What is The Next Shift Podcast?

The Next Shift Podcast is an upgrade from our old show, “Puck Off.” Chris Nosek and Kenny Kaminsky join forces as they bring coverage and analysis to leagues from around the world. Chris and Kenny follow the path of players who are in the AHL, NCAA, QMJHL, OHL, WHL, and other leagues, as they travel their journeys in the game of hockey - and fight to make it to the National Hockey League.
