Speaker 1: Well, hello, my chicken wing lovers and food fanatics. I
want to tell you about a gem right in the
heart of Webster, Cobblestone on Maine at one on nine
West Main Street. We've been talking about them since the
inception of the podcast. This isn't just another restaurant. It's not.
It's a flavored destination that has everybody talking. We're talking
about mouth watering dishes like they're grilled salt and pepper
pork chopped with blue cheese, and crispy Brussels sprouts topped
with a tantalizing tomato, bacon chutney and balsamic glaze. Doesn't
that sound amazing? There's more. If you've got a chicken
wing expert in your family, and we mean true connoisseur,
they're gonna be in heaven. My fourteen year old son
swears these are some of the best wings in town.
And the best part, these dishes are perfect for sharing.
So gather your friends, bring your appetite, and experience the
deliciousness that is Cobblestone on Maine, located at one on
nine West Main Street in the village of Webster. We're
incredible flavors, meat on forgettable.
Speaker 2: Dining when your old career gives you lemons throwing some
ice mix in some vodka. Call it a podcast from
the Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven
by Victor Chrysler Dots. Gee Rahm, it's Billified, the Bill
Moran Podcast.
Speaker 1: Well, hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on.
Thank you for telling a friend. That's how we spread
the word about the pirate ship. Kevin had said to
me that we could talk to his son Tyler and
some teammates, and so he brought it. Is it Arian
or Darien as well? I was way off, wasn't I apologize?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: But I thought Kevin, we would keep it kind of
to to hockey stuff and folkscus on on these guys
because I think it's there. What's your record Tyler?
Speaker 3: Right now? In section five.
Speaker 4: Thirteen and thirteen like that?
Speaker 1: Are you the are you the top team in sex?
And five? Yeah? Fifth or fourth?
Speaker 3: Fifth or fourth?
Speaker 4: Aris is our team captain and then Tyler's our team stickboy?
Speaker 1: Okay, uh was there? Well, I'll ask this because you
guys go to a school that has pretty academic, pretty
rigorous academically, right, I mean the quintus is is that way,
and I'm sure there's a lot of how do you
balance the demands of hockey with your school work?
Speaker 5: Uh, well, we don't coach do big on school work.
He's a teacher himself, so he understand if you know,
we have to be a couple a couple of minutes
later or skip practice to stay after the work. That's
mainly as big focus on school work because he wants.
Speaker 1: Us to there any hacks that you have, did you
like get ahead and balance it all? Study house? You study?
Do you get sports study halls too? Like next year?
Speaker 6: I think next year as a senior you will.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just use your study house.
Speaker 6: To your advantage because just get all your stuff done early.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So what are you a junior and you're a sophomore?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, and uh all right. I always think like it's
it's got to be a tough balancing act because hockey
is like demand.
Speaker 3: I'd be exhausted by the end of it. I don't
want to do I'm.
Speaker 4: Long in bed and there's nights or carries, like, yeah,
Tyler's up till like two doing homework.
Speaker 1: Wow, really Tyler?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because Tyler's also a gigantic procrastinator. But other than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still, but he's getting it done, right, He's
getting it done. Yeah. What's the one thing you wish
he had more time for outside of hockey in school?
Speaker 3: Is there anything?
Speaker 1: Training for hockey? More for real? Yeah? Okay, training for
hockey more like.
Speaker 6: More time to work out, more time for ice?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, I'm addicted to it.
Speaker 4: It's not the girls.
Speaker 1: They'll be there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll be there, So.
Speaker 1: They'll be there. The game's gotta go, the game's gotta be.
Uh well, it's kind of nice than that. You have
a teacher that understands kind of the grind of your
schedule and stuff like that. But do they support you?
Do they ever give you extra time to get things
done or get things completed? Or is it just like, man,
you better?
Speaker 5: It kind of just depends on the teacher you have.
Speaker 1: Okay, you ever had to finish homework on the on
the bus on the way to a game or something? No?
Speaker 5: But I did actually have to finish homework on the
way home from the Sabers game the other day. I
had to finish an essay.
Speaker 3: Really, how did that go?
Speaker 5: It was good. I took about thirty minutes to the
cry at home for Buffalo.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that's so cool. Now you used
to have to do homework on the bus and it
would hit like you.
Speaker 4: Hit a bumping. Yeah, you're just typing.
Speaker 1: It right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Most my work is all digital.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're just sitting there. How great is that?
Like they wouldn't know when you did it?
Speaker 6: No, Yeah, it's like it's very easy to cheat. Like personally,
I don't cheat, but like a lot of people where
it's like they're known for like just having their phones
under them like and.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I'm talking about like just doing your
regular homework in the cars.
Speaker 4: Like like you said with the AI and the chat GPT,
well it's almost see that we're talking about net where
you could potentially have a doctoral dissertation written for GPT,
you can get damn doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, if you pay the extra it's one of
their two hundred bucks for the addition. Well I'm going
two hundred bucks from a more doctorate. It's like you
got a good Yeah.
Speaker 4: How long does it take to become a doctor?
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Are they tough areas on on AI and stuff?
Speaker 3: Do they ever give anything back?
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's like turning in it's called turning dot com
and it's like we have to upload like most teachers.
It's like any like big essays, you got to upload
them on this website and it's like AI detector.
Speaker 3: An AI detector on there.
Speaker 1: There was also one I saw a test where now
they have software they could tell how long you spent
writing the essay and it showed.
Speaker 3: Some guy took like a video on.
Speaker 1: The computer of a senior doing it and he could
see where he just cut and paced from AI. Right.
Luckily Conus does have that. Yes, it's like five I
think I think it put down like it was done
in fifteen or twenty second. It's kind of I mean,
I don't blame it, but how do you handle when
you have like a big game and a major test
on the same day. Is one two distracting for the other?
Like just the big game, keep your mind off just
about the game. You're focused about the game. So what
happens to the test, then it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6: Test is in the way. Test is the way we're
gonna get it done. It's just kind of there, Yeah,
we're gonna get.
Speaker 1: It done and then keep a pushing. Have you been
playing hockey like I know, Tyler's been playing since what
two No? Four or five? You've been playing since you
were three years old? Really? Jeez? Uh Okay, do you
ever feel pressure from parents to perform at a high level?
They ever get on you a little bit? I mean,
there's a lot of money invested in this. I'm just saying,
like there's a lot of money in time that's invested
in running you guys around and getting into places and
it is.
