Season 2 premier

Blake’s a first time rink builder who’s done something that most might think about…. Dyed his rink water. Oh yes, you read that correctly. You know you want to listen now!? And jimmy makes a surprising bet with Blake on the Packer/Vikings game (which happening to be tonight!). But the one revelation that comes out in this episode is who’s not seen Die Hard!

This week guest host Mike Pfiefer, known for his way of cooking steaks and helping build ODRs sits in when we talk with Matt who’s all hockey down at the last stop before Antarctic! He grew up in Buffalo and moved south, opening a restaurant before going all in with hockey - coaching, rink maintenance and his pro shop where he builds hockey sticks. Grab an Old Fashioned and sit back for this holiday sized episode. And as a bonus, they discuss what you csn spend that holiday money from your uncle on down at the Barbecue Supply Company!

Goalie coach and former UW Badger goalie Shane Connelly joins the boys to talk about growing up hockey and playing in the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic at Lambeau Field. They get the low down on playing in front of 40,000 in one of the most storied venues, tiny goalies and Eric’s “Connelly for Hobey Baker shirt”. For those who don’t know, Hobey Baker Award is for the top NCAA men’s ice hockey player.

This week the boys sit down and talk with Brian Packard of YardRink. A system that allows you to put the boards on the liner and fill the the boards with water, wrapping the liner up the back. You know how Jimmy feels about kit building ODR, so it’s interesting to see how he feels about the “new” concept. They cover saving tarps vs. new, connection to the NHL and offering a discount code to our listeners. If you have looking at this system and was not sure about it, give a listen - or just listen for the guys “hot take” on Ant-Man.

Welcome back for another season! We’ve got a round table discussion of some hot button topics - leaves, batteries and boards. Jimmy brings along our friend James Daniels (Uncle Jimmy’s Unicorn Farm) to help support him and his “wrong” answers. There’s a call to Glenn Buchanan (Jug Club - Ep. 9) to help answer he question is a small rink easier to maintain than a larger one. Grab a piece of Halloween candy and your favorite beverage and enjoy!

Season 1 comes to a close - I know, you're sad. But don't be - we'll be back with season 2 before you know it! We rehash favorite moments from the season, learning we really have not worked anything out on our end - leading subculture vs stupidity. When it comes back to sandwiches - where do corn dogs fit? Building rinks with your plans - NiceRink.com - Leaving it up year round because you are lazy - were do you stand. We say farewell to our new friends (most in Manitoba), hope that Jimmy has not ruined his teams chances this coming year at the USA Pond hockey championships and hope that Anthony has learned a little when it comes safely being on his ice. #NiceRink.com #ODRlife #BackyardHockey #SeasonFinale

They are back in studio NiceRink.com! We 're are talking liners. We're talking lights (the brightest lights we've seen)! We're talking about the upgrades to NiceRink.com and the new program that lets you see what their rink would look like in yard! We're talking NHL level skills to develop on your ODR! And, winter grilling rink side with supplies you can get at The Barbeque Supply Company! And, Jimmy's wrong like 7 times. It was sweeps month when we recorded, but we got busy at Milwaukee's Irishfest and delayed the upload. Don't be like Anthony and wait too long. Go listen now! There's a conversation about are bad movies good if you like them, and Battleship, but.... NiceRink.com is giving our listeners a DISCOUNT CODE!!!! You read that right, A DISCOUNT CODE for NiceRink.com

We are back with a full episode featuring NiceRink.com this week! If you are starting to think about the coming ODR season, THIS IS THE EPISODE you need to listen to. With all tips and inspiration with Jim and Evan, it comes down to intersection of Time vs. Effort vs. Money. We can list all the things covered - "Like what if it snows before I get my liner down?" - but we're not. STOP READING and hit play. #NiceRink #FrozenMemories from the Barbeque Supply Company Studios #bbqsc #ODRlife

There is so much packed into this week's show. Ya... we had a little delay with vacations - but Matt Brown from New Hampshire brings it this week! Tommy Kaifesh sits back down and show starts with a heated debate over hot dogs. Things settle out with Homeboni, Leaves, the winter classic in Lake Tahoe and the greatest Boston Bruin. If that was not enough - Rink liner use/reuse, and setting your home rink up for sled hockey

Pool vs. Rink.... where do you sit? What's more work? Tommy Kaifesh sits back in, and we hope to give a little more to who he is. Mike Waddell stops by and talks his ODR (railroad ties and old school building) and the long lonely train north of Canada. To get it out of the way ... Jordin Tootoo is not dead, Tommy can rest easy. Not to worry, Mike worries about leaves and logos, Who has the best ice and Staking the river.
