When was the last time you had an adventure that combined whiskey, stunning natural wonders, and hockey talk all in one? Join us, Hawes and Maguire, as we kick this season off in Port Rush, sharing tales from our whirlwind trip across Northern Ireland. Cristin's organizational prowess kept us on track through whiskey tastings at Bushmills and the awe-inspiring Giant’s Causeway. We're also joined by Dave, last year's hockey pool champion, who adds a fresh perspective on this magical journey, despite his self-proclaimed poor golf skills.

Switching gears from scenic landscapes to the rink, our banter weaves through late-night bar antics, golfing escapades, and a deep dive into the NHL preseason. We're dishing out tips for aspiring hockey pool participants and even explore the tantalizing idea of a trip to Ireland as a prize. Special nods are in order for Seamus Casey netting his first NHL goal while we are on Irish soil?? and speculations about Paul Henderson's Hockey Hall of Fame prospects, thanks to Mike Gartner's influence.

To wrap up this episode, we reflect on our shared love for travel, sports, and the occasional pint, recalling past trips and planning new adventures. We chat about the beauty of Belfast, ponder over the North-South divide, and muse on the challenges of keeping up with sports while on the road, especially during key playoff seasons. Balancing gigs with globetrotting, we find joy in the camaraderie of our adventures. Join us for a hearty blend of laughter, insights, and the spirit of offside travels with Hawes and Maguire.