Speaker 6: But luckily my mom, no, there's no pressure cause like
I feel like I know like what I want, Like
I know what my dream is and I'm gonna push
towards that. So in the end, like my mom doesn't
really pressure.
Speaker 1: Me at all.
Speaker 3: How do they do they challenge you at all in
a way like.
Speaker 6: I mean, or help you. They definitely your challenges. They
definitely helped me and like they support me one hundred.
But I feel like they give me the dependency like
if you want it, you're gonna go get it, and
if you don't want it, then stop doing it, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you play another hockey teams as well?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Playing a roll Co travel team triple.
Speaker 3: A Okay, and you do as well?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are you playing I just played double for
the Aces.
Speaker 1: Okay. So so there's the Aces, and the Aces is.
Speaker 4: Monroe County and then there's ROCAS I think Rochester Youth
and okay, yeah, there's like four or five different organizations.
Speaker 3: And how long does this that season go? Aris?
Speaker 6: So we started in August, late August. We played fifty
five games from August to November.
Speaker 1: Only crap, it's like a game of It's like a
game every other day.
Speaker 6: We had four Boston tournaments, Pittsburgh tournament, in Ohio tournament. Uh,
and then like two or three Rochester tournaments.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're getting four games, five games and then
a weekend.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a real schedule, but you know, we get
it done. I mean, Austin's fun. I like traveling. I
mean last year last year was even worse because we
were going to like Michigan some times, which was really far.
But this year, I mean adapted to it, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: It was just excited to play different teams and I'll
be able to travel and go get scouted and stuff
like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're looking to go on and hockey. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So basically what it does is these the older kids,
the high school kids, fresh sophomores and above usual play
for Sun in August and it'll run till the middle
of November. Then they'll break have their high school season.
And then once high schools over and we go back
and we do the playoffs for for our league and
any end of the season tournament. So states, yeah, States
and stuff like that. So there's there's still some season
left after high school's.
Speaker 3: Over, and then what does that rap?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: June now a rap and in.
Speaker 4: March, middle of March. But then these guys als also
with the high school, we've traveled. We went to Lake Placid. Yeah,
we've gone to Buffalo. The dream again. The godfather Acquines Hockey,
mister Nudge took a team probably ten or fifteen years ago.
They went and did a trip and they played in Europe. Yeah,
they played three or four games in Europe. And it
was always mister Nutche's dream before he passed to take
the boys again. So I started some grassroots and maybe
we'll get there when when Brady gets.
Speaker 1: There, Wow, that would be sweet. Uh, Tyler, I need
you to be honest with me. Oh dear, have your
parents ever embarrassed you at a game? Because your dad
seems I've watched your dad seems to keep it together,
but I know that some parents can lose their mind
a little bit. Uh.
Speaker 5: I haven't said really embarrassed, but there's been times where,
I think a year or two ago, him and another
parent of my team, they do like to yell at
the rest sometimes. And there was this funny story where
my dad was yelling and the ref actually threw out
the other guy.
Speaker 4: Let me clarify the story real quick. It's it was
me and purse pisser, okay, and we were there was
a bad call. We were letting the ref know it,
and at the point the ref turned around and looked
at us.
Speaker 3: I stopped.
Speaker 4: Yeah, purse pisser, he'll tell you he didn't, but he did.
He kept going, he made it personal and the ref
kicked him out.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, what I.
Speaker 4: Know where the line is?
Speaker 1: What's the funniest? Like, I gotta think there's some parents
though that you know of other players on the team
that are really loud and intense.
Speaker 4: Do you have the story he told me in the
car Boys?
Speaker 5: Yeah, a story one of my really good friends.
Speaker 4: You don't have to name names.
Speaker 5: He actually coach just yelled at him on the bench
to tell his dad to stop making stupid comments in
the stands or else he's going to lose it on
the kid and the dad.
Speaker 7: Wow, yeah it was no, I'm sure, but but like
I don't know if it's the sport that they you
pay more money or the higher level stuff, like sometimes
the parents feel like they gotta get mean.
Speaker 4: Sometimes there's a bar at the rank.
Speaker 1: That might be that that that might be the thing.
What was your story areas? What happened?
Speaker 6: So a couple of years ago, it's kind of like
going back to like pressure on the kid. Yeah, he
had like the state camp for like USA Hockey, which
like later goes on to like if you go on
to like a national camp and it's like a weekend
oswego college like New York State kids. And there's this
one kid from Long Island who really good kid, like
he's committed d one college now and he's committed. He
got drafted to the us HL and he missed a
shootout goal and his dad left and told him to
find a ride home to Long Island from oswego for real,
for real, and Deacon find a ride home. And then
we were probably fourteen.
Speaker 4: Do you I threatened Tyler once with that, remember I
do I know, but I didn't leave him. But is
like what how how did that can handle it?
Speaker 6: He was like he was kind of like laughing. He
was like laughing about it, like you like you could
tell like like it's just like weird, like you tell
like he was a little hurt.
Speaker 4: His dad didn't really leave though.
Speaker 6: He was gone because there's like there's like a couple
other of his teammates there. But he was like, yeah,
find a ride with your teammates. They left him.
Speaker 4: That seems I'm a dick, but I'm not an asshole.
Speaker 3: See that. That seems rather intenched to me.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean he's committed you one now, so
I mean it's worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe, But at the same time, like you never
know what, I guess you have to know the kid right.
Speaker 5: Walking home, I can drive next year.
Speaker 1: Well there you go.
Speaker 4: That that could be uh test this year.
Speaker 1: What's the best piece of advice you've received from a
maybe a hockey coach that doesn't apply just to hockey
but also to life. Do you ever have because you know,
you guys, it's young men, right, and a lot of
times you spend a lot of time together. I gotta think,
like the season's long, even for high school, it's long,
and you know you've got to be a little I
would think maybe closer than some other teams.
Speaker 4: This team is really close. So we started in June
this year and they've been on the ice maybe once
a week, twice a week since June.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's.
Speaker 4: Always at the end, it's always a huddle in the middle,
and it's always a chant of family. I mean, these
boys are very very close with each other.
Speaker 1: Sure, do you get any Can you think of any
advice anybody gave you? Or maybe maybe not, Maybe there's nothing.
Speaker 6: I would say comparison is the thief of joy, because yeah,
that's a great one. Everyone's path is different, especially if
you want to advance moving forward on hockey. So can't
compare yourself to anyone because you know everyone has a
different path. You just gotta work, keep working your tail
off until you get that blessing.
