Shownotes

Content Warning- We do discuss the passing of former AHL forward Adam Johnson. While we do not show the video or discuss the injury in detail, we recognize this may be a sensitive subject for some people. Following our show notes are resources to find help if you need it.

Another exciting week of American Hockey League action is in the books! From the good, the bad, and the important news around the league and hockey world, we cover it.

For episode four of the Calder's Calling podcast, Jakob Forster, Deana Weinheimer, and Zander Manning start by remembering Adam Johnson, who spent several seasons in the AHL.

The hosts then turn to their power rankings. Why is the Laval Rocket filled with talent but not racking up wins? They share their theories.

Next, they chat about the awarding of the AHL Player of the Week to Raphael Lavoie out of the Bakersfield Condors. What gave him the edge over so many other clutch performances? Find out what we think!

Deana then leads you through the 2024 inductees to the AHL Hall of Fame.

Jakob then leads us through a discussion on player safety and what moves are being made to make hockey safer for all ages and levels. How does this impact the AHL? Who is already implementing newer safety gear? It's a critical discussion, and we get into it.

Then, Deana talks about an odd yet clutch style of play that the Grand Rapids Griffins have settled into.

Finally, Zander brings up the idea of more outdoor games in the AHL. How do you feel about that? Sound off in the comments!
