Hockey isn’t just a sport—it’s a culture. In this episode, we break down the chaos of the game with our special guest, Jake Simmons, a lifelong hockey fan and Minnesota native. We talk about the wildest mascots, legendary traditions (yes, throwing octopi on the ice), and why Game 7 OT winners are basically a religious experience. Plus, we unpack the rise of women’s hockey, and relive some of the best moments from The Great One himself, Wayne Gretzky. Grab your sticks, lace up, and let’s hit the ice!
