The AudPod: Kitchener Rangers Podcast

Sports EN ↓ 92 episodes

The AudPod is the unofficial home of Kitchener Rangers fandom. Hosted by an Oilers fan and a Flames fan who agree on exactly one thing: the Kitchener Rangers are the best team in hockey. We covered every step of the 2025-26 season from puck drop to the 2026 Memorial Cup, interviewed the players who made it happen, and lost our minds in the Aud right alongside you. Every week we break down Rangers games, react to OHL news, debate the CHL landscape, and talk to the players and personalities inside the organization. Whether you're a lifelong Rangers fan, a junior hockey obsessive, or someone who...

17: Over the Hump(hreys) 17.01.2025

Coming off an insane triple-header weekend, the AudFathers have a lot of grievances to air—but plenty of good stuff too. We saw newcomer Christian Humphreys fit right in on the top line, making an instant impact, while old friends like Lam and Reid were their usual, amazing selves. Of course, no episode would be complete without a lively Oilers vs. Flames debate and some new G.R.O.A.T. nominations...

16: (D)AudBalls 10.01.2025

Andrew caught a cold, Justin caught a baby. We are in shambles this week as we are also recording separately. The (D)AudBalls are back from the holiday break to catch up on all things, Rangers, OHL and (unfortunately) the World Juniors!  Next week will be back to more regularly scheduled programming. Hope you enjoy! Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠...

15: Holiday Extravaganza! 20.12.2024

It’s the AudBall's last episode of the year and so in honour of the upcoming holiday break, they look back at the first half of the Kitchener Rangers season. Stories are told, trade deadline is discussed and the 1st Annual AudPodies are awarded.  Bring your eggnog or cocoa and blanket for this cozy episode.

14: Catalina Wine Mixer Strikes Back 13.12.2024

This week, it’s all about winning stacked on top of more winning! The Rangers are a force to be reckoned with, and it’s no surprise they’ve climbed even higher in both the OHL and CHL power rankings. Sure, the usual stars are getting their well-deserved recognition, but what about the newly formed line with the fresh new nickname? Did our team just evolve into having four first lines? Deep insight...

13: Rise of the Parsites! 06.12.2024

The Audballs have rebranded and are now the Parsites—long live Jackson Parsons! The weekend's games did not disappoint, going three for three in delivering excitement. We witnessed the Pass of the Year from Cameron Reid, an incredible Save of the Year from an opposing goaltender, and a surprising flurry of Teddy Bears thrown at Luke “Theodore” Elinas for reasons still unclear but undeniably entert...

12: Carson Campbell: Puck Magnet 29.11.2024

There was a lot of news to cover this week from ANOTHER NCAA commit coming to Kitchener to potential expansion and the CHL Prospects Tournament. Games are recapped and previewed. And we realized that we hadn't explained the G.R.O.A.T. recently so we did that and then nominated our G.R.O.A.T.s for the week including a fan nomination! {00:00}-{Intro} {01:39}-{News - Haeden Ellis, Expansion, CHL Pros...

11: Reaction Jackson Parsons 22.11.2024

The AudBalls had their share of ups and downs this week. Recording in daylight seems to have an interesting effect on their cognition! They recapped some great games, but when the big one of the season rolled around—London—it didn’t go as hoped. On the bright side, Jackson Parsons proves himself an elite goaltender, earning well-deserved praise. And, of course, the G.R.O.A.T.s are nominated! Follo...

Episode 10: From Streaks to Skid Marks 15.11.2024

The AudBalls are back with something they never thought they would ever have to talk about ever again - a loss. It was a good run, the Rangers won 10 in a row and had points in 16 straight games before those streaks came to an end. But it's not all doom and gloom, this Rangers team is a blast and getting better! This week, we’ve got 3 G.R.O.A.T.s to nominate, including one from special guest Babs!...

Episode 9: The Ando-lorian 08.11.2024

Another week, and the win streak continues! There was another Battle of Alberta, and life is good! The Memorial Cup (Paper) Champs came to town and didn’t take too kindly to losing. It was a fun weekend to be a Rangers fan! Many more additions were made to the G.R.O.A.T. nominations, as you, the listeners, helped us out by sharing some of your picks! Please send us your Greatest Ranger of All Time...

Episode 8: Hlacar-izard! We Choose You! 01.11.2024

All this winning really goes straight to your head! Another 3 games and another 3 wins! The AudBalls have not run out of things to say, or nicknames to hand out. Also, Misa is lucky he grew up when he did, he would have struggled as an elder millennial. And of course, two more Rangers were added to the G.R.O.A.T. nomination! Follow us on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcast Em...

Episode 7: We Blessed a Wagon 25.10.2024

The AudBalls could not be happier about the Rangers 9 game point streak and 4 game win streak! It has confirmed that not only did the AudBalls not curse the Rangers but they blessed them. It was a lot of positives after a weekend of wins. Games were recapped, other games were previewed, history was learned and the next G.R.O.A.T.s are nominated. Follow us on ⁠Instagram⁠ , ⁠Twitter⁠ & ⁠TikTok⁠ | @t...

Episode 6: Pug Life 4 Life 18.10.2024

The AudBalls are in mourning over the loss of Antonino Pugliese from the Kitchener Rangers lineup, also Andrew is mourning the start of the Oilers season, but that only fills Justin with glee. Recaps of the last weeks games bring a lot of shame over how poorly they predicted those games, but fun was had. And the second entries to the G.R.O.A.T. are submitted. Follow us on ⁠Instagram⁠ , ⁠Twitter⁠ &...

Episode 5: Schaubel-Daubel-Do! 11.10.2024

Episode 4: A Curséd Affair 04.10.2024

Did Andrew and Justin bring their Alberta curses to Ontario? Or did maybe a curse exist here already? The season opens with a snoozefest and then an all-time worst OHL loss. The boys don’t have much positive to work with, but they try (oh, how they try). Follow us on Instagram, Twitter & TikTok | @theaudpodcast Email | theaudpodcast@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswi...

Episode 3: Pre-season Ponderings & Season Predictions 27.09.2024

In Episode 3 of The AudPod , hosts Andrew and Justin tackle Pre-season Ponderings & Season Predictions . They dissect the final preseason game, which only half of them actually watched, and delve into the team’s line depth—because who really needs all that information anyway? They take playful jabs at the rest of the league, make some internal bets on points, shutouts, Dirracolo's and gear up for...

Episode 2: Trades, Pre-Season & Gretzky’s Surprise 20.09.2024

Justin continues his attempt to prove the Flames are still top-tier, while Andrew patiently rolls his eyes. They break down the Carson Rehkopf and Vermeulen trades, review the Rangers’ five pre-season games (and their own questionable predictions), and reveal a surprising connection between Wayne Gretzky and the cities of Brampton & Brantford (hint: they aren't the same city). Plus, they navigate...

Episode 1: From Rivals to Rangers – The Birth of The AudPod 14.09.2024
