Jacob Stoller and Justin Cohn discuss the Toledo Walleye, morning ECHL games, mailbag questions like the possibility of an ECHL franchise becoming an AHL club and more.
This week on The Hockey News On The 'E' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Justin A. Cohn:
- It's morning game season. Justin explains why ECHL teams play games in the morning and how much harder it is, if at all.
- The Toledo Walleye are the team profile of the week. The Detroit Red Wings' ECHL affiliate is off to a hot start under the tutelage of first-year head coach Pat Mikesch, a coach who Justin says has a connection to Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde.
- Mark Rassell of the Idaho Steelheads is the prospect of the week. The 26-year-old has 10 goals and 15 points in his first 11 games of the year. Idaho acquired his rights in a weird, ECHL-esque way, as Justin explains.
- Mailbag questions! Justin answers your questions on the possibility of an ECHL franchise becoming an AHL club, players not reporting when traded, old barns Justin never got to visit and more.
- Coast to Coast: Justin Cohn's usual news, notes and quotes.