Speaker 3: What what? What is the what motivates you?
Speaker 1: Aris? What?
Speaker 3: What's the thing that makes aries tick?
Speaker 1: Because I I you know, when I asked you what
could you if you could do something more outside of
hockey in school, you said more hockey training and then I.
Speaker 6: Would just feel like the support from my that I've
gotten for my family motivates me the.
Speaker 1: Best because.
Speaker 6: This is like I feel like I wants a lifetime opportunity.
No one in my family's ever gotten this opportunity that
I've had.
Speaker 1: So, you know, anybody else played hockey.
Speaker 6: No, So I'm used to my best advantage.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but where does that come from? Like for you?
Speaker 1: What? What? What is making Because a lot of kids
could have an opportunity and play pretty good. You seem
like you want to take this as what what what's
inside you?
Speaker 6: That fire hockey is an expensive sport? Sure, and I'm
not We don't. We don't have the most money in
the world. But like like I was saying, with the opportunity,
my sister had to quit gymnastics because of the money thing.
So you know, I was just gonna take this opportunity
as far as I can go. You know, I want
to be able to play hockey where I can either
make money or not have to pay someone for playing hockey.
Ye play hockey for free. So that's the dream.
Speaker 1: That's the dream. Yeah, that's the dream.
Speaker 3: So you see yourself, do you? I mean, could it
be a long term career goal.
Speaker 6: Then I want to say long term career goal, but
I definitely want to be in hockey with my career,
like maybe coaching, like equipment staff stuff like that around there,
or like sports management something around there.
Speaker 3: But have you been scouted by teams D one teams
or times?
Speaker 6: Not college yet, but I'm hoping I go into prep
school next year, Okay, and if not that, I'm gonna
try to go to a junior's team in the North
American Hockey League or like a program under that team.
It's like a farm team for that.
Speaker 1: So you would possible we go to a prep school
for your senior year. I would redo my junior year,
redo your junior so you do junior, senior year, senior
Yeah there. Yeah, have you looked at any.
Speaker 6: I looked at two Palm friend Portsmouth Palm fred scout
offs to a hot start, so they have twenty seven
They had twenty seven forwards apply.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the coach called me.
Speaker 6: You know, he's like very competitive field, you know, and
also like I'm asking for a lot of money obviously. Yeah,
so they can only give out too financial aid. So
it also comes down to that, so he tole me
who reach on a couple of weeks. But the Portsmouths
guy just told me wait till admissions does their thing
and be patient. So I'm just waiting for next month,
seeing how that works out, seeing if I can get
the financial aid, and if I don't, I'll probably do that.
Speaker 1: Other do you do extra training outside of hockey workouts?
Speaker 3: You know, team workouts you run at.
Speaker 6: Home obviously, Yeah, like I do my own workouts and
are Roke we do a lot for Roco as well.
So and also Andy Rice. I don't know if you
know Andy Race is that relentless. He does stuff at
Lake Store as well. Okay, stuff with him the summer.
Speaker 1: So you're very strict about your diet and stuff too.
Speaker 6: I'm a little looser and the diet, but you know,
I just try to gain. Wait, you know, I'm kind
of undersize, so I'm talking to gain as much way
as I can, gotcha.
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things that's gotten a lot
different from when even when I was a kid, or
even so much when Sam was was younger than these
guys that they've done and built in. I know Monroe
County does it. It's part of the UH. If the
fee you pay. You get, you get that off ice
training stuff, you get that that workout room stuff that
that you know, dry land training. It's all included. Now
it's part of your practice clinics and stuff like that, Okay,
to make the kids better versus just going to you know,
practice two times a week and then a game on Saturday.
And a game.
Speaker 3: Well, some game has changed.
Speaker 1: I mean even you know for football and stuff too.
Speaker 3: You'll see they used to be.
Speaker 1: Smoking on the side line or on the bench in
hockey and drinking a beer or something like that.
Speaker 4: Our friend Johnson told us about how much you know,
back in the day, the Russians would have their vod
cup in the ceiling and they'd be drinking and smoking
darts between periods. And now it's it's all. It's here's
your protein shake between periods, and here's your apple, here's
your ola bar and yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like in the summer, we had full access to
the gym at a quietness, Like we were in the
gym two three times a week in the summer, just
you know, working out getting better because our main goal
this years is a sectional title. It is, That's what
we emphasize every day at practice. You know, our coach says,
we got to be the aggressors and we had to
come out every day full force if we want to win.
That won the brick.
Speaker 1: So do you what what what level is it?
Speaker 6: Class A, class double A or class B class Class
A and class B.
Speaker 1: Class Did they do away with double A?
Speaker 4: It's all based on student enrollment in the district.
Speaker 6: There's only like I mean teams, you say.
Speaker 4: I think there's eight in Class B. I think Victor
is playing down because they ride They ride that. Victor
rides the enrolled in mine YEA every year for sports
and then have irondicquoit. It's down with us Batavia, Geneseo, Geneva,
and I think maybe I think ken Egg was up,
but I think church Fill is down this year.
Speaker 1: How who's the toughest in your in Class B?
Speaker 6: They say Victor right now, but we'll see Thursday.
Speaker 3: Is that the first time you're playing them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've got a couple of losses, tough losses the
last two games. Okay, all right, I would say either
one of the Webster teams personally, Really.
Speaker 4: We're the toughest, We're the toughest.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that is the answer. That is the answer.
Speaker 4: We can take Patavia, we can take Victor, we can
take them all.
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna take them moment when we come back,
I want to ask a couple of questions about social
media and here pressure and kind of navigating social media
while being a student athlete.
Speaker 3: It's tough enough, I think.
Speaker 1: For sure in the world was still with all that.
So we will get to that right after this Leo's Nose.

Speaker 3: That sh bum hit a button house.
Speaker 2: She woke up.
Speaker 3: You know the consist heaven out.
Speaker 1: Right now? So all right to me? It sounds like
Daryl Hall's voice.
Speaker 3: This is from Darrel's house. Is got auto tune on it.
Speaker 4: It just sounds like he's trying to make this make
this song to the eighties, but he's trying to eighties
it up, and it's it's, you know, nineties.
Speaker 1: But I got the one. The thing that I had is.
