Tealcast Ep. 00: 2019 NHL Draft

I said I was done with the 2019 draft, but… Here’s my first go at a podcast, talking plans for this space + 2019 draft, 2020 draft, summer hockey. Since this is a draft focused episode it is a bit different than these will be in the future. I’ll be talking about recruiting, prospects as well as the Big Ten and hockey in general. In time I’ll look to bring on some guests. I’ve put down the timestamps so you can skip around. Soon these recordings will also be on Spotify, iTunes, (sometimes) YouTube and wherever else people listen to things. Also, one name I forgot to mention for 2020 is Dylan Holloway. The incoming Badger freshman forward is a potential first-rounder next summer.
