No games last week due to Turkey Day means no rankings but that doesn't stop The WCHL Podcast from ruining your week! The guys talk about the ACHA's stance on the NCAA's new CHL rule and the impact it will have within the ACHA and elsewhere, frustrating gritches about how the rankings are calculated, predictions for old-school WCHL Rivalry Week and other games involving WCHL teams, eligibility slackers, Birthday cellys, and favorite Christmas tunes! This episode might be a bit shorter than normal but it's guaranteed to be as suboptimal as ever! Have a listen!

It's Thanksgiving so the guys are thankful for the most recent ACHA M1 ranking as it allows them to vent about the new #1 team that hasn't played a game in a few weeks! And boy do they discuss rankings! They are also thankful for the heavy non-conference slate of games last week involving some WCHL teams while others were battling head-to-head in conference matchups! Andrew promotes his non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner while Chris is all in on tradition, tryptophan, and dessert! What else do you have to listen to while you're in between holiday meals? Happy Thanksgiving to you from all of us at The WCHL Podcast!

University of Utah Head Coach Morgan Feenie is the very special guest on this episode of The WCHL Podcast! Coach Feenie discusses how he came to Utah and the Skatin' Utes organization, getting to know ACHA hockey and how the M1 rankings work, his recruiting style, playing games at midnight, coaching with his Dad on the bench, predictions for this week's games involving WCHL teams, and what he expects from his Utah team. We also delve into some non-ACHA hockey topics like the best time of the year to hit the slopes in Park City, prison tattoos, the best candy bar and what makes it so special, what its like to have an NHL team dropped in your city overnight, diving into mountain lakes, and much more! Coach Feenie was a great sport and so tolerant, putting up with suboptimal questions and crap production - hey, he even included a special message for a certain someone - is it for you? You'll have to listen to find out!

Andrew is back and brings an update as to the goings-on at Redneck Estates! After that, the guys get down to hockey business and discuss what the upcoming ACHA M1 rankings *might* look like, review all of the sweeps in the WCHL last weekend, take a look at some exciting out-of-conference games coming up, and then get into Beetlejuice, non-traditional Thanksgiving fare, shady dealings from another division, and more! It might be a smidge earlier in the week than normal for the podcast but it's still as suboptimal as ever! Enjoy!

Lots of news dominates this episode of The WCHL Podcast! CHL players now allowed in NCAA D1 but what does that mean for the ACHA? Are there any new teams coming to ACHA M1 next season? Which WCHL teams are flexing their muscles and which WCHL teams are stubbing their toes? How many WCHL teams are in the latest ACHA M1 Top 25 Ranking? Why did that ranking get released early? Do you use a liner for your air fryer? Have you ever heard of a Cinnamon Broom? What is a Cinnamon Coconut Roll? And just how much ammo/fishing flies did Andrew hand out to trick or treaters?

The answers to all these questions and much more are just a click away! Sit back, get comfortable, and have a listen!
