All things Olympic USA hockey game, who wore it better, your beer league team name, you know you're in beer league when..., hot takes, and don't forget to get your heart checked! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

We're baaack againnnnnnn. Nick had to get ice cream last time, so he missed it. We got into a heated debate about which professional sport trophy would be hardest to win, why USA is the GOAT of Olympics, things that we'd ban forever in the beer league, and unveiled jerseys for the upcoming DEX. Happy almost birthday to Nick! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

We're baaaaaack! Nice to meet you again. We got innnnnnit about Japan - turns out there was almost as much drama as there was sake consumed. We solved a few life problems for people not knowing what to do with a broken-leg-on-the-ice situation and having to boot their captain from the team. Plus a few 2026 jersey theme ideas and hot takes. Thanks for being here!! Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Wondering if the chart bottoming goal of best lowest-rated podcast is going to come back to bite us. But we're going for it. And so was the chat today. We swear we had important things to say today but everyone else was funnier than we were. We talked why New Year's resolutions are dumb, why they're great, a quick game of either-or faceoff, and then had 4 random people join the podcast because they could. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

SeE yOu NeXt YeArRrRr! After some professional yapping, we talked over/underrated hockey trends and events of 2025, a "What would you do?" scenario, and all the resolutions we'll give up in the first 4 days of 2026. You rock the modern world. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

We fiiiiinally narrow down Nick's new NHL team to cheer for, discuss our viral moments, and give a juicy update on the secret admirer. Things got a little craaaazayyy today but the chat was chirpin, the girls were girlin, and Nick was eating meat and cheese. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Alert alert 🚨 Nick has a secret admirer and it's NOT himself (allegedly). We got a mysterious email from a loyal lonely girl and while we're protecting the identity, we must get to the bottom of this. We also dive into Nick's new NHL team, get a guest on who designs hockey jerseys, and have some more guest hot takes. Thanks for being heeeeere! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

On the last week of Nick's mustache chronicles...we got into a beer league hockey scuffle story with a twist you didn't see coming, shared mashed potato take, fixed some NHL logos (shout out Predators), and tell you how you can win free jerseys for your whole teammmmmm! U r the best. Brought to you by TheBrandGamewear.com Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

They thought we were on gummies tonight. We were, but not the weeeeeeeed kind. And not the blue chew kind either (but maybe next week). We did poetry or noetry, discussed a new NHL team for Nick to support (and learned some crazy things about the Wild logo), shared some hockey facts that seem fake annnnnd unveiled some of the sweet DEX jerseys coming up. Good times were had by some. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Professional yappers are back and they're yappin. All things Tahoe—we spilled some of the tournament tea—new guest hot takes, what you wish you knew sooner (it got kinda deep), a BLPA secret santa, and allllll of the upcoming DEX and Bash tournaments YOU should come to. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Makin deals with the devil...aka what would you do to be able to make six figures playing hockey? Turns out Nick would do a lot. We fought jet lag, talked Halloween costumes, and got into sex hotels. Well, not literally into them. But you know. Or maybe you don't. Anyway we love you! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Warning: we got kinda deep today?? Deep in octopussy balls, deep in the feels, deep in Japan talk...Nick gave us a live, real-time fake mukbang review of some of the killer food he's getting in Japan, we crack open "We're Not Really Strangers" and ask some vulnerable questions, and get some beer league frustrations off our chest. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Things got weird. We were all Delilah vibes tonight and got lost in the intimacy of dim lights and close mics. Highs and lows from Lake Placid (including a near on-ice 💩 situation), what's happening in Japan, and a beer league rebus game that had the chat getting into it. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

We got into all things tournament recaps and upcoming DEXes, where Nick is flying with his millions of miles, and lots of chat activity today. We also chatted when it's time to move up (or down) a division and playing with longevity in mind. Find the last part of our BLPA *after dark* chat on Patreon! Thank you for continuing to support us, you're the best! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

This just in: a non hockey player put on hockey skates for the first time...AND GOT ON THE ICE. See the video before it goes viral worldwiiiiiiide (or something). Now Nick has to find something else to be a pest about! We also talked loooooong flight delays, gave some mouth hugs (Irish style), and shared some sweet/funny/drunken pictures and videos of the BLPA members' favorite on-ice flexes. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Nobody panic, it's just Nick's life dream happening in real time...3/5 hockey guy just became 3.5/5 hockey guy. It's almost danglin time! We went deep on some potential beer league mascots for different states, something we got wrong for a long time (or convinced our siblings was true but wasn't) , a historical pic of Nick that ended in 💩 jokes, and broke down highs and lows of THE Columbus BLPA tourney.

