This week on Enjoying Orange Slices with Jeff & Ian 🍊🏒

Ian checks in from Terrace, BC after a brutal travel day (and an even wilder discovery: the "Terrace Batman"). From there, Jeff and Ian dig into what they're seeing around the league—Boston's edge (and the discipline they'll need to rein it in), the Olympic break looming, and the latest Team Canada shake-up (with Sam Bennett stepping in).

Then the guys welcome Jamie Hersch—broadcaster, host, play-by-play voice, and a familiar face around the Golden Knights. Jamie shares her path from Minnesota to the hockey world, why play-by-play is the ultimate prep grind, and the "pilot in turbulence" advice that helped her level up behind the mic. The conversation also dives into her work around the Knights (including bench/rink-side duties) and a great breakdown of what's fueling the PWHL's momentum right now.

In This Episode:

• Terrace Batman, travel chaos, and northern BC winter vibes 🦇✈️

• Boston's "Big Bad" energy—and why discipline is the difference-maker 🐝

• Olympics around the corner + Team Canada roster news 🇨🇦

• Jamie Hersch on the prep, pressure, and adrenaline of play-by-play 🎙️

This week on Enjoying Orange Slices with Jeff & Ian (Part 2) 🍊🏒

Part 2 picks up right where Part 1 left off—with Alec Martinez still in the hot seat and the conversation getting even looser, funnier, and more behind-the-scenes. From broadcast life to alumni competitiveness, Marty takes the boys deep into the stuff you don't usually hear… with the usual Orange Slices chirping along the way.

In This Episode (Part 2):

• "Modality" talk, training-room lingo, and why Marty's got all the $10 words 😂

• The jump from player to analyst: prep, quick-hit intermission windows, and working with Darren Millard & the crew 🎙️

• The real-life chaos behind the scenes—kids, snacks, and trying to stay locked in as a new chapter starts

• Marty's first time back in skates since retiring: the Shoresy celebrity/alumni game, nerves, and the near-disaster with skate guards 😅

• Why alumni games still get competitive: "are we shooting to score?" and the bench mentality that never leaves

• A cool Kings flashback moment with familiar names on the ice—like a mini time machine

• Wrap-up banter, stick talk, and a couple heartfelt shout-outs to close it out
