THE DEBATE - Hockey Podcast
THE DEBATE Hockey Podcast is a no-holds barred one-on-one debate between two hockey fans. Brad Burud from Inside Edge Hockey Media Group is the host and Blake Friars is the co-host of the show. All topics center around the National Hockey League. It can get heated, and it can be comical. Sometimes irrational, hell that’s how fans act. The hosts tell it like it is, plain and simple. Either way it is entertaining and will stir up thoughts (and maybe tempers) amongst all hockey fans. Thanks for tuning into THE DEBATE Hockey Podcast. - INACTIVE PODCAST