An actual heads up on when we're live? Groundbreaking. Speaking of breaking...RIP to Nick's front tooth. But it made for some funny Nictionary games. We chatted all things beer league hockey locker room types, the most work you've done for the least amount of money, and states with the best pizza. The chat was chattin today...love it! Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Jason and Nick's post Nashville wrap-up

Are you a chatter, an audio book-er, or a passenger princess? Because what makes the best (or worst) roadtrip partner? We also chatted a new hot take from a mystery guest, some of the biggest beer league pet peeves, and howo Nick managed to lose his camera (yes, again, but this time not his fault). Get it together, airlines. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

The chat was chatting, the takes were sizzling, the strays were caught...what a week. Nick got in trouble for being too mouth about goalies, so he couldn't say much about the on-ice proposal video OR the hot takes (sent in by a mystery guest). We also got into "you don't know how lucky you are if..." to bring us back to Earth a little bit. Got a hot take? Finally, someone gets it. Send it to [email protected] Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

We're baaaaack! Remember us? We were live and so were the people—that chat was poppin off today. $100 for sweaty socks, top worst foods to eat before a game, does length matter, could goalie Sue block any shots from McDavid, and a direct attack at Jenny Fajitas. Turns out we had a lot to say this week. Thanks for being here :) Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

If ever there was a time we needed HR on the show...today would be it. We had on the legendary Tom Hutchison, stand-out star of our BLPA drip segment and the stories he told were...A LOT. We don't even know what to rate this episode honestly. In case you were looking for more stories about a Borat-vibed thong in a fancy shmancy hotel, look no further. In his own words, his mom is already disappointed enough. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

As if we needed more proof that the BLPA community really is the 🐐...you guys SHOWED OUT this week. We wanted to see some pictures of your favorite beer league drip (on or off ice) and boy were we not disappointed. Above and beyond in ways only a lime green Borat-style thong can demonstrate. And it did. If you were hoping for a burly man on a treadmill in said thong...your wish is granted. We showed pics of some of our faves, got video explanations from the wearers themselves, and cracked up multiple times. We even had guest host Sue the goalie join for some things that would put you on the DND (do not draft) list. Finally an episode you don't wanna miss ;) Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

NICK. IS. ALIVE!!! We hear the harrowing tale of his nearish-death experience in Iceland. Was it a mirage or were there really attractive Icelandic nurses pumping his IVs and leaving him in the hallway for hours on end? Was it a hallucination or did he in fact rip out his own tubes and walk out of the hospital unsupervised? Plus, a new take on whether ring/cup culture is ruinning how we talk about athletes, testing Nick's hockey vocab knowledge, and why you need to show up to a tournament (becuase it's not every day that Nick gets a second chance at life) Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

Holy hot hits...Mike is back with another absolute banger and it almost brought a tear to our eye. In other hot hits, we answered some hard-hitting questions including the dumbest thing to happen on ice, worst parts about the BLPA, and building our dream team. We talk all things Salt Lake, upcoming France & Italy DEX, and watched a video of a squirrel falling onto the ice during a game (it's ok!). Thanks for being here!!! Especially you, Mike!

HR shows up again...and it has to do with something a fan sent in about a suspiscious church in Minnesota. We may have been slightly off our rockers today, but that just means we got weird with would you rather, discussed a hot take, and vibed out on a fellow beer leaguer's absolute banger of a country song. Thanks for being live! Send Tony the HR guy a cannoli. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

It's about time we got an HR department...and we had to make a few calls during the show. We also tested our police sketch artist skills again. It went. Plus a massive beer league hockey brawl that started with one guy drinking another guy's water bottle 😬 we talked hot takes that included being able to cut players from your team for any reason with no reprecussions. Valid or nahhh?? Annyyyyyway! Thanks for being here.

Columbus was legendary. The beers were flowin, the food was...foodin. Nick followed through on his beer cooler live stream and is hungry for 8 more camera angles. This week, we had an ~actual~ hot take that was polarizing, we unearthed some beer league memes Nick made years ago, and tried our hand at being a police sketch artist. And a 💩 situation in the rink... Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

Everybody loves a quickie! Can you believe we didn't get distracted and talk about Nick trying out to become the Pope or something? Oh... BUT! We also had a new hot take (confirmed by a goalie), heard about Nicke's run in with the police in Columbus, and discussed every NHL mascot ranked by how likely they'd be to win a bar fight (very controversial, possible rage bait). Thanks for being live with us we live for it (isn't english a weird language?)

Inquiring minds want to know...why did these things come up? Balls out for Mickey. The potential salary of a happy ending masseuse. Swedish candy mukbang. Who knows... but we were LIIIIIVE baby. And that's the biz. We also chatted females in the lockerroom at tournaments (and avoiding the "Captain Morgan" of the crew if ya know what we mean), a live feed of the beer cooler at the biggest DEX of the year, and a potential hot take about goalies.

