Hello, hello!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz are back at it again, digging into yet another WTF from the NHL.

El and Steph have all the latest on the NHL once again failing their claim that hockey is for everyone.

Then for part two, the gals serve up some positive news ahead of Thursday’s start to the NCAA volleyball championship tournament. Listen in for a tourney preview, plus a look at the massive growth of the game. Aces.
