As promised from Episode 24, in this special edition of the podcast I chatted with fellow podcaster Anthony Russell from Banners on the Wall to chat with him about his recent interview with Nicky Watt, how it came about, the sort of work Anthony had to do, and get some other specifics on the topic.
For those that have not listened to Anthony’s interview, you’ll want to listen to that first before listening to this to get a full grasp on what it is we’re talking about. You can catch that explosive interview that is very well worth your time at: http://bannersonthewall.wordpress.com/2015/03/19/the-botw-podcast-episode-14/
For those wanting to learn more about the Nicky Watt case, there is documentation publically available that do go into some detail. You can view & download these from the UK Anti-Doping website on this page: http://www.ukad.org.uk/anti-doping-rule-violations/current-violations/
Due to personal time restraints as I’m going down to Nottingham on Friday morning to catch the EIHL Play-Off finals weekend, this will be the final podcast for at least a couple of weeks. I’ll try to get some GB content out for the Championships, after that the long off-season break will commence!

The dust has finally settled on the EIHL regular season, it took right up to the final round of fixtures, but finally we know our winner of the League Title…..congratulations are in order for the Sheffield Steelers who win it with a point to spare, and also double up that success with entry into next season’s Champions Hockey League! Joining them competing with Europe’s elite, will be runners-up Braehead Clan, who cap off their 5th year of existence by booking their first ever European berth.
We look at the Play-Off Quarter-Final line ups, including the controversy at the scheduling of 2 of the ties. We also give a snippet of an explosive interview conducted by Banners on the Wall podcast host Anthony Russell with Nicky Watt, an EPL player who has been banned for 8 years from all activity in the sport by the UK anti-doping agency. It’s not as simple as it sounds, and is fascinating listen that is well worth your time, link to that is at the bottom of this post.
My guest for this week is a fellow podcaster from across the pond, Adam Wylde co-host of the Steve Dangle podcast chats with me about how their podcast got going, then we chat about the Leafs, the advanced NHL stats, and a bit about Adam’s radio career which has landed him interview spots with the likes of Pink, Taylor Swift & Miley Cyrus.

It’s the final weekend of the EIHL regular season, and we’ll finally learn the destination of the EIHL League title, the only question will be is who will finally win it? Will it be the Sheffield Steelers, Cardiff Devils or the Braehead Clan?
We look at the run-in from the Steelers view point, chatting to me is firstly Scott Antcliffe, and then Steelers & Team GB Defenceman Ben O’Connor talks to me firstly about his time abroad in Kazakhstan and then on the title run-in, we then finish up with a few quick fire questions!
We also pass on our thoughts & sympathies to all friends and family of Sheffield Steelers fan Amy Usher, who passed away on Thursday morning after a 2 and a half year battle with cancer. We have lost such a brave person so young, but the impact she has made on the hockey family will last forever. #HockeyFamilySticksTogether

The focus this week is on Challenge Cup Final chat, helping me out with that is my first guest of two; Jon Jones from The Inferno to get a feel from Devils fans on how this season has went, particularly in contract to last season. We of course get his thoughts on the Cup Final, how the Devils may tackle their league match with the Dundee Stars the night before, and we get the latest on the new Cardiff Arena.
Getting some viewpoints from a Steelers angle, we have Scott Antcliffe to first talk about the latest twist in the league title race as Steelers grab a vital 2-0 win against the Clan, then on to the match against the Belfast Giants, and of course some Cup Final chat.

The Centre Ice UK podcast is back after a length and un-desired hiatus, let’s just say me and technology haven’t been the best of friends these past few months!!
I chat firstly with fellow podcaster Anthony Russell, the man behind the excellent Banners on the Wall website and podcast. We learn from Anthony how the website came about, and also get his thoughts & insights on both the EPL and some of the up and coming British talents.
I also get an overdue catch up with Premier Sports EIHL host Aaron Murphy, we get a few of his hockey highlights from 2014, and get some pre-match thoughts on the next big game on Premier Sports which is between the Braehead Clan & Nottingham Panthers at Braehead Arena.
