of the From Center Ice Happy Hour. This is a new podcast series to wind down your week and talk about some news around the hockey world. It’ll be out on Friday’s to take you from the work week into the weekend.
S3E14 - The AHL Chaos Crew (Feat. Elaine Shircliff)
The wonderful Elaine Shircliff joins me to chat about the Rockford Icehogs and Cleveland Monsters. But, as usual, we go off course and chat about stuff all over the hockey world. Because we are the Chaos Crew of the AHL!
S3E10 - Belly Buttons
Hey there. We're back . . . again! We very much needed to take a mental health break. But we've returned. This is mostly a fun episode, but we do get to the hockey talk and discuss the recent Blackhawks winning streak and how the IceHogs . . . continue to lose.
S3E6 - So Many Question Marks!
How are the Toronto Maple Leafs going to do this year? How are the Chicago Blackhawks going to do this year? How are the Rockford IceHogs going to do this year? Lukas Reichel?! Does Seth Jones actually exist? There are so many questions for all three teams. Let’s get into them!
S3E5 - We’re Back!
Before we get back to mostly hockey episodes, we have a lot of stories from our last month and a half! It’s been wild. Jacalyn went to Maryland and then camping with . . . evil bugs. Courtney went to NYC in a hurricane and then was in a wedding. So, you know this will be a good one.
S3E3 - Saadness In St. Louis
A surprising amount of things happened in the hockey world since we last talked. We’ve got some signings and some trades! We have some horrible predictions for where the Rockford IceHogs, Chicago Blackhawks, and Toronto Maple Leafs will finish for the 2021-22 season. Plus, we answer some listener questions!
S2E13 - CALE MORRIS IS BACK!!!!
This week, we don't have too much news. But, CALE MORRIS HAS RE-SIGNED WITH THE ROCKFORD ICEHOGS! Our goalie hoard is going well (but it's complicated). We also chat about Pat Foley retiring after the 2021-22 season. Illinois is also going crazy.
S2E12 - Hoard All The Goalies!
9ft Barbies. Being sacrificed to a raccoon. A therapy session to help Jacalyn get caught up on consuming content. And then LOTS of free agency and other hockey talk. Who should the Blackhawks re-sign? Which free-agents should they go after? Buckle up!
S2E9 - Spicy Words (Feat. Elaine Shircliff)
This season has been exhausting. Elaine Shircliff from Full Press Coverage joined us to chat about the rough parts of this season including mental health and the HORRIBLE Taxi Squad. There are some hilarious stories that you don't want to miss. And, of course, there's some Department of Player Safety nonsense.
S2E8 - Isaak Phillips For Coach!
We’re nearing the end of the season. The Chicago Blackhawks are playing horribly. The Rockford IceHogs are playing well. Who would have guessed?! We also talk about some news bits from around the NHL, our hockey road trips, and . . . moose. Check it out!
S2E7 - The Trade Deadline (& Science)
The NHL Trade Deadline was Monday! We’re here to talk about it! There were also a lot of other things to talk about like $10 million goaltending, the Edmonton Oilers, the Vancouver Canucks, and the fact that the NWHL is having a hard time understanding that trans women are women.
S2E6 - It’s A Real Good Thing!
The Chicago Blackhawks shockingly beat the Carolina Hurricanes in one of the most boring games of the season. We finally lay to rest the month of May for the Hawks and discuss how the IceHogs were the better team between the two. Then there are some rants about the taxi squad and goaltenders. It’s a wild ride!
S2E5 - Hockey and Suffering
This episode is all about how our teams torture us (mostly the IceHogs). The IceHogs lost 94 to Grand Rapids. The Blackhawks had a loss to Detroit, but then they had a wonderful game against them. Patrick Kane hit 400. The IceHogs might have a new owner soon. Oh, and Brandon Pirri is an IceHogs.
S2E4 - Positivity?!
We finally had some good things to talk about this time! But, we started it off with bad things including COVID Corner, Mike Babcock, and Carey Price & Sergei Bobrovsky. But, THE ICEHOGS HAVE WON A GAME!!!!!! The Blackhawks are also still doing some good stuff.
S2E3 - Are We Having Fun Yet?
This episode is cursed. We said good things about the Blackhawks, then they went on to lose their next game. Sigh. We discussed the games the Rockford IceHogs and Chicago Blackhawks have played since we last recorded. You’ll hear about how terrible the IceHogs have looked. What ARE the Blackhawks?
S2E2 - Tales From the Table (Feat. Dr. Brant Hulsebus of Hulsebus Rockford Chiropractic)
Brant Hulsebus hopped on the podcast today to tell me some stories from his 16 years of being the chiropractor for the IceHogs. Hear stories about everything from crazy injuries to player superstitions.
S2E1 - Let’s Do This Right
We finally recorded our first episode in the studio after trying and failing over the weekend. The IceHogs have played 2 games, and we had to discuss them. The Blackhawks also just had a 2 game series against the Dallas Stars. So let's talk some hockey!
Episode 60 - The Collin Delia Episode
We are back to FULL STRENGTH! Courtney and Jacalyn chat about Collin Delia, the Blackhawks goaltending so far, the series against the Blue Jackets, and IceHogs training camp! There's also a big ole rant about NBC & NBC Sports.
Episode 42 - AHL SEASON CANCELLED
The 2019-2020 American Hockey League season has officially been cancelled. Time to transition into offseason mode.
