18: Eyes for Ando

01/24/2025

We beat the London Knights! Okay, we played other games too but that’s the one you all want us to talk about. And we do! Plus, we discuss the other games played, previewed upcoming games and got deep on Connor McDavid’s suspension. 

It wouldn’t be an AudPod without some G.R.O.A.T. nominations and we have ventured into the video podcast world. So find us on YouTube for uncut episodes and see how many times Justin coughs throughout an episode.

17: Over the Hump(hreys)
#17
01/17/2025

Coming off an insane triple-header weekend, the AudFathers have a lot of grievances to air—but plenty of good stuff too. We saw newcomer Christian Humphreys fit right in on the top line, making an instant impact, while old friends like Lam and Reid were their usual, amazing selves.

Of course, no episode would be complete without a lively Oilers vs. Flames debate and some new G.R.O.A.T. nominations—we’re up to 23 now! Bracket challenge and fantasy drafting (?) coming soon.

14: Catalina Wine Mixer Strikes Back
#14
12/13/2024

This week, it’s all about winning stacked on top of more winning! The Rangers are a force to be reckoned with, and it’s no surprise they’ve climbed even higher in both the OHL and CHL power rankings.

Sure, the usual stars are getting their well-deserved recognition, but what about the newly formed line with the fresh new nickname? Did our team just evolve into having four first lines? Deep insights are shared across all topics, including the art of commentary.

As always, Andrew and Justin each add a G.R.O.A.T. nom...


13: Rise of the Parsites!

12/06/2024

The Audballs have rebranded and are now the Parsites—long live Jackson Parsons! The weekend's games did not disappoint, going three for three in delivering excitement. We witnessed the Pass of the Year from Cameron Reid, an incredible Save of the Year from an opposing goaltender, and a surprising flurry of Teddy Bears thrown at Luke “Theodore” Elinas for reasons still unclear but undeniably entertaining. Overall, it was a fantastic weekend of hockey, and as always, the G.R.O.A.T.s were nominated, including two fan submissions this week!

There was a lot of news to cover this week from ANOTHER NCAA commit coming to Kitchener to potential expansion and the CHL Prospects Tournament. Games are recapped and previewed. And we realized that we hadn't explained the G.R.O.A.T. recently so we did that and then nominated our G.R.O.A.T.s for the week including a fan nomination!

11: Reaction Jackson Parsons

11/22/2024

The AudBalls had their share of ups and downs this week. Recording in daylight seems to have an interesting effect on their cognition!
They recapped some great games, but when the big one of the season rolled around—London—it didn’t go as hoped.
On the bright side, Jackson Parsons proves himself an elite goaltender, earning well-deserved praise.
And, of course, the G.R.O.A.T.s are nominated!