Speaker 4: I just enjoyed because I love this song and it
was just a cool version of it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a great version of it. But I
swear to God, if you listen, it sounds like there's
auto tune on his mic, not Johnny Resli's.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why Oates left.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, never know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I was listening to some uh station
on serious satellite, Oh the Bridge, and they were doing
uh Black History Months, but it's all white, white artists
talking about all these careerat influence of black guys, and
I go, yeah, I love Stevie Well they did all
that stuff, and I go that That's the part that
was kind of funny to me, is I like, you know, uh,
what about having the black or the black artists family
talk about what an impact they had on music because
a lot of these white artists then went and adapted, copied, stole,
I don't know, ripped. I don't want to put words
in anybody's mouth, but that's the Uh, that would be
what it sort of feels like at times. And that
was blue eyed soul, right was it was uh what
they called or referred to as hall notes, blue eyed soul.
That was that?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: So we're talking to Tyler and Aris who are of
the Aquinas hockey team, but take it away from just
being Aquinas and don't tune out because they're part of
a school that maybe is a rival of yours or
someone you know and love, but just in terms of
what it takes to play consistently at that level, because
I'm always amazed when with kids trying to balance it all,
it's all a tremendous amount of It's a lot. It's
a lot with school, it's a lot with the parents stuff.
It's a lot with trying to get other you know,
especially if you've got siblings and you're running around with
them and that kind of stuff. And then on top
of that, I'd have to say, I think that social
media is really tough for anybody. And I remember going
to Buffalo Bill's training camp and I would always say,
they can get right to you. Now, they get right
to your pocket. You know what I'm saying, Like I
can tell I can tell Josh Allen that, you know,
I don't.
Speaker 3: Think he should be MVP because you fuck it sucks.
Speaker 1: It could go yeah, but you know what I'm saying,
like I could get right to him more than it
used to be. What just somebody screaming, screaming into the
into the abyss right so now. And that makes it
tough because a lot of times, depending on where you
are mentally at the moment, and you.
Speaker 3: Could take that as something he could just brush it off.
Speaker 1: And that's why I always thought one of the most
important things that any professional athlete could do is hire
someone to handle their online social media stuff. Don't do
it yourself. Because we've saw Sammy uh, what's his name,
who is a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, call
them like rock crushers, the fans. Oh, Sammy Watkins, he
did it.
Speaker 3: He called him like I was.
Speaker 4: Sticking the other guy with the shirt the why God
why when he dropped the bald the end zone.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Steve Johnson, Yeah I did that, but the
other was Sammy Watkins. But do you guys feel pressure
to present a certain image of yourself online as a
student athlete and you do for sure? What what when
you say, for sure, what does that explain a little bit? What?
Speaker 6: What can we do the same stuff that you guys
did when you guys were growing up, super stuff, but
you guys.
Speaker 3: Didn't have the phone.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, you guys didn't have the phones to record it. Right,
that's the only difference. The old kids. Kids post stupid
stuff all the time. And I mean our schools, coaches
scouts emphasize that stuff like, don't post.
Speaker 1: Stupid is it?
Speaker 3: Are you better off just not being on?
Speaker 6: That's what That's what worst coaches say.
Speaker 1: Just better off not even being on? Why eliminate the temptation?
But can you do that? Because so much communication happens
among your peers. I mean, what, what's the most popular
social media platform for you?
Speaker 3: Snapchat?
Speaker 1: Yeah and that or Instagram? Okay, but for messaging, I
would think it's almost snaps Yeah, yeah, for sure, snabshat.
I mean I I I've seen kids phones where it's
not stop like it's just being being made.
Speaker 4: You know, Well they do every year before the season starts,
they come out and there's a meeting for all the
all the winter sports or all the fall sports, and
they tell you we are going to be looking we
do look and I know mcquaides also the schools are
starting to pick up on that and trying to make
sure that these kids aren't doing stupid things or making
mistakes that could haunt them down the lotch sure, yeah,
I mean I kind of looking out for them.
Speaker 1: Well, I absolutely, Because the other thing was like McQuaid
was looking at your social media even off school time,
like they could see everything that you were doing while
I'm their internet. I guess, right, while I'm their Internet,
they could see the stuff. And then I know, like
certain emails would get flagged with certain language in it
if it's coming from a school email address. But then
even off school time like a weekend or a Friday night,
and you're not there.
Speaker 3: I mean, if there was.
Speaker 1: A picture of a party or somebody from McQuaid that
got back to them, you were in trouble exactly. Yeah,
which I go, okay, it seems like a lot. But
the thing is, like you want to I guess, as
my father used to always say, I don't want to
ruin your good time. I just want to keep you alive.
And I think that's the bigger thing. But on top
of that, it's almost like the internet stuff doesn't go away. No,
it doesn't.
Speaker 6: It doesn't go away emphasis for a future employers or
in laws, you know.
Speaker 3: In laws.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I never thought of that. Oh, so you're
the one back in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 4: I mean, how many how many you know pro sports
players have gotten drafted within the last ten or fifteen
years since social media has been big and all of
a sudden, I'm just saying Josh. You know, I'm not
saying it was Josh, but oh he had this really
racist treatment or he had this really dirty tweet and
the seven Yeah, I mean he was, you know, for
fourteen years old. He's much different person now. But and
that that kind of sucks, that that can come back
and haunt you for being you know, these kids agent
making something's doing something stupid, and it's going to ruin
the rest of your life. How do you deal with
the pressure. Let's say this though, of seeing other players highlights.
Speaker 1: And achievements on social media. Does that motivate you or
does that seem overwhelming at times, like God, we got
to play this guy? Or is it more like that's fine?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I tend to congratulate them. I mean, most of
the guys that are doing big er, like either my
teammates or I've played with them before. So okay, all love, Yeah,
it's all love, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think going back to what you said
earlier comparison is the joy is the what thief of joy?
Speaker 3: Thief of joy?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: How do you how do you guys deal with playing
like as an aquinance team and you guys are playing
a rondequurt where you've got three kids you play travel
with and two kids you play travel with. How do
you take that game on? And you know you want
to go out there and win, You want to go
out there and make every play, But all of a sudden,
coming down the boards is a little Timmy, your buddy,
and you got to put him into the wall.
Speaker 1: I'm killing You're killing them.
Speaker 6: We're friends actually the game, but it's almost it's all love.
Speaker 1: Though at the end of the day, it's all love. Yeah,
but you want to in that moment, Oh yeah, yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 5: It's like during the game, you know you hate that
guy that it could be your best friend in your team,
and you know mid game he's coming down, You're gonna
kill him whatever it takes. Pretty much.
Speaker 1: And also it comes down to respect. I want to
want I want to want.
