Grab a cold one and pull up a spot on the bench—Episode 13 is officially live!

This week, the Squires cover everything from NHL safety mandates to the eye-watering price of youth hockey:

• The NHL's Neck Guard Rule: Cut-resistant Kevlar tech, compression collar upgrades, and why the grandfather clause allows veterans to opt out.

• Locker Room Style & Gear Quirks: Dangling chin straps and the ultimate cage vs. visor vs. full-face bubble debate.

• Youth Hockey Sticker Shock: San Jose adult league fees hitting $15,700/season—are high-cost markets pricing future players right out of the game?

• Best & Worst Seats in the Barn: Tactical upper bowl views vs. lower bowl action (and why glass seats might actually ruin your puck-tracking).

• 3rd Line Hockey Tournaments: Individual draft-style adult rec tournaments featuring 5 guaranteed games, custom jersey kits, and upcoming stops in Fort Wayne (IN), Jacksonville (FL), and Edinburgh (Scotland)!

Episode 12 is in the books! Josh took the week off, Randy is in the house, and Wags was broadcasting live from what we assume was a tin-can-and-string setup (apologies for the lag, folks).

This week, the boys dive deep into the wild world of sports economics and adult league etiquette:

• NHL Money Machine: Where are player salaries heading, and who is about to demand the next record-breaking contract?

• Hometown Discounts vs. Risky Biscuits: Should players take less to stay put, or force teams to roll the dice on massive, potentially painful top-dollar deals?

• The Legend of Bobby Bonilla: A quick detour into the holy grail of deferred sports paydays.

• Soccer Slander? Do pitch runners actually run as much as people claim, or are they just pacing themselves?

• Beer League Dilemma: Draft tournaments vs. playing on multiple league teams—which gives you the best bang for your buck?

• Ref Whisperers: The secret art of actually getting along with adult hockey officials (Spoiler alert: Just don't be a dick).

• Life Hacks: Randy closes out the show by giving us a masterclass on how to properly address a banana. You're welcome.

• Beauty of the Week: Big love to our hockey family. We’re shining a spotlight on the DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation Midwest for their incredible Survivor Game, raising $20,000 for a local brother fighting Stage 3 cancer. This is why we love this game.

• Locker Room Bluetooth Anarchy: Think before you hijack the team speaker 10 minutes before puck drop to play indie folk....

• The Late-Game Food Debate Gauntlet: We saved the pure chaos for last with a rapid-fire triple header:

  1. The PB&J War: The PB&J debate got wild—things escalated fast.....

  2. Leftover Pizza Etiquette: Does the box go straight into the fridge, or does it live on the kitchen counter like late-night luxury?
