Torrent’s Gold Plan Goals, King County Assessor’s Stalking Case, and Film Festival Season Kicks Off
Today on the show, guest host Ashley Smith is joined by contributor Chase Hutchinson and special guest Ava Wood, AKA 365 Hockey Girl, content creator and newsletter writer. Ava brings everything you need to know about The Torrent’s final game. She says the team may be last in the standings, but Saturday's season finale against Montreal could be their most important game yet thanks to the "gold plan." Plus, she gets into the real-life heated rivalries in women’s hockey. Then, Ashley breaks down the ongoing saga of the King County Assessor being asked to resign for the second time due to alleged stalking and harassment of his ex-fiancée. And finally, Chase discusses film festival season and the films worth checking out.
