Nailing it with the Fellowship of the Rinks Pod. Thank you for getting that Athletic inside info from Joe. Love the pod, love Z and Hoppy, love the vibes. Super relatable and fresh

Actually discovered these guys the same night I saw Malt Madness, so I got a full-scale indoctrination into the show, albeit with the beer-heavy twist.
Started listening at 99, so I’ve only got a bit to go on, but I love the banter and the synergy between everyone. I barely know the names here, but I feel like I’ve been listening to my buddies talk about beer and hockey for years.
My Final 4, based on my tastes are:
Tin Whiskers, Bent Paddle, UTEPILS WITH THE UPSET and Lift Bridge.
Can’t wait to listen to the next 100 shows.

Isha and Hoppy bring great perspective to the hockey podcast sphere. Isha being from Vancouver and Hoppy from out East, allow for unbiased opinions of the Minnesota Wild! I’ve been lucky enough to be a guest a few times and they’re great company. If you wanna feel like you’re at your local bar shooting the breeze your buddies, this is the perfect podcast!

This is one the most savvy and chill hockey podcasts around. From discussing hockey topics to craft beer this podcast is a true experience. Isha and the State of Hoppy are always on point and the variety of interviews you have on the show is amazing! Fantastic podcast!
