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!
S3E13 - pain. (Feat. Jonny Rockford)
To follow up the previous episode, Jonny Rockford hopped on the mic with Courtney to also try to process feelings about the Chicago Blackhawks and Rocky Wirtz after that disaster of a town hall.
S3E12 - Rocky Wirtz, Answer the Question. (Feat. Beth Bolger of Beyond Women's Sports)
In this episode Beth Bolger (@wonderbeffers) joins Courtney to talk about the disaster that was the Chicago Blackhawks town hall. Rocky Wirtz needs to answer the questions, not put out bogus apologies.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
