Today's Podcast: David Kilfoil, Mike McMahon

The Without a Peer podcast makes its 2011-12 debut this afternoon with a couple of format tweaks, but nonetheless, we're back on the air.

Today at 3:30pm Eastern, Without a Peer Radio (our new name) goes live with a good half an hour worth of interviews.

Our first guest will be David Kilfoil, from the University of New Brunswick. We talked with David last year before the Engineers' tangle with the UNB Varsity Reds, and he provided some very solid insight into his team. This year, with RPI set to take on the Acadia Axemen from the same Atlantic University Sport conference as UNB, David will return to give us a quick primer on Acadia.

Our second guest is Mike McMahon, who covers Merrimack, Hockey East, and college hockey in general for the Eagle Tribune of North Andover, Mass. Mike has had his finger on the pulse of the Notre Dame saga as it has played out within Hockey East, and we'll get his take on the whole affair, what it means for RPI, and if we have time we'll get a quick Hockey East preview as well.

This year, our podcasts will mostly feature interviews with players, coaches, members of the media, and other relevant and interesting guests. We hope you'll continue to listen as we bring you some great interviews from around the college hockey world.

Upcoming Podcast: David Kilfoil, Arlan Marttila

We're settling into a solid time for our podcasts - they're probably going to be Wednesdays at 8pm unless we need something different in a given week to accommodate our guests. This week will be at the new normal time of 8pm on Wednesday, September 29th.

This week, we have two featured guests from opposite ends of the college hockey continent. We'll be joined by The CIS Blog contributor David Kilfoil, who will clue us in on what to expect in the Engineers' exhibition game against the University of New Brunswick in a week's time, as well as give us a rundown of the hierarchy as it pertains to college hockey in Canada.

We'll also talk to Gopher Puck Live's Arlan Marttila. Arlan covers the Minnesota women's team for GPL and USCHO.com and is one of the finest sources for information about the wild wild west, where the Engineers head this coming weekend as they venture to Madison to take on the Badgers. Arlan will let us know what the expectations are for #5 Wisconsin, as well as give us the low down on the WCHA this season.
