Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I make the executive decision to forego the usual subject matter of the show to inject a bit of real life.

If you go back to the epiodes with my very first guest Dean Ewen, you'll hear Dean talk about having Andrei as a teammate. Unfortunately, Andrei has been put into a similar position as many of his countrymen recently & that is the role of helping d...

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome New York Riptide Executive Vice President Rich Lisk to the penalty box. Of course my connection to Rich is hockey related. I first met Rich when he was running the Trenton Titans of the ECHL. Always a class act, I was pumped when I heard Rich would be here on Long Island running the Riptide. Rich's journey from Rutgers to the Riptide is a very interesting one & we cover that here. After that we focus our attention on the 2021-22 Riptide personn...

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome Steve Jaques to the Penalty Box. Steve is yet another tough Western boy who played in the 'Dub when it was truly the jungle. There have been many tough dudes who've donned the crest of the New West Bruins yet none put up a single-season PIM total higher than Steve Jaques. BTW-remember that stickfight between the Tri-City Americans & the Seattle T-Birds fans? Steve was there. The former Kings draft pick became an IHL mainstayin the 90's providin...

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome Brandon DeFazio to the Penalty Box. My paesano played one season in the Islanders organization, spending 2012-13 in Bridgeport. DeFazio annually put up solid numbers & was one of the premier power-forwards during his AHL tenure, earning him time in "the Show" with Vancouver. The second part of his career is something I call the "Brandon DeFazio World Tour". If you're looking for inspiration, look no further as this is the story of a player who ...

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome Vern Smith to the Penalty Box. Only seven men in the modern era of Springfield Indians hockey can say they spent more time in the sin bin than Vern did. Vern's aggressive, hard-hitting style has made him a Springfield hockey legend.

Thanks for tuning in everybody! Today I welcome Nolan Clayton to the Penalty Box. Nolan is one of the goalies for the New York Riptide lacrosse team. You read that correctly, he's a goalie. Similar to another Ontario native who played goal in the Coliseum, Nolan plays with a fire & passion that will no doubt endear him to the Coliseum faithful. Opponents should be very careful treading too close to his crease, that's HIS domain & it's enter at your own risk! I appreciate Nolan taking the...
