137: NHL Alumni Series - We taste all NINE whiskies!

NHL Alumni Associate dedicates itself to the less-fortunate former NHL players, and together with Pernot Ricard, they’ve released nine NHL Alumni Series whiskies with proceeds going to the NHLAA. We drink through all of them (so far)! Plus, we talk about the status of the whisky community, and we launch our Patreon website so you can get more involved in the podcast (and website) and help the podcast grow!

Bryan Goman is our guest and podcast producer!

Post-production NHL fact checking:

It was said the Oilers scored 500+ goals as a team and had top 5 team goal scoring records. They do have the top 5 but the highest number is 446. They are the only team to score 400+ goals in a season, which they did 5 times. 

It was said thatLanny MacDonald scored the cup-winning goal in 1989 but it was actually Doug Gilmour who scored the winner. MacDonald scored the go-ahead goal to make it 2-1 Flames en route to a 4-2 Flames victory. 

We mention Don Cherry, who (after this recording) said racist comments and was fired from SportsNet as an NHL Commentator.
