The Next Shift Podcast is an upgrade from our old show, “Puck Off.” Chris Nosek and Kenny Kaminsky join forces as they bring coverage and analysis to leagues from around the world. Chris and Kenny follow the path of players who are in the AHL, NCAA, QMJHL, OHL, WHL, and other leagues, as they travel their journeys in the game of hockey - and fight to make it to the National Hockey League.
Julian McKenzie joined Chris and Kenny as he prepares for the release of his new book, Black Aces: Essential Stories from Hockey’s Black Trailblazers. They discuss Julian’s book-writing journey, the Ottawa Senators’ goaltending struggles, and more.

A Chat With Jimmy Murphy
After a busy weekend of trades across the NHL, Chris and Kenny are joined by Jimmy Murphy of RG Media. They discuss the trade that saw Tristan Jarry and Stuart Skinner swap teams, as well as Quinn Hughes being moved to the Minnesota Wild. Jimmy also talks about the Friendship Four, which was played in Belfast, Ireland, and how he got roped into color commentary during this year's tournament.
