Inside College Hockey Podcasts

Inside College Hockey got its start when a few of our staffers decided to put some of our conversations about college hockey into written words. Now you're able to listen in on those chats via the weekly INCH Podcast. In February 2007, USA Hockey Magazine rated the INCH Podcast third on its list of the five essential hockey podcasts.

We’ll level with you — we here at INCH move a little slower in the summer. But after nearly eight months of non-stop college hockey news and information, can you blame us for taking a few weeks to recharge the batteries? We’ve still got a couple weeks before our psuedo-hiatus ends, but we cranked it up briefly for the recent NHL Entry Draft in Ottawa. That event is the centerpiece of the first Inside College Hockey podcast of the summer, which also recaps early departures, looks back at our early glance at the top 10 teams for 2009, and, of course, closes with plenty of deterioration.

The season is over — sigh — so first off, congratulations to Boston College for winning the 2008 NCAA championship. Second, the Inside College Hockey podcast discusses all things Denver, including the Frozen Four, the Hobey Baker Award presentation, and the job the Mile High City did as the event host. And for all you deterioration-only listeners, you'll want to skip ahead to approximately the 50-minute mark.

Frozen Four week is upon us, and this edition of the Inside College Hockey podcast focuses on all things Denver from the chances of the four teams competing at the Pepsi Center to discussion about the final three candidates for this year's Hobey Baker Award. We'll also take a look back at NCAA regional action, and glance ahead to the NHL playoffs, which start this week as well.

Four automatic bids are up for grabs this weekend as conference tournaments in Albany, Boston, Detroit, and St. Paul conclude Saturday. We discuss the games, and the ramifications for those involved, in this edition of the Inside College Hockey podcast. Our panel also breaks down its 10 Hobey Baker Award finalists, and talks about the highlight-reel penalty shot goal scored by BC’s Nathan Gerbe. We also learn how many pages one must flip through to get to actual copy in this month’s issue of GQ.

As you’ll hear very early in this edition of the Inside College Hockey podcast, the week ahead is the one we consider the best of the entire season. All six leagues are in playoff mode — most notably Atlantic Hockey and College Hockey America, as both determine their NCAA tournament representatives Sunday. We break down all the postseason action in great detail, yet still find time to take Coast Guard to task for its questionable choice of mascot and send best birthday wishes to the indestructible Chuck Norris.

It’s March, and that means the latest Inside College Hockey podcast is heavy on conference and NCAA tournament talk, Hobey banter, and much more. We also ask for your help in finding a spot for this year’s INCH Frozen Four Party in Denver on April 11. Heck, we might even invite you.

Lots of ground to cover in the latest Inside College Hockey podcast. Among the topics of discussion — the recently completed Beanpot Tournament, a look back at the Michigan-Miami series, the race for the Hobey Baker Award, and a good ol’ fashioned dust-up between Canisius and RIT.

As promised, here's the link to the NESN Bruins ad featuring the Phil Kessel rap.

The Inside College Hockey Podcast returns with what we think is one of the finest efforts in the history of our little Internet chat. Of course, given the subject matter — Friday’s disputed Wisconsin-Denver game, the uncertain future of Minnesota goalie Jeff Frazee, the legitimacy of Michigan’s No. 1 ranking, and the potential cracks in the facades of Hockey East upstarts UMass, UMass Lowell, and Northeastern — even we couldn’t screw this one up.

Perhaps the better question regarding the most recent edition of the Inside College Hockey podcast is what don’t we talk about? This time around, we compare the CCHA to the WCHA and discuss the dominance of the former (be it real or perceived), break down the starts of Hockey East powers Maine and Boston College, and touch on a strong opening for Princeton. All this, plus an APB for Elisha Cuthbert.

Of course, there’s the usual amount of deterioration at the end for you to enjoy as we debate whose video-game talents were better: Jeremy Roenick or Pavel Bure.

The conference tournaments crescendo Saturday with championship games in five leagues, and in this week’s INCH Podcast, we debate the dwindling focus on league title games among fans and the the merits of third-place games. Things must be getting serious, because podcast deterioration is minimal.

It’s playoff time for everyone across the nation, and as happy as we are to see the postseason arrive, we spend very little time talking about it in this week’s INCH Podcast.

The most recent edition of USA Hockey Magazine ranked our podcast third on the list of must-have hockey podcasts, so we figure we better tighten up our show. Kind of. This week’s show focuses on top-ranked Notre Dame, the Beanpot, the Grand Forks police blotter, and pokes fun at the Boston P.D.
