S6E13: The Beauty of Covering a Wagon (feat. Sam Wismer of Olde City Sports Network)
The Grand Rapids Griffins and Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins are off to a blazing hot start to the 2025-26 season. A 5-0 start for the Griffins is the franchise record for hottest start to a season. The only other season they accomplished this feat was 2004-05.
The Penguins are on a massive 7-0 streak to start the season. Both have huge games coming up in the last week of October. Their hopes are to keep the streak alive.
On Monday, October 28, 2025, I sat down with Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins beat reporter Sam Wismer of Olde City Sports to discuss what it's like to cover a wagon of a team. We also discussed a few other AHL and hockey related things !
Enjoy!
