  • TXHT Year Five is Coming!!

    TXHT Year Five is Coming!!

    “The Xperience Hockey Talk”… Serious Hockey Talk For Serious Hockey Fans. A motto created during the summer of 2015 and with a vision in mind to grow the game of hockey the right way and by talking about the game of hockey by taking the game seriously and looking at it as a way to help educate the masses on the game.

     

    Here we are now. We’ve finished off our fourth season with preparations for the 2019-20 season, our fifth year of covering hockey, underway.

     

    During these first four years we’ve had many ups and downs, but the vision has remained the same. From being on TauRadio, to WBGR and Twitch, to having TXHTHockey.com. TXHT has grown, and year five will be our biggest yet.

     

    Starting tomorrow we will begin our TXHT Jersey Share series which will be released everyday at 10a EST with a new jersey featured. Then in September our 2019-20 NHL Team previews will be released along with the return of the TXHT Podcast previewing the NHL 2019-20 season.

     

    In regards to our Women’s Hockey coverage, TXHT will be expanding it’s coverage of the National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL). To go along with TXHT’s continual coverage on the podcast, Michael will now be joining Shaggy covering NWHL games and once the 2019-20 schedule is announced we will have a better idea as to how many games we’ll be covering this upcoming season.

     

    Also TXHT will be adding Scott Fairchild who will be covering Washington Capitals games with Michael. Scott will also be doing occasional New Jersey Devils coverage throughout the season. Also Shaggy will be doing occasional Carolina Hurricanes coverage throughout the season as well.

     

    There will be more things that we will be announcing, but those will be announced at a later time, including an idea that was attempted in our second year that we want to bring back.

     

    TXHT is going to be five years old this September, and we can’t wait for the ride to continue this fall. It’s going to be a great year.