Speaker 6: My friend to take it easy on me just because
they're my friend, right, I feel like that'd be disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was the first first game of our season this year,
was his first shift of the year, and one of
his best friends from Greece just ran him over. And
then Tyler got up and about thirty seconds later found
the kid with the pucket. He Tyler just ran him
back over. The four kids four foot two and Tyler's
you know five seven.
Speaker 1: All right, that's all right, that's right. You're you're on
the other side of that stuff. Uh, if you could
give now you're you're a sophomore, so this may not
apply so much to you, maybe more to areas. But
if you could give your freshman self a piece of advice,
what would it be.
Speaker 3: So somebody who's coming in.
Speaker 1: Maybe to play hockey, you know about balancing hockey, school life,
social life.
Speaker 6: Family assistant, and always stack your days.
Speaker 3: Stack your days. What do you mean by stack your days?
Speaker 6: Try to be better, try to get one person better
every day?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, do.
Speaker 4: You try to do the hardest stuff earlier day? Do
your harder stuff earlier in the day.
Speaker 1: The subject you don't like.
Speaker 5: Joy your time. It got twenty games a year goes
really fast. Yeah, like blank, and you're a senior pretty
much like I don't know, like goes by too fast.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to see hear you say that at fifteen
years old, because mostly it's us all guys.
Speaker 3: They go, God, where did the year ago?
Speaker 4: Well, it's just like Sam started in ninth grade and
I blinked and he was a senior, and I was like,
holy crap. But that's another one thing that this team
does very well is with the older kids, the juniors
and the seniors. They really take care of the ninth
graders and some of the eighth graders and kind of
bring them along and show them the ropes. Like we
went to Lake Placid last year. We had a sophomore
in an eighth grader and he was as big. He
was showing them the ropes of what we do and
how we do it. And yeah, this team really is
a family.
Speaker 5: We're so close, you know, all we do everything together.
Like we just took a trip down to Bessel, New
York for a weekend and we were on the farm rink.
But you know, you get so close to these guys,
you don't want them to leave, Like, yeah, twenty games
gone so quick. We just had Senior Night last night,
and you know, this group was really special this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so you're, yeah, it's gotta be tough. Do
you worry about stepping in and filling the shoes of
the seniors who are leaving? Is there is there anybody
that you go I'm not sure if we could do
it without that guy.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you know, they're all the seniors are
all a big part of our team. You know, whether
you know they don't play or not. We get a
lot of guys in our team are big like locker
room guys. You know, they're always they're always there pushing
us to be better and they're always cheering us on
making us a lot better every year.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean you learned from that, right then
it's your turn to be that that guy and do
that sort of thing. I know that we we've played
Tyler miked up? Was that with the Aces or with Aquinas?
Speaker 3: That with the Aces?
Speaker 1: If someone miked you up during a game, what's the
one thing you've said on the ice that would make
the internet explode? Areas? If they did that with the Aquinas.
Speaker 4: One goal number seven, bitch, is there anything?
Speaker 6: So last week, maybe maybe a couple of weeks ago
against B and D, there was a kid ninety one.
He's gotten kicked out of both of our games this season. Yeah,
and he's just a complete asshole. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's junior in high school and he's got full beer.
He looks like a grown man in junior.
Speaker 1: High school, the grown big exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So we were both I think we were both in
pellty boxer, Like maybe I was came by and I
was just like I was I just kept calling him.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, well that question.
Speaker 1: A little bit. You have pump up rituals? You guys
do any kind of pump on Like what's your go
to song or program ritual for your team? Do you
have anything clapping up? Clapping up for warm ups?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so at the end of like we do our
uh stretch line drills, and then like I worked in
strutch on their own and then after we all started
just started clapping clapping it up and then we form
a circle. And that circle I'm just talking to like
stuff we need to do for the game, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Like or one of the responsibilities of the captain.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just like there's a lot of little
things I feel like that nobody really like knows, like before,
like like that stuff for warm up some like when
we're all crowded around the net, I'm always talking. When
we're all crowded around the bench, I'm always talking, like
inting the coach obviously, but like right before, like in
the intermissions, like right before we go back out, I'm
always talking.
Speaker 3: What are you saying in these times?
Speaker 6: I mean it's really just situational, you know, like depending
on what exactly exactly, Yeah, prayer, like prayer, prayer, coach,
coach will say our prayer, and then at the end,
I'll say Saint Basil, they'll say pray for us, Saint Joseph,
same thing. St Thomas Quintas. We'll say our leading victory.
We will say pray for us, and then and then
our coach will start talking about like the game plan.
Speaker 1: But you, as the captain, is that voted on by
who players or the coach?
Speaker 6: I would say the coach mostly. I mean I've been
here since eighth grade. Yeah, and like i feel like
I've earned my stripes, so okay, I'm sure, so kind
of like coach, but like, I feel like there's probably
been player like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially like this past this next year.
Speaker 3: Did you feel more pressure being captain?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, Tyler, would you like that role at some point?
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I like to, you know, lead the team.
Speaker 4: He's the captain on his travel team, so yeah, he's got.
Speaker 1: What's the uh the chirps? Hockey players are known for
their chirps, are they not?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I would say that, especially skating past the.
Speaker 1: Who who gets the best ones on your team? And
we get the best chirps? Is there a good chirper? Probably? Yeah?
Probably would he? All right?
Speaker 6: And he's just very aggressive and he just doesn't know
when to stop. There's no line for.
Speaker 5: What I don't want to mess with?
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: What's the Who's got the best nickname?
Speaker 5: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Best nickname in the locker room? Yeah, that is a
good one.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I had to say carm. We call him Chicken Karm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, chicken Chicken? All right, okay, all right? Any uh
any bus ride chaos that happens all the time. Yeah,
what's the most ridiculous thing on the team bus that's happened?
Speaker 5: I'd say our laatest ship up to the farm rink.
We kept throwing gatorad bottles other stuff at one of
our teammates.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that he came back started fighting us.
Speaker 5: It all happened. It all happened because we were messing
with him on the way up, and then we all
the next morning he came down waking us up at
like seven in the morning times it was time for breakfast.
Speaker 6: When it was not time for breakfast, time for breakfast.
Speaker 5: We were like, all right, you better be ready for
the bus right now.
Speaker 6: And then he comes back an hour later and does
it again when we're all sleeping, and so let me
just tormented him on the bus.
Speaker 4: That does almost forgetting Joey and the bus come back.
