On this episode of the "House of Hockey" Podcast, Rae and her guest co-host Andy Zilch, dive deep into the latest NHL news, PWHL news and share candid opinions on the hottest topics in the hockey world. 

Andy kicks things off with a recap of his recent work trip, providing play-by-play for the St. Louis Blues and even getting the VIP treatment of flying on the team charter plane. They delve into the chaos of the line brawl heard around the league that happened 2 seconds into the NJ Devils at NY Rangers game, resulting in a mass ejection.

Speaking of goalies, tensions run high as St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington delivers a memorable punch to Anaheim's Johnston. Andy also shares his innovative Draft Lottery Idea, sparking lively discussion as Rae see’s some challenges.

The drama doesn't stop there as they dissect Brady Tkachuk's reaction to Nico Hischier's empty net goal and explore whether it's a case of hockey's unwritten rules or plain hypocrisy. Plus, they recount the unique experience of the Ottawa Senators battling blinding sunlight inside Capital One Arena during a game.

As the episode unfolds, they celebrate Jeff Skinner's 1,000th NHL game and discuss the Arizona Coyotes' ambitious plans for a new arena in North Phoenix, promising a privately funded $3B mixed-use development anchored by a state-of-the-art hockey arena.

But it's not just NHL news dominating the conversation. They shine a spotlight on the PWHL’s brand new championship trophy, The Walter Cup, and delve into the ECHL's decision to terminate the membership of the Newfoundland Growlers, leaving hockey fans pondering the fate of this Maple Leafs affiliate.

Andy is a freelance play-by-play hockey broadcaster who recently covered the ACHA National Championships in St.Louis, MO and works with the Champions Hockey League calling games. He recently spent 5 seasons with the AHL’s San Diego Gulls as their play-by-play broadcaster.
