The BOTW Podcast pops its head out of its summer hideaway! We round up the news from the NIHL and give our thoughts and we chat about the NHL and KHL trying to expand their brands.

Our interview guest is a really fun one. A journeyman as a player (including 3 months in Basingstoke), Brett Larson retired from hockey and headed to coaching. 2 national titles in American college hockey as an assistant coach later, we chat to Brett on the eve of his debut season as head coach of the St Cloud State Huskies about coaching college players, his goals and how he deals with players being drafted.

The BOTW Podcast in association with Victory Hockey UK; the news, action and views from the NIHL and all levels above, below and in between.
