The season is off and running and we've got 2 really good guests on a sort of inadvertant northern special.

We talk to the man behind Victory Hockey UK, Mike Newton as the newest hockey clothing apparel company launches its website. We chat about hockey in Manchester and just what made him decide to get into the hockey clothing game.

We also chat to Andrew Turnbull who is in the process of writing "The Big Blue Machine; 10 years of the Durham Wasps" about hockey history in the north east and what his plans are for the book.

That and all the news should keep you tided over nicely.
