This week we're joined by Paul Patskou who is known as one of the NHL's foremost authorities in history, archiving, video, writing, and more.
He's dedicated his life to preserving, recreating, and sourcing some of the most iconic moments in hockey history. Without his help, and his expertise in archived footage, it's likely that we would not have the videos which have allowed fans to relive moments like the 1972 Summit Series, the breaking of the NHL's "colour barrier," and Bill Barilko's Stanley Cup winning overtime goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ron Duguay: From Madison Square Garden to Studio 54
2 RecommendationsNowadays hockey players are bonafide celebrities, and they receive the same praise and adoration as the likes of musicians and movie starts.
However, it wasn't really until the 1970s that NHL players were seen in the same circles as the world's most popular people.
At the forefront of this movement was this week's guest on the podcast: Ron Duguay. He's a man who was written about as often in the tabloids as he was in the sports section, and he relished every minute of it.
He joins us to talk about what it was like creating an image for himself, and for the league, both on and off the ice.
You can find his podcast "Up in the Blue Seats: A NY Rangers Podcast" alongside Mollie Walker and Larry Brooks on any podcast platform!