Speaker 1: You know, mental toughness is a big part of sports
and it's a great thing for life too. Write to
kind of put something and see it in the perspective
of what it is. So how do you handle a
bad game or a tough loss? What do you guys,
is there is there a team thing? Individually? Does it
hurt more than others? You know, I have my son
plays basketball. He didn't have a great game on Friday night,
so he we were at the y so he could
do you know, one hundred shots on each side of
the basket, and then wanted me to shoot more towards
the rim so he could box me out. So now
I have bruised as he kept twisting around real fast
and hold me back, and I just but like, what
is it? What what happens with you guys? What's the
mental toughness aspect?
Speaker 5: We actually have the we're actually we have the rights to,
like say we'll have a three thirty practice, We'll actually
be able to get to the rink at like three
o'clock and we can get on whenever we want to.
If we have like a three thirty till five o'clock practice,
all the all the kids will be on the ice
at like three fifteen. We'll start early, and then we
have morning practice every weekend and we can get on
at like our coach is the key to the rink,
so we can get on at five o'clock and be
until whenever someone else has to be on. So we
have the you know, it's just every and everyone buys
into that. Everyone is always there. Like the other day,
we had all of our teammates waiting at the door
for a coach to be there, just because we want to.
Speaker 3: Get all all there early.
Speaker 1: I want to, I want to do it, but with
bad games, you just let it go and move on.
Speaker 6: Coach coach holds us, holds us pretty accountable. I feel
like like he really he makes us all look in
the mirror. I feel like after a bad game and
I mean just flushing it out during the new page,
we're all about next shift mentality, our coach says. So
it's all about you know, bad game, bed shift. Sun's
still gonna rise tomorrow. You know, worry about tomorrow and
like I said, like stacking your days getting better every day.
Speaker 4: So are the coach will breakdown film all night though.
He'll get he'll get he'll get the he'll get the
memory card from my buddy Keith, who records the games
for us, and he doesn't he'll be in there. He'll
be in there sunt sleep.
Speaker 1: Do you guys watch a lot of film? Yeah? Yeah,
Because I saw a thing today with you know, we're
recording this on the day that the Super Bowl is
gonna happen between the Chiefs and the Eagles, and I
saw something with Tom Brady and Tom Brady was talking
about the year he beat the Chiefs. That was when
he was with Tampa Bay and how he said, even
Friday night, he was just watching film, watching film, watching film,
And he said it was really his superpower because he
could recognize all they're gonna play. Oh, they're gonna do this,
just by their subtle movements. He knew exactly what the
defense was going to do because he had watched so
much film. I don't know the sport of hockey very well.
Uh so I don't know how you can tell or
not tell. But does that help watching that much film?
For sure it does.
Speaker 5: We got a couple of guys that will have a game.
We had a game yesterday. We have a couple of
guys soon a couple of hours after the game, a
couple of guys we texted Kota, when's a game coming out?
Because you know, film is a big part of part
of us. Our coach will always send us links to
the team. Will we play in next their games to
make sure that we know what is coming up for us?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What about? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think that that that's pretty good. Is there anybody
that you model your game after? Any any NHL player
that you model your game? I would say a mixture between.
Speaker 3: Or do you have a different kind of inspiration.
Speaker 6: Surele and Matthew Chuck.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry. The correct dancer was Dozer and Shannon.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody for you, Tyler? Or is it just
kind of this other.
Speaker 5: I'd probably say, like Dad McDavid and like, uh, you
go ranting in?
Speaker 1: Okay? Really ta Look, I do know this. Hockey players
are notoriously superstitious. Yeah. Uh, what's one weird superstition that
you may have or maybe some of your teammates have.
Speaker 6: So the way I get my gear on, I always
have to put everything on my left on first, sike
skates on left, I will pad left. Uh, shindn't pad
on left, like putting my leg through my jock shop left,
like putting my shoes on left, like coming out, like
coming out the door for like with my suit on,
like everything I do, I have my left going.
Speaker 3: Is left your dominant?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, so you're left, you're lefty? Okay?
Speaker 3: South Paul and what anything?
Speaker 1: Tyler?
Speaker 3: Is there any super.
Speaker 5: Sious she put all my right stuff on first?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And I always had to take my stick same way
every game before. Uh if I want, if I use
white tape and I have a bad game, I will
switch over to black tape for the next game. And
if I keep doing good black tape, I'll stick with that, okay.
Speaker 4: So it's funny because even at even at like eight
years old or ten years old now, Brady he's playing
this year. He scored a goal a couple weeks ago,
and he had two different socks on. He had a
Doriedo's sock and a and a Ramin sock on, okay,
and he scored. It was his first time he's ever scored.
He's like, I got wear this tomorrow. I'll got to
wear the socks, try him off. He was wearing him
again today and he scored again today. So he's in
his own head of ten.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 5: I think superstitious is probably the biggest in hockey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too. I do.
Speaker 6: Maybe he's a part with the mental game, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure it does. Right.
Speaker 1: It gives you a routine and it relaxes your brain
to let good stuff happen. When you start sweating I
don't have, I don't have, I don't have, and you're
gripping tight. Here's the thing that I'm realizing in life.
It's not the superstition that's bringing you anything. It's your
attitude towards the superstition. So if the superstition helps you relax,
you will play better, right, you will be more focused.
It's like people who believe that to get spirits out
of their house or there has to be saves burned.
There doesn't. But if it makes them believe it and
feel better, who gives a shit?
Speaker 3: Just burn this age and go on.
Speaker 1: And I think the same thing with that, because how
many times have you thought, oh, man, I didn't bring
my whatever or I forgot something.
Speaker 6: And you're just like, it makes me feel anxious, yes, yes,
and then.
Speaker 1: You don't play as well, and then you attribute that
because we need to blame something because we're human. It
can't be us. It's got to be something outside of
us that's fucking this up, not me. So it's got
to be you know, I didn't eat my carrots before
the game, or whatever it is, whatever weird thing the
chocolate chip cookies or don't uh, why don't we take
a moment.
Speaker 3: Kevin's got your dad, excuse me? Has a game?
Speaker 1: And uh. I also want to ask you think about
this the ultimate three verse three lineup for you guys,
if you could pick two teammates to play against any
three NHL players. Who would you choose and why? Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes against.
Speaker 1: No you guys first NHL players three verse three.
Speaker 5: I mean I'd have to.
Speaker 1: Know it's all right, it's right. You can think, they
can think about it.
Speaker 3: It's just brainstorm, that's all right.
Speaker 4: He doesn't follow directions.
