What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

With any sport I’m interested in, my attention to them comes and goes. That’s just the way it is for me, at this point in life. The same applies to hockey. When the passion for hockey does come around, Doug and Eddie are always there, like old friends. I found the Puck Podcast around the 2010-11 season. Back then, there wasn’t a lot to listen to, as a fan in Alabama. Alabama isn’t exactly the hotbed for hockey fans. Every time the hockey itch does flare up for hockey again, I always turn to the Puck Podcast, even though there are a greater number of options to follow the sport now. Doug and Eddie do a great job and have always been there, week after week. Thanks for what you do and keep it up!

I listen to many hockey podcasts, but was surprised I hadn’t listened to this one yet. I just discovered this podcast and I can’t recommend it enough. The hosts are knowledgeable and cover the entire NHL, with in depth analysis and commentary. My only critique would be for the hosts to shorten their intro, because the first 23 minutes is them talking about everything but hockey. Maybe I’m just impatient, but otherwise a great place to get you NHL news!

This is my go-to podcast to get a beat on what’s going on throughout the NHL. Great, concise weekly recaps for every team. These guys have been doing it for a long time, and their chemistry speaks to that.
