Enjoyed the show. Craig, Petey, and Leah helped the AZ fans through hard times and were rewarded by ALLCITY by getting laid off just before Christmas 2024. Good job ALLCITY. Hope all the hard working staff that got bad news will be able to watch from other employment, ALLCITY’s failure.
Great Podcast!

Ozz in AZ

Leah, Petey and Craig do a wonderful job breaking down the game greatest sport in the world. Even with the Coyotes moving to Utah, they cover ASU, AHL, NHL and youth hockey in a fun and very informative way. As long as they keep putting out episodes, I’ll be listening!

Their discussion of hockey including the coyotes and Asu is informative, as well as entertaining. Enjoy the banter between the old guys, and love Petey’s perspective. I am from MN, and BSU beaver and UND fighting Sioux alumni-so feel like kindred spirits. Keep the episodes coming❣️