Speaker 1: We get to all that right after this. Life throws challenges.

Speaker 9: Debates, make the speakers go to ball breaks that freaks
debase and make the speakers go to ball.
Speaker 6: Food.
Speaker 8: Say tell me where the freaks at.
Speaker 3: I'm not hearing any trumpet from Timmy Trumpet.
Speaker 4: Because you're not playing the right song, Timmy trump you're
looking savage.
Speaker 3: That's all right.
Speaker 1: Uh, Kevin has a game. But before we get into that,
I I did ask the guys the ultimate three on
three lineup, three v three, if you get two of
your teammates against what NHL players.
Speaker 4: Play three of the Sabers, because I mean you have
a chance.
Speaker 6: Like Mews he said, I would say him, me and
our teammate Mikey against what you said, Sabers players.
Speaker 4: You want like you want to play like Tyler play
Tyler Renis.
Speaker 1: It can be against anyone.
Speaker 4: But who's all the short players? You get Tyler Ennis?
Speaker 6: Now it's Nathan Gerby. I would say, Evan Bouchard the pylon.
Speaker 1: He's terrible, He's a who's he played for Edmond Edton. Okay,
all right, I would.
Speaker 4: Say again the correct answer was you Mikey and Aries
versus Tanappi, Dozer and Shannon. Come on, boys, get it right.
Speaker 6: They're they're not an HL team. Don't kill you.
Speaker 4: We'll smoke you boys.
Speaker 3: Do you either think so? Wait?
Speaker 1: NHL? Right?
Speaker 4: Good coach played in Europe the goalie for the goalie
coach has two time state champion. And I don't know,
I don't coach Shanny's background, but I know Shanny plays
in college.
Speaker 6: They're also thirty years older than us.
Speaker 1: They know they know a thing or two wisdom, all
about wisdom at that age.
Speaker 5: Six threes.
Speaker 4: Like the other day, Kevin, that's on NHL twenty five
on PlayStation.
Speaker 6: That doesn't count with NHL players. Yeah, even even playing
the worst NHL players, there's no chance, even the worst
junior juniors players.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's your famous statement, how bad you have sued
to play at that level?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the NHL, Major League Baseball, all that. I mean,
I say it about the NFL a lot, but I
always go, you gotta. I mean, you are talking the
one percent, right, It's it's amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's guys that I know who got picked
up by a team, had great preseason games, and all
of a sudden, the cornerback became available and that guy
was out because they needed to make room, and not
even on the practice squad. And that it's tough. It's
such a tough thing, and you put so much of
your life into that, right that your diet, your exercise,
your whole routine, everything kind of becomes about that that
when it goes away, it's got to be pretty tough.
Speaker 3: I mean, even at the high.
Speaker 1: School level, it's got to be tough because it's you know,
become it was such so entrenched in your life, and.
Speaker 4: It's tough to be consistent year after year two. I
mean that sure is. The average tenure is probably about
three or four seasons, and you've got guys like John
two played for twenty yeah, Sidney Crosby's got to be
going on close to twenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, these these players, they just keep going and
going and going. I mean Yarri yagers mid fifties and
he's still playing at a semi high level in Europe.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh, Vechkin too, thirty eight forty sixteen goals away from
breaking Wayne Gretzky's cool record, and he's still gonna play
next year even if he breaks. And I guarantee you that, well,
that's that's.
Speaker 1: A little crazy, only because hockey, to me, is such
a long season.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: We talked about athletes being older. Tom Brady certainly raised
a lot, but there's an offseason that's longer in the
NFL than there is in the NA.
Speaker 6: They also play once a week, right, hockey plays back.
Speaker 1: To back, and it's just like in the brutality of
the sport, it's like.
Speaker 4: It's just it goes, and it goes and it goes.
The season goes. But at the end of the day,
it's it's probably the best playoffs of all the major
sports because any team that makes the playoffs has a chance.
We go hot for two months. You can, you can go.
Speaker 3: It starts over.
Speaker 4: The bottom seat in the conference to win in the cup.
Any team can do it.
Speaker 3: Give me.
Speaker 1: Uh So this game is hockey terms. Hockey terms, all right,
So it's hockey terms. And to see if to see
if I.
Speaker 4: Know, see if you know them if if you don't know,
we'll have the boys. All right, tell you what it means, okay,
Sauce me the three in one.
Speaker 1: Sauce me.
Speaker 3: The three and one.
Speaker 1: Um, I would say, that's when you're on the bench
and you're looking for you get a plate. Yeah, I
don't know what the hell it is.
Speaker 5: Kevin was saw the shampoo when you're in the shower.
Speaker 4: Sauce pass three shampoo conditioning, body washing the shower.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, No I would I would
never have come up with that.
Speaker 4: Now the boys might not know. This is an old
school and the boys might not You might get this one, okay.
What are blue blades?
Speaker 3: Blue blades? Blue blades?
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they got to be older players.
Speaker 4: They are the famous skate blades worn by Wayne Gretzky.
Blue blade.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I did not know.
Speaker 4: Taught the boy something like that. All right. What's an apple?
Speaker 3: What is an apple? Huh?
Speaker 1: In a hockey term? What is an apple? One is
like right in the basket. I don't know what assists assist?
Speaker 4: What's a bucket?
Speaker 1: A bucket?
Speaker 4: A bucket?
Speaker 1: Okay, well that I would know. I'm assuming that's a
when you score. I have no idea what this game?

Aquinas if you wanted to.

Speaker 1: Mikey, Mikey has the best.
Speaker 5: Nike doesn't tell us what he puts in his hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the gatekeeper.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, Rondic quit all those boys. I've already
gone died blonde for for sexuals early and he went
blond too.
Speaker 5: It's a little we're not allowed to do that.
Speaker 4: They did it one year, your eighth grade year.
Speaker 3: They did it.
Speaker 4: They got in trouble for it.
Speaker 3: They did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you captain can always say, let's save our heads. Boys.
Speaker 3: What is the uh? What is the punishment?
Speaker 6: It wasn't even a punishment there. They were just like
mad about it. But I mean, there's no like you
can change it, force us to change.
Speaker 5: They go by, they say, like bleach is not a
natural hair color. That's what they said. Like the lacrosse
team did last year and they all got like screamed
at you played lacrosse you.
Speaker 6: Can tell, yeah, I mean it was like that. It
wasn't even bleachers like frosted tips like you can kind
of and they were not happy with that happy.
Speaker 3: God's hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 6: Okay, and we won last year, so uh yeah, yeah
for lacrosse.
