As the clink of glasses echoed through Liam Maguire's on St. Patrick's Day, we found ourselves amidst tales of hockey and heart. Pull up your favourite bar stool and join us, Hawes and McGuire, as we recount the kinship of pub regulars and lace up our skates to discuss the spirited rivalries of our local hockey leagues. What starts as a celebration of community bonds quickly pivots to the Hosie and Brown Hockey Pool drama, where a trip to Ireland is on the line. We share Rory's educational pursuits and muse on the impact of learning on future generations, weaving a narrative that's as rich and complex as a perfectly poured pint of stout.

We don't hold back on the tough discussions, delving into the complexities surrounding transgender athletes and their place in the competitive arena—all while tipping our caps to the local taverns that preserve the stories of hockey's past.

Ever wondered how sports history intertwines with the revelry of St. Paddy's Day? We've got stories that bring together iconic jerseys, the fervour of hockey fans, and technology's hold over young audiences. This episode is a tapestry of moments—like the Kilikov/ Sheary controversial hit and debates on contact in youth hockey—that showcase the evolving landscape of the sport we love.

Join us as we skate a lap around the rink of hockey history, from the O'Brien Cup's legacy to intimate recollections with legends like Bobby Orr and finally Shootin' the Shot with Ken Hodge. These stories are the heartbeats of our beloved game, and they remind us of the joy we find in every slap shot and hat trick. So cozy up and let the nostalgia wash over you like the cheers of a crowd after a game-winning goal; this episode of Offside with Hawes & Maguire is a celebration of the sport, the community, and the legends that have left their mark on the ice and in our hearts.
