With the holiday season in full swing, Adnan Virk and Jason Demers discuss a great night in Edmonton, the theory behind all these drones in New Jersey and why the NBA Cup is ridiculous. Then former NHL player Nate Thompson (21:30) shares his powerful message about mental health as well as his connection to the Jewish faith. Naturally, Adnan weighs in on the recent Academy Awards shortlist announcement and Jason shares plenty of stories about the time he thought he was drafted (he wasn't, yet) and the time he thought he was Jewish (he wasn't).

Every week, longtime broadcaster Adnan Virk and former NHL defenseman Jason Demers sit down for a conversation that starts with hockey and often ends up somewhere completely unexpected. NHL Unscripted with Virk and Demers is a podcast built on their easy chemistry, where breaking down the latest on-ice action is just the opening face-off. You'll hear their insider perspectives on league news, trades, and playoff races, delivered with the kind of candid analysis that comes from a lifetime in and around the game. But the charm of this show is in its detours. True to its name, the discussion frequently veers into spirited debates about movies, food, pro wrestling, and whatever else happens to be on their minds that week, capturing the feel of a lively, meandering chat between friends. They’re regularly joined by an array of guests from across the sports and entertainment worlds who drop into the soiree, adding new voices and unpredictable angles to the mix. Produced by iHeartPodcasts, each episode promises a genuine, off-the-cuff experience where hockey is the home base, but absolutely everything else is fair game. It’s this blend of professional insight and personal, often hilarious, tangents that makes the podcast a refreshing listen for anyone who loves sports talk that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