Speaker 4: So what's more violent lacrosse? Rockey?
Speaker 6: Stick wise lacrosse like body checking and stuff like that
like hockey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's more physical.
Speaker 4: There's a lot less patting. And I remember saying coming
home with just Weltz and bruises all over his body.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like stick checking. Stick checking in lacrosse is brutal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, never played, So I don't know. Uh, imagine it's
the Year of Our Lord twenty forty four. What's one
way hockey will be completely different from now? Fox will
bring back to Fox try kind of like how it
is now. Think about that if there were something you
could maybe eliminate either as a rule, even for hockey.
Speaker 6: For your first question, I think what women will be
able to check, like like we'll be able to hit.
Speaker 3: Women will be women can't check and there's no hitting. One.
Speaker 4: It's rough, but there's no hitting. There's no legal hitting.
Speaker 6: It like they like let it go sometimes stuff like that,
but like you can't like blatantly like blow someone up.
Oh yeah, okay yeah, and then.
Speaker 3: So you think that changes.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one I would take out. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think ru I would take out is the shootouts.
I think continuous overtime is a lot better than shootouts
because it's kind of like more fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shootouts certainly seems to come down to almost luck.
Speaker 5: Because the playoffs actually, I think twenty twenty playoffs there
were like they were all in the bubble. There was
a playoff game that went to like the sixth or
seventh overtime. It was like crazy, And I think that's
just a lot better because sure it is, it's more
more fair.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, when it comes down to just
the other it really feels like luck of the draw
in a sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 4: I like the one rule I like that the women's
League started is it's they called the golden goal, where
if you're on a penalty kill and who score a
short handed goal, the penalty's over, so it penalizes that
penalizes team on the power play for giving up the
shorthanded goal. I really liked that rule. And with Tyler's
travel team and Tyler's high school team, our team would
benefit from that a lot because we take some penalties
and we've got Tyler's got two or three shorthanded, like
he's got two or three shortand.
Speaker 1: You've got less guys on the ice for.
Speaker 5: You like mine. Areas is league, like USA Hockey, like
icing on like you can on a penalty kill, and.
Speaker 4: Back to you can off tag up off sides and
icing our back. USA Hockey test things in three year
blocks and they'll test something out for three years and
if it works, they keep it. If it doesn't, then
they change it. The three year block of the ridiculousness
of not being able to on a penalty kill, it's gone.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've actually learned things today. And I
always loved just trying to see what makes people tick, right,
you know? I mean, was there a press sure for
you because your dad played hockey Tyler to play hockey,
or was it just something that you were introduced to
you fell in love with and that's the end of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty much I just got introduced to it, like yeah,
I got introduced to what I knew, like as soon
as I started, like this is what I'm gonna do,
Like yeah, this is pretty much all my life. All
my hours go to hockey.
Speaker 3: All my hours go to hockey. Is there involved? Where
would you like to go?
Speaker 5: I'd like to play juniors after this? I mean, yeah,
juniors probably that, or I'd like to go play maybe
D three at best, because I'm I'm not going to
play D one I tell you that, but yeah three
or maybe juniors, so probably, yeah, I want to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a pretty realistic goal. What about D two?
Speaker 6: No, maybe it's not really D two. It's not really
D two, D one or D three. Yeah, there's four teams,
but they just played D three teams.
Speaker 1: The uh for D two? Yeah, because I think fishers
with hockey.
Speaker 5: Even even club, like there's some club hockey teams that
can compete with like D one teams like club. A
couple of months, like a month or two ago, there
was u n l V College just beat the reigning
Division one national champions And that's insane in like an
exhibition game.
Speaker 3: That's crazy. And they're just a club team.
Speaker 5: So there's there's club teams that can compete, Yeah, that
can play D one teams.
Speaker 6: And like the like the football schools and the Southern States,
like all those club teams, they they're all like D
one caliber.
Speaker 3: They are.
Speaker 5: Tennessee is pretty good.
Speaker 4: Team.
Speaker 1: Why so why don't they have They don't offer it
as a sport at those schools, not for.
Speaker 5: D one level like Ohio Ohio State's D one, Wisconsin's
D one, Penn State's D one.
Speaker 4: Michigan, Michigan's D one, Arizona State stated one Force Army.
I don't think Navy as a team. But that's just
the thing with hockey. You got a club team beating
the reigning national champions. It's hockey is that it's at
any any given night, anybody could beat anybody, right, any anything.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask Kevin that we should kind of explore.
Speaker 4: You did well?
Speaker 1: Did I? Well? I don't know. I love, I'm a
curious person and I and I don't know anything about
the sport as as I proved with the game. But
I I just think like the balance of it all
is a lot, and you guys go to a I
would think it more demanding. Now I don't know that
any school is harder than any other, right, but I do.
I only saw one private school in town, and the
amount of work my son would get there was a lot.
I don't know there was so we could say that's harder.
I don't know that it's you know, calculus is calculus,
right if you're taking that, or algebra is algebra. We
haven't invented new, but the amount of work that's given,
I think it's so that's why I say more demanding.
It's not necessarily harder, for sure. So but to do
that and play at a high level thirteen and five
Section Champs this year hopefully, hopefully, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 4: Do you believe in the respect that we're fourteen and five?
Speaker 3: Oh? Fourteen and five? Might?
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I'm sorry, I apologize that there is some
respect bias out of here. Well, I don't have any
equate bias right now, because now all my allegiances with
more Fairport, I don't even know if they have a
hockey team.
Speaker 3: We smoked them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I only know Fairport basketball. That's all I really know,
and that that's become Our world is just basketball now,
just strake and basketball work well, it's been a pleasure
as nice to meet you. I think the captain and Tyler,
who's got I don't know if I should say this
or not. Maybe future captain of the Quintics team.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: You never know, you never know, you never know.
Speaker 4: That's the way I like he's getting the endorsement down here.
I like it, Yes, of course from the current captain.
Speaker 1: I think that's uh, that's perfect all right, for aries,
for Tyler, for mister Muir as he's known. I don't
know what are the kids called. They all call me.
Speaker 4: Mister Muir, and I'm like, miss Mir's dead. Does this
seem weird? Call me captain? You'll give me the pass.
I know my dad won't let me call it. You're fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll deal with I know, I know I'll do
it right right. I'm Bill Moran. We'll see you Tomorrow's.
Speaker 4: California, baby, Things of god Worth. He's a land up
opportunity for me. Is just a current
