It’s a Whitley Thing – Details, episodes & analysis

In our first episode we welcome special guests General Manager Willie Dunn and Assistant Coach Robbie Pamphilon. Willie lets us know the latest news from Warriors and gives us his one-word verdict on the teams we'll come up against this season, while Robbie picks who he'd put on his own personal Mount Rushmore and talks about his role in the club and his journey to get there. No dogs were harmed during the making of this episode but two were told to shoosh because we were recording.

In this episode we mention that the public access emergency bleed control kit at Whitley Bay Ice Rink had to be used at a recent rec tournament and now needs replacing. It was originally donated by Adam's Angels, a charity set up after the tragic death of Adam Johnson. The bleed kit is £80 but the GoFundMe is also to raise money for Adam's Angels as without their support, the kit would not have been available and the outcome of the recent incident could have been a lot worse!

In this episode, Andy and Jordan welcome special guests Assistant Coach Shaun Kippin and Warriors' timekeeper Leanne Campbell. Skippy answers fans' questions and picks who he'd put on his own personal Mount Rushmore and Leanne gives us a behind the scenes glimpse of game night without swearing. Andy quotes one of the few lines from Shoresy that does not contain profanity but does contain the words "squeezer" and "dump". We said last time that Michelle would be back on the next episode but it was not to be.
