The Church of Saint Angelo
by Eric C. Hammerstrom
My hockey childhood was spent on the frozen ponds and public parks of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Later, I spent many of my winter weekends in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, playing against the Soo Legion or The Elks or against Bumbacco's.This podcast is named in honor of Angelo Bumbacco, or more precisely, for what was the best hockey shop on planet Earth--Bumbacco's, just down the street from the Soo Memorial Gardens.Every Sunday, when I was supposed to be in church or confirmation class, I was either on the ice or at Bumbacco's, which was no problem because, as one of our team's hockey dads pointed out, we went to "The Church of Saint Angelo" every weekend. Of course, he meant The Soo Memorial Gardens and Bumbacco's sports shop, which were our Cathedrals of Hockey.This podcast brings you news of people growing the game for the greater good.

"Z" is an incredible interview... fun to chat with... super knowledgeable about the game and the hockey community, and incredibly kind. Meet "Z" once and you'll have a friend forever.This interview was conducted during Ice Hockey in Harlem's MLK Weekend Trip to Buffalo to skate with the Sabres' Learn To Play Program on Saturday and with Hasek's Heroes on Sunday, along with a trip to see Buffalo State University.To learn more about Ice Hockey in Harlem, visit https://www.icehockeyinharlem.org/

Ted Nolan and his memoir "Life in Two Worlds"
My guest for this episode probably knows "The Church of Saint Angelo" as well as anyone-- Ted Nolan grew up on Garden River Reserve, just east of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Ted played for the Soo Greyhounds from 1976 to 1978. He went on to coach the Greyhounds from 1988 to 1995. He later won the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL's Coach of the Year with the Buffalo Sabres. I spoke with Ted in October of 2023, just before the release of his memoir "Life in Two Worlds: a coach's journey from The Reserve to the NHL and back."
