Crust the Process

Kyle McKenna brings his writing desk to the microphone for McKenna's NHL Podcast, a weekly conversation that digs into the grind and glory across all 31 clubs. This isn't just a recap show. Drawing from his experience covering the league for outlets like Hooked On Hockey Magazine, Kyle blends reported insight with strong opinions, whether breaking down a surprising trade, analyzing a team's slump, or forecasting a playoff matchup. The tone is informed but accessible, like a deep dive with a knowledgeable friend. A unique staple of the podcast is the 'Friday pizza' advice segment, serving up straightforward answers to listener questions about the league's biggest puzzles. Those questions often come from the #McKennasDigest hashtag, where fan submissions can fuel part of the discussion. So, whether you're a die-hard following the nightly box scores or a casual fan looking to understand the league's narratives, this podcast offers a consistent, thoughtful take. It’s the audio equivalent of a well-reported column, where the focus stays on the ice-the players, the strategies, and the stories that define the long NHL season. You'll get clarity on complex issues and maybe even a few strong takes to debate with your own hockey circle.
