If you’ve ever wondered whether 3D printers can do more for hockey than crank out flexi-dragons, this episode is for you. We break down what not to print (pucks, targets, protective gear), and share practical beer-league-ready ideas: stickhandling aids, blade wraps, bottle carriers, gear organizers, SKÅDIS wall setups, and Sparx storage. There is even some cool uses for broken-sticks and a few just-for-fun prints that will look awesome in your hockey cave.

Mike Steiner of Beers on Ice stops by to share progress on "Road to the Pros" and some new things to keep an eye out for. Before that, we get into skate sharpening, rink temperatures, beers in the locker room, behind the scenes of beer league social media, and a lot more, we even give our Stanley Cup picks.

This episode had some technical difficulties during recording, which led to some "interesting" moments, some of which are at the end, so make sure you stick around.
