The Nest is buzzing with the SAHOF States results and some great stories coming out of multiple divisions. But first the boys buzz around some NHL playoff talk and what to watch for as the regular season comes to an end. Give this one a listen--it's a good one.

We kick things off by breaking down USA Hockey’s Olympic gold history and what championship DNA really looks like. Then we preview States Weekend with Coach Joe Namey (Clearwater Ice Storm), Coach Kenny Koehler (Florida Warriors), and Coach PJ Sullivan (Tampa Bay Crunch) as they talk preparation, mindset, and what it will take to win when it matters most.

The boys light up the nest talking the start of the Olympic Men's and Woman's Hockey schedule as well as some curling talk.

More SAHOF States previews coming before the weekends start!
