Plus: The New 3ICE Hockey League
Episode #117: May 5, 2022

After a week off (because Sal was sick) the Puck Junk Podcast is back. This time, Sal Barry and Tim Parish talk about the late, great Guy Lafleur, his accomplishments, and some of his best hockey cards. The fellows also talk about the new 3ICE Hockey League, Anaheim’s emergency backup goaltender…and the fact that they want to buy new hockey cards, but there are no new hockey cards to buy. It’s 95 minutes of hockey goodness!
