“It’s the fastest most action packed and exciting sport there is…”

Episode 12 is about Ice Hockey.  Brian is up to convince Vinz about the sport of Ice Hockey.  Brian has played and been a fan of sport for most of his life. This episode will be the first in a series of many to come.  Brian’s passion for the sport comes through in this episode as he introduces hockey to Vinz, who know absolutely NOTHING about it.  There is some break down of the basics of the sport as well as some details to how Brian got involved through the years.  This episode is bit less structured than the others till now because Brian has LOTS to talk about. In the future we will do episodes on specific topic as Brian continues to introduce Vinz to the many facets of Ice Hockey.  From the NHL to Brian’s local Men’s Leauge (Beer Leauge) team there will much and more to come about what some (Brian) would consider the greatest sport on earth. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy.

Get convinzed of “LAX”

Lacrosse is a well known sport in most parts of the United States and Canada. However, in Europe the most common reaction to the word lacrosse is…… huh? Brian, who played lacrosse from a young age than into his early 20’s, does his best to explain the rules of this complex team sport to Vinz. The rules however are not the only interesting part of lacrosse. Brian gets into “LAX’s” place in American culture and society. The intensity, speed and physicality of lacrosse definitely catches Vinz’s interest and Brian’s passion and involvement in the sport is infectious. Give it a listen.
