Inside the NCHC Pod with Dave Starman, plus some Big 10 and non-conference matchups: Game of the Week college hockey podcast Season 3 Episode 2

In a season in which games are happening any night, it’s hard to settle on a single game of the week. In this episode, hosts Jim Connelly and Ed Trefzger are joined by hockey analyst Dave Starman, who is broadcasting more than half of the NCHC Pod games in Omaha for Midco Sports Network and NCHC.tv alongside play-by-play man Ben Holden. Dave takes us through what’s happening in the bubble and what teams are impressing him so far.

Jim and Ed also look at games coming up in the Big Ten and Atlantic Hockey, and some non-conference matchups within Hockey East.

They also add some more context to their thoughts about getting as many games in during this semester break and give a shout out to the streaming services allowing fans to see the games when they can’t be there in person.
