2017 has ended. 12 months done and we're at the halfway point of the 2017/18 season so it's time to look back.

Anthony covers all the recent NIHL goings on as well as some other hockey news but then it's time to get serious with the State of Hockey 2017 Address where the BOTW Podcast looks back at a few things. No swear words but some strong words about where British hockey finds itself.

The BOTW Podcast in association with Victory Hockey UK; the news, action and views from the NIHL and all levels above, below and in between.
