The Host
Jay Stevens
"Twenty-six years as a professional emergency backup goaltender. Nineteen years coaching. Ten years hosting a hockey podcast. Twenty-eight years as a paramedic and firefighter in the Salt Lake Valley.
I've spent my career reading a room in the worst five minutes of somebody's life — turns out that's useful in a locker room too. And I've spent almost as long sitting on the end of a pro bench in full gear hoping nobody got hurt.
Utah Rink Rat is the show I wanted to listen to: no corporate voice, no pretending, and no wasting your time."
