Pucks From The Pine Tree Podcast
A channel about hockey, family and faith.....but yes mostly hockey. While I am a die hard Boston Bruins fan, this is not a "Bruins" channel. I cover the entire NHL and am media credentialed with the ECHL Maine Mariners. I also love talking about the University of Maine Black Bears hockey programs and the PWHL.
More importantly, I'm a follower of Jesus & a dad. Here on the channel I share stories about my faith and how Jesus has worked in my life....and you may see a cameo or two from the kiddo!
Come say hi and thanks for checking this out. I hope you all enjoy!
