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!

S3E8 - He's Back (Blackhawks Season Preview)
Guess who's back? Back again. Gus is back. Tell a friend. That's right. Erik Gustafsson is once again a Chicago Blackhawk. So, now that we have that bit of news, let's take a look at the roster and talk about the Chicago Blackhawks season.
S3E7 - 9.5
9.5. 9.5. 9.5. That’s all we can think about. The Blackhawks signing Seth Jones for 9.5 million dollars. But also, why do we have Daylight Savings Time? And why do some states not have it? Nothing makes sense - especially the Chicago Blackhawks.
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!
S3E2 - Fancy Mistakes
NHL Free Agency has opened! As expected, there were some very questionable moves made. Especially by the Carolina Hurricanes . . . The Blackhawks have made some wild and confusing roster moves.
S3E1 - Now What?
Welcome to Season 3 of From Center Ice: The Podcast! We’re kicking it off with an extremely difficult and serious conversation. We talk about the Chicago Blackhawks sexual assault case, the Seth Jones trade, and the Montreal Canadiens first round pick.
S2E16 - Wrapping Season 2, Reliving Drafts
In the spirit of NHL Entry Draft Season, Jacalyn did some research about how the last decade of Entry Drafts have gone. Hop on this fun ride that wraps up Season 2 of From Center Ice: The Podcast. It even includes minor breakdowns over Mac Carruth and Erik Gustafsson.
S2E15 - Kraken Are Real!
The expansion draft has come and gone and the Seattle Kraken officially have players on their roster! We have lots of talk about that and some trades. Most importantly, Luke Prokop is the first openly gay NHL Prospect. He's a member of the Nashville Predators organization, and we are incredibly happy for him!
S2E14 - Duncan Keith is an Edmonton Oiler
News around the hockey world blew up yesterday. Most importantly, the Chicago Blackhawks traded legendary defenseman, Duncan Keith, to the Edmonton Oilers for Caleb Jones and a conditional 3rd. We're here to talk about it.
S2E11 - Oh, Canada . . . What Happened?!
Jacalyn is back from vacation, so we absolutely have to talk about what’s happened in the playoffs so far - especially in Canada. Between the misery in Edmonton and Toronto, how can anyone possibly be happy? And we deliver some second round predictions now that we’re halfway through it!
S2E10 - SWEEP! (Feat. Jonny Rockford)
The 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs are upon us! We're in the middle of the first round, and the series have been highly entertaining so far. So, we're here to talk about them! Plus - what is WRONG with the Edmonton Oilers?!
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!

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.
