Week one of the 2023-24 American Hockey League (AHL) season got off to a hot start! From the first goals of many players’ professional careers to the first shutout of the season, it has happened already. Join your hosts, Deana Weinheimer, Jakob Forster, and Zander Manning, as they cover it all.
In episode two of Calder’s Calling – An AHL Podcast, learn what Trey Fix-Wolansky, Taro Hirose, Matt Villalta, and Sheldon Rempal have in common. (Hint- it’s part of a new weekly segment on Calder’s Calling!)
Then, we talk about surprises. Unexpected teams coming in hot (we are looking at you, San Diego Gulls) and underdogs take center stage.
Your hosts then discuss a signing made by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Tuesday, defenseman Libor Hajek. They also review a trade featuring Jack Rathbone and the unfortunate injury to Texas Stars defenseman Gavin Bayreuther.
In our special/specific/we are figuring out a name for these segments, Jakob leads off with a deep dive into some of our surprises to start the season.
Deana then leads you through a multimedia spectacle celebrating all of the first professional and AHL goals scored in week one of the 2023-24 AHL Season.
Finally, Zander talks about the dreaded three-in-three schedules for the AHL. Are they a good thing? Does getting rid of them limit the fans that can come to games? We sound off!
