It’s not often that a 24-year-old is on the verge of setting franchise scoring records. Our guest for episode five of Calder’s Calling- an AHL podcast is primed to do just that! We are honored to welcome Cleveland Monsters forward Trey Fix-Wolansky to the show! Plus, the whole crew is back together as Corey Swartz, Deana Weinheimer, Jakub Forster, and Zander Manning cover the last week in American Hockey League action.
First- the quick hits! It’s goalie takeover night as we discuss the play of Dustin Tokarski, Dennis Hildeby, and Jesper Wallstedt. Gerry Mayhew continues to impress in the American Hockey League- what did he do last week that caught our eye? Finally, we look at the Ontario Reign. Was last weekend a fluke or a sign of possible trouble in the kingdom?
Next, we unveil the three stars of the week! A former Calder’s Calling guest impressed again- leading him to the top of Jakub’s leaderboard.
Jakub shines the light on an outstanding AHL rookie class for the 2023-24 season. Who’s hot, who is defying expectations, and which unsigned draft pick is on top of the pack? We discuss.
Then, Trey Fix-Wolansky joins the show in Deana’s weekly segment. From changes to the Monsters’ roster, the controversy surrounding Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Kent Johnson’s recent loan to the AHL, his dream linemates, and specialty jerseys, he opens up to us about it all! Stick around for his pick for his favorite specialty jersey- it’s amazing!
Corey keeps the conversation around the specialty jerseys going as the group shares their picks for the top theme nights and jerseys slated for the rest of the season.
Finally, Zander shares his opinions on the state of the coach’s challenge in the AHL.
