This one gets a little greasy. We break down a Florida youth hockey controversy where a player played up, tried to return to his age group, and suddenly the complaints rolled in once he was “too good.”

We talk fairness, development, and why this stuff always gets messier than it needs to be.

Then we pivot to the USPHL Showcase experience and the real cost for families to attend games, not just money, but time, travel, and expectations.

All of it wrapped in some seasonal hockey talk, plenty of laughs, and a few spicy takes that might ruffle feathers.

Hockey is supposed to be fun. We don’t forget that part.
