    Two The Rink - “How Well Do You REALLY Know The League?” (S3E87)

    This week the boys dive into the latest movement in the Greater Toronto Hockey League standings — who’s climbing, who’s sliding, and which teams are starting to separate themselves as we head into the stretch run.   We play a classic “how well do you really know the league?” game, trying to guess how many teams are actually in the GTHL. Let’s just say… we talk about it every week, but the numbers might surprise you.   Olympic hockey makes its way into the conversation — what it means for development, the buzz around international play, and why the Olympic stage just hits differently.   And we get into a spirited discussion about Scarborough Arena Gardens — including the debate around banners, history, and why some rinks choose not to hang championship banners at all.   As always, a mix of standings talk, hockey trivia, rants, laughs, and good old GTHL chaos.   New episodes drop weekly.

    Two The Rink - “Mad Dash” (S3E86)

    This week on Two the Rink, it’s officially playoff runway season and the vibes are somewhere between “we got this” and “who scheduled THAT tournament?” We break down the mad dash to the post-season, which teams are peaking at the right time, and which ones are googling tiebreaker rules at 11:47 p.m.   We also get into the legend of the birthday skate — because nothing says development like a birthday skates. Plus, what happens when you’ve got a senior GTHL employee’s kid on the roster    And of course, we run through this week’s standings shakeups — who’s climbing, who’s spiraling, and who is exactly where they’ve been since October like it’s a long-term lease.   Playoff energy, locker room chaos, and the usual rink-side nonsense. Let’s go.

    Two The Rink - “Mental Stamina” (S3E85)

    We kick things off with updates around the GTHL — who’s rolling, who’s wobbling, and what the vibes are right now. From there we get into the mental stamina it takes to be a pro (and a kid chasing it), touch on Marner’s return, and wrap it all up with the usual banter, chirps, and laughs. Hockey talk with a pulse, as always.

    Two The Rink - “How Did That Just Happen?” (S3E84)

    After a three week break, Two the Rink is back and somehow the hockey world did not calm down while we were gone.   Puffy checks in after Minnesota for the World Juniors and a Halifax trip that definitely included more than just hockey. We break down the emotional rollercoaster kids teams are riding heading into playoffs, the good, the ugly, and the “how did that just happen” moments every parent knows.   Then we get into the G drama everyone is talking about, including the GTHL suing Vaughan and Markham and what that could mean for the league moving forward. As always, we finish with Song of the Week and a few extra chirps for good measure.   Hockey stories, league chaos, and laughs. We’re back

    Two The Rink - “How They Do It In The US” (S3E83)

    This one is all GTHL, front to back. We run through what’s actually happening around the league right now — the teams trending up, the ones feeling the squeeze, and the conversations everyone’s having in the stands but pretending they’re not.   World Juniors come up, but only through the GTHL lens — what it means for players, parents, and expectations at home. Puffy’s upcoming Minnesota trip gets the same treatment: development, comparisons, and why people love to say “that’s how they do it in the U.S.” We also dig into the tightening rules around language in the game — how it’s being handled, where it’s fair, and where it’s getting messy.

    Two The Rink - “Scarborough Gardens” (S3E82)

    This week, Grant and Puffy are back with a fully loaded episode: we break down the chaos, glory, and play of the Silver Stick weekend, including Puffy’s trip to the Wolves game We recap the kids’ games from the week — the highs, the lows.  They also discuss that Scarborough Gardens has officially reopened, so of course we talk about the first game like it was the Leafs’ home opener. We also investigate the ongoing mystery of “Hockey Factory” — is it open? who runs it? does anyone actually know? — plus the usual GTHL updates, rumours, rants, and a brand-new GTHL quiz that may or may not expose how little we know about the league we talk about every week.

    Two The Rink - “Haunted Rink” (S3E81)

    Episode 81 brings the heat as we break down Ted Reeve’s huge U10 AA win, complete with all the parental fist-pumps and questionable bench-energy that came with it. We check in on the Hockey Factory, which remains closed or open or no one seems to know it’s getting more mysterious by the week—like a haunted rink that still owes you money.   Plus, we run through every update from the G: who’s buzzing, who’s sliding, who’s suddenly elite, and who needs a hard reset. Another week of hockey talk, mild chaos, and questionable insights.

    Two The Rink - “A Waffle A Day…” (S3E80)

    This week, G-Cat returns from a wild weekend in London, where the tournament delivered big moments and even bigger hotel-and-rink shenanigans. Puffy brings his trademark intel with a full set of G-updates — who’s rising, who’s sliding, and who’s mysteriously “day-to-day” despite being seen sprinting for free breakfast waffles. The boys also take a quick skate back in time with a little North Toronto hockey history, connecting the dots between the old days and the chaos of today’s GTHL.
