Secret Admirers
The BLPA Big Show
Alert alert 🚨 Nick has a secret admirer and it's NOT himself (allegedly). We got a mysterious email from a loyal lonely girl and while we're protecting the identity, we must get to the bottom of this. We also dive into Nick's new NHL team, get a guest on who designs hockey jerseys, and have some more guest hot takes. Thanks for being heeeeere!

Good times had by some

They thought we were on gummies tonight. We were, but not the weeeeeeeed kind. And not the blue chew kind either (but maybe next week). We did poetry or noetry, discussed a new NHL team for Nick to support (and learned some crazy things about the Wild logo), shared some hockey facts that seem fake annnnnd unveiled some of the sweet DEX jerseys coming up. Good times were had by some. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Jetlagged & Making Deals With The Devil
The BLPA Big Show
Makin deals with the devil...aka what would you do to be able to make six figures playing hockey? Turns out Nick would do a lot. We fought jet lag, talked Halloween costumes, and got into sex hotels. Well, not literally into them. But you know. Or maybe you don't. Anyway we love you! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

BLPA Takes on Japan
The BLPA Big Show
Nick woke up at basically 4am for this podcast (it was 8am and he thought he was up before the sun) but had some Japan stories to make up for it. We asked you...what's the most expensive gear/hockey memorabilia you own and got some good'uns. We also talked best hockey logos (shoutout Turbo Pigeons), all the upcoming BLPA Worldwide trips, and Nick's Japans 4-game record—no cheeseburger or sushi in his pocket this time.

KONNICHIWA – こんにちは
The BLPA Big Show
Warning: we got kinda deep today?? Deep in octopussy balls, deep in the feels, deep in Japan talk...Nick gave us a live, real-time fake mukbang review of some of the killer food he's getting in Japan, we crack open "We're Not Really Strangers" and ask some vulnerable questions, and get some beer league frustrations off our chest. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/
info_outlineNICK. IS. ALIVE!!! We hear the harrowing tale of his nearish-death experience in Iceland. Was it a mirage or were there really attractive Icelandic nurses pumping his IVs and leaving him in the hallway for hours on end? Was it a hallucination or did he in fact rip out his own tubes and walk out of the hospital unsupervised? Plus, a new take on whether ring/cup culture is ruinning how we talk about athletes, testing Nick's hockey vocab knowledge, and why you need to show up to a tournament (becuase it's not every day that Nick gets a second chance at life)
