Solar Bears Camp from RDV Sportsplex Ice Den!

Listen to “1o3 :: Solar Bears Camp from RDV Sportsplex Ice Den!” on Spreaker.

We had the opportunity to bring Hockey Now to Orlando Solar Bears Camp at RDV Sportsplex after their Team Scrimmage! Taylor Doherty stopped by first to talk about his first stint with the Solar Bears, and his experience last season in the Czech Republic. Then, new Solar Bear Jake Marchment joined us to talk about his expectations for the coming season, and what kind of insight he got from his cousin, Mason Marchment, a former Solar Bear.

Our buddy Jackson Playfair stops by as we continue the show from RDV Sportsplex Ice Den after the Solar Bears Team Scrimmage! You really won’t believe the summer Jackson had, LITERALLY crisscrossing through the continent on his way to Orlando! Of course, we have to hit Jacky (this will make more sense after you listen) with the 20 Questions – and Nick geeks out about Jackson’s Flow. The word “Flow-God” was used.

The last of 3 parts from our time at RDV with the Solar Bears after their Team Scrimmage! We spend some time getting to know Solar Bears Goaltender Zach Fucale, a former 2nd round draft pick of the Montreal Canadiens, and the impact Carey Price has had on his game! We’ll also hit Zach with the 20 Questions!

Kristin Baier – Director of Marketing and Game Presentation – stops by to talk about some of the promotional nights for the coming season – including some of the specialty jerseys the team will wear! Jesse Liebman also swings by before we wrap up the recording for some quick hits and insight to the coming season and some players we’re excited to see take the next step this year!

Listen to “ON-AIR INTERVIEW :: OSB Forward Jackson Playfair” on Spreaker.

Jackson Playfair will return to the Orlando Solar Bears for the 2019-20 season, as core of the group continues to solidify. Jackson shares his reasons for returning to the Bears and his experience upon arriving in Orlando after his full season in University. We talk about Jackson’s dad, Jim Playfair, who has just joined the Edmonton Oilers’ coaching staff, and his excitement for the Solar Bears new Assistant Coach, Jared Staal.

And Froot Loops. And Vegan foods. And Hockey Pajamas. It was a 31 minute interview!

The Great 2019 NHL Offseason RFA Dilemma!

Listen to “The Great 2019 NHL Offseason RFA Dilemma!” on Spreaker.

Have we talked about the RFA’s in the NHL all summer long? Yes, too much, probably.

However, the fact remains: Brayden Point, Mitch Marner, Patrik Laine and Mikko Rantanen are only a few of several without contract, just weeks out of Training Camp. Are these guys worth the money they want? Where does the skill tier break up amongst these players?

Another core player is returning to the Solar Bears this season, and (we’ll attempt) the fan-favorite “Nick’s Rink Report”.

Episode 18 – Jackson Playfair, The Path of the Bolts and Trade Deadline Transactions!

Listen to “Episode 18 – Jackson Playfair, The Path of the Bolts and Trade Deadline Transactions!” on Spreaker.

(:52) Solar Bears Forward Jackson Playfair joins the show to talk about the process of him joining the team after his season at Dalhousie University and his thoughts on the team’s current potential. Jackson talks about taking on teams who play a chippy game, and what he brings to the ice as a player. Also, Playfair shares how his families hockey legacy influences his game. Oh – and his brother is Reilly in Letterkenny!

(24:55) The road is set for the Lightning towards the playoffs, and their 10 game winning streak is evidence of their domination. When do the Lightning start their preparation for the Playoffs? Resting Players? There so much, and so little, to discuss when it comes to the Bolts!

(39:19) Trade Deadline transactions. Pretty much the whole NHL Segment is Trade Deadline transactions. AND John Tavares going back to Long Island to see his old team, and their very upset fans. Mostly Trade Deadline transactions, though.
