A podcast made by and for fans who follow ice hockey living outside of North America. From Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers and all the colours of the NHL...
Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions.
…that is the question on many NHL players’ minds right now, when it comes to deciding whether to take up their spot on the Olympics rosters of their home countries (if selected of course).
But what would a potential positive COVID result mean for the fans, for their NHL clubs, for their mental health, and for their bank balance?
On this episode of NHL Fans From Afar, Clare & Jolon debate:
Are players selfish if they want to go play in the Olympics?
With more postponements and players entering COVID protocol across America & Canada, is it time for the NHL to bring back the taxi squad?
Vancouver Canucks kick up the arse clearly worked… ! But how? Could they turn it around and still bag a playoff spot?
Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker.

Biting is wrong
If you had to describe what you can and can't do someone in the NHL... I wonder how long it would take to get to saying... "oh yeah, you can't bite an opponent!" Anyway, this week that's exactly what happened and it's on our list of things to talk about.
Montreal have fired their longstanding GM and we look at what's next for a team which were only a few games away from lifting the cup last season.
Some big names have found themselves on the waiver wire and heading to the AHL including a two time Stanley Cup winning goaltender.
Plus as both our hosts teams are currently on winning streaks, there was a bit of Dallas Stars and Maple Leaf chat for good measure too.
Your hosts this week are Jolon Kemp Walker and Matt Day.
