About this Podcast:
As a new fan to the NHL and the Utah Mammoth I explore the sport and well as the people involved. I am in my infancy as a hockey fan but I am a 25 year veteran of genealogy research. I have researched players, coaches, broadcasters, and journalists to learn more about them and their families. I found so much great information I wanted to share.
