Ep. 124: An Interview with longtime NHL official Brad Meier!

The final day of the regular season is here and there is plenty to play for on the last full day of NHL action. A handful of seeds in the Eastern Conference are still up for grabs so what happens tonight will have a big impact on round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Frank and Jason started the podcast off by talking a little bit about what is on the line tonight and which potential matchups could intrigue them. They also talked about the President's Trophy and the bad reputation it seems to have among some fans. They were then joined by recently retired NHL referee Brad Meier! Brad officiated over 1400 NHL games and recently worked his final one. He talked about how he got into officiating and shared some great stories from his career. He shared some insight into what the travel is like for a ref, what is was like working through the pandemic, and he shared a wild story about his time in Sochi for the Olympics. 1:10 - Big nights for Frank & Jason 8:40 - Final night of the season 16:30 - The Presidents Trophy 24:20 - Brad Meier joins the show! 48:00 - Working during COVID 54:00 - What's next for him? 57:30 - Rapid Fire 1:05:20 - Buy or Sell delivered by DoorDash Hosted on Acast.
