About this listen

 Neutral Zone Hotel is an unapologetically left-leaning, inclusive podcast about hockey, topics around hockey, and, sometimes, things that aren't hockey. The show features a rotating crew of six hosts and their special guests, who will discuss current events, take deep dives into interesting topics, and occasionally break for a bit of fun. We welcome all fans, new and old, to check into the Neutral Zone Hotel with us.
