Hogan’s Alley - A Crokinole Podcast

Garrett Tracy joins Ryan and Terry to reveal what goes on behind the scenes at Tracey Boards, from social media, marketing and video editing to the surprisingly demanding art of Crokinole commentary.
Garrett explains how watching more Crokinole than almost anyone on the planet has improved his own game, what it’s like to commentate on himself in the third person, and why covering a match you already know you’ve lost requires a special kind of optimism.
The conversation also takes in scoreboard disasters, marathon World Championship coverage, Tim Hortons-fuelled tournament breaks and Crokinole’s rapid international growth.
Plus: possibly Hogan’s Alley’s worst-ever introduction, an unexpected Shoresy comparison, and the growing suspicion that Canada may no longer have this whole Crokinole thing to itself.

In this episode, Terry and Ryan deep dive into the world of Crokinole Doubles! Discussing the nuances of this fun and exciting variant, the emerging competitive scene and the psychology of having a teammate! We also discuss the recent Leicester Crokinole Crown Cup, the upcoming International Crokinole Day (August 20th), the Crokinole Grand Prix of Scotland and send out a dedication to the last ever Pink Shirt Pod! 

Terry is joined by Helen Temby fresh from organising her first tournament, at UK Games Expo, and Sammy Nour who was preparing to run his first UK tour event.  In this episode we try to explore some of the potential pitfalls Tournament Organisers can encounter, although inevitably we take some (hopefully) interesting diversions.

Ryan and Terry are back, and thankfully the lovely Helen Temby is coming along for the ride to keep them in check!  In this episode of Hogan’s, the crew review an action-packed day’s play from the recent UK Masters including the now infamous 20s Sweepstake.  Ryan and Helen then proceed to embarrass Terry again before moving on to discuss James Temby’s unique coaching style!
The trio then turn their attention to UK Games Expo where the Crokinole tournament has been rebranded “The Great British Flick Off”.  The episode is rounded off with some chat about this year’s International Crokinole Day and you can hear the latest from Jason Noble’s recent shift down the song mines.
Buckle up, it’s a beauty

In this episode of Hogan’s Alley, Ryan and Terry are back with a packed show that covers everything from The Airecon Crokinole Classic to the Crokinole UK Masters… and one slightly unhinged idea.

With the Masters on the horizon, we preview what to expect and how the tournament is shaping up, before casting an eye ahead to a busy summer of Crokinole events.
And then… Ryan proposes a new Crokinole variant. Is it innovation? Is it madness? We’ll let you decide. (Be sure to share your variants!) 
All that plus the usual banter, questionable tangents, and plenty of flicking good chat.
