Episode 81 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network and The Hockey Podcast Network I get back to normal with a conversation with NYPD Hockey Team goaltender Brandon Bassett. Brandon took over the NYPD net from Episode 54 guest Mike Nano when Mike stepped away from the team. Brandon got his first start in the NYPD-FDNY Rivalry Game this spring in an uncharecteristically low scoring 2-1 overtime loss.

Episode 80 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network and The Hockey Podcast Network is a little different than other episodes. After taking a few weeks off from the podcast after my Mom's unexpected passing I was joined by Justin Goldman of The Goalie Guild and Lift the Mask project. I wanted Justin to be a part of this episode because he too unexpectedly lost his mom a little over a year ago, but also his work advocating for mental health and his efforts to normalize talking about trauma. We both approached the discussion not being afraid to be vulnerable, and because of that at times the talk gets raw. It was also therapeutic, and if us sharing our experience can help just one other person dealing with loss it was worth it. Selfishly though, this was an episode I needed to do for myself. It was therapeutic. Be sure to follow Justin on social media, and enjoy this special episode.

For Episode 79 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network and The Hockey Podcast Network, I chat with Andy Nadeau, the son of episode 8 guest Donny Nadeau, and a goalie I first met when he was just a tough hockey player sweeping up the Saint Mary's University of Minnesota arena during summer hockey camps when I was in college. It was fun to talk to Andy again after not talking other than exchanging comments and likes on social media for over 20 years.  Music on this podcast is courtesy of The Zambonis.

For Episode 78 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network and The Hockey Podcast Network, I chat with Kent State senior Shea Spanier who will be playing in the Israeli Elite Hockey League this summer for the Haifa Mariners.

We also discussed how he discovered hockey in Israel, and how the opportunity he has this summer will help the game grow, but might help prolong his competitive career as well.  Be sure to follow Shea on social media, and enjoy the episode.

For Episode 74 of Tendy Talk presented by the BLPA Podcast Network and The Hockey Podcast Network, I chat with SPHL Pensacola Ice Flyer goalie Cody Karpinski. Cody called in from the beach - literally, he was sitting on the beach, so the audio on this episode isn't perfect with the wind in the background. Despite the wind, it is still a great episode as we talk about how Cody took time off from hockey in his teens yet still played college and now minor league hockey, practicing with the Blackhawks during one of their Stanley Cup runs, and about a recent injury of his.