Here is it - Boston Recap Lets Talk about Norway and Nick's Twin Bed. BLPA.com

Listen. Things don't always go as planned and this week's episode is one of those things. But that's why you're here right?! Cause ya never know what ya gonna get. Like in a BLPA VIP box, the best part is the mystery. We digress...we got into some BLPA after dark content that got a lil raunchy and overused the word "panties", Jillian brought 2 more NHL logos/mascots that should be renamed (with pictures), and Nick chatted with Chris Ludgate, who's currently playing hockey in Japan. Hear why Japan is living in the year 3000, his biggest "don't do this" advice to North American beer leaguers playing in Japan, and the best/worst parts about playing hockey there. If you're here, we love you. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

We kinda popped off this epiosode...talk about production value. We had some Jilly-fied NHL teams aka Jillian's opinions on 3 teams' logos and what they SHOULD be instead (with pictures!), a preview of the ultimate curated-by-BLPAers pregame hype music playlist, some C-level beer league drama video (who do you think is at fault??), and another one of Jillian's tepid takes which are essentially just sentences at this point apparently. Nick sent out the hot hot poll of the week: what everyone is wearing for face protection these days on the ice (reflective visor wasn't an option) Thanks for listening liiiiiive! We (mostly) love your commentary ;) Here are the links you seek: Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Moolah: https://www.patreon.com/theblpa Send us your beer league drama: [email protected] or [email protected]

We give our sports analysis on what the frigggg happened with the 4 Nations game, discuss beer leaguers and their tendency to over protect the goalie, and debate if guys jump to the defense of girl players too often. Plus a few lukewarm takes about babies in first class, guys who "are happily married for 36 years and love their 3 grandchildren" commenting weird things on girls' instagrams, and when (if ever) it's time to hang up your hockey skates.

Not to get political but...how bout that USA vs Canada game?! Booing the anthem is one thing but we also dive into fighting in sports, yah or nah? We also had double the beer league drama this week, with a question about dating someone on your team and a face-to-face run-in with a Karen at a tournament. And Nick has updates about Beer League Worldwiiiiiide! Guess where we're going? You should come! Thank you to our sponsor, Tucker Hockey!

Where complaining about the halftime show, streaking, and 💩 stories come together...AND it was all live! We love talking with you guys while recording. Speking of love, we talk about Valentine's day plans (which happen to include a gently used erotic massage book), and why you should gift your lover a DEX. Our beer league drama story took a crappy turn and we ended up learning too much about a story involving Nick, the blame he threw on his wife, and hotel sheets in a garbage bag. We also asked you guys for some of the best/worst chirps you've said or received and you didn't disappoint. And we're still waiting for Pit Viper to respond back to our NSFW dm.

The only podcast where beer league hockey, bad driving, and financial scandals collide in the most entertaining way possible. Buckle up—especially if you're Nick in a Tim Hortons parking lot. We kick things off with the latest on upcoming DEX / BLPA Bash Tournaments, including how many spots are left, new announcements, and whether Jason has found a new way to profit off the chaos. Because he's also out here stacking BLPA coins like a beer league version of Scrooge McDuck. Will someone finally put a stop to his virtual empire, or will he continue his reign of financial terror? Nick vs. a Canadian driver—a battle for the ages. Nick was minding his business, soaking in the post-Tim Hortons bliss, when BAM! A driver absolutely smoked him head-on. Was it an accident? A hit job? A rival beer league commissioner making power moves? Will Utah's new team name be legendary or a crime against graphic design? We give our incredibly valuable opinions. We're also diving into the hottest, coldest, and just plain weirdest takes from the beer league world and giving you alllll the beer league drama. And we gotta know, do $300 NHL tickets mean an automatic "de-briefing"? Thank you to our sponsor, Tucker Hockey.

What's in and out for 2025? And what does that have to do with you coming to a DEX? Hint: do it scared! This week, we also debated the Connor McDavid hit and suspension and an AITA story about putting too-big-for-their-britches teens in their place on the ice.

We're back and we're...not live. And this episode you'll see why 🥲 we hit up one of our past beer leaguer drama guys for a little update and heard a new story that involved pee-filled jeans in a beer cooler. We also looked back on the results of our BLPA Fantasy Football results to share what the ultimate loser has to do...and it's not spend 24 hours in a Wafflehouse, because Nick is totally into that. Which, by the way, we might have to coordinate a trip to do. Wait and see how we might make it happen... We also give details on a couple upcoming tournaments and the ONE spot left for Japan (and how you can get the deposit for freeeeeee). And bush stencils came up. No more info needed on that.
