Hello everybody. Welcome to another episode of HockBlogger Mornings. I am Brian M. Hauser. You can find me and this show

everywhere that you get your content, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, all at hoc blogger.

And thanks to everybody who's been leaving reviews, giving the show likes,

we have officially crossed the 30,000 subscriber threshold on YouTube.

I kind of stopped with the milestones a while ago,

but you guys just keep pushing us to new ones.

And it's crazy.

Honestly, when I started this last year, we were at around 7,000 subs, I think.

And more than doubled last year, more than doubled this year.

And it's very cool.

It's very cool.

I think we're growing something fun here.

And I've heard from a lot of you both in person and through the show how much the

community means to you.

And it certainly means that to me as well.

And it means that to the crew, the Real Hawk Talk crew.

So thanks to everybody who has contributed to the community, to the show, all of that,

our sponsors as well. And I made a promise that after we hit 30,000 subs, I would give away

tickets to the next game. I did not know it was going to be this game, but here's where we are. And I'm a man of my

word. So I will find a way to get tickets for this game and give them away to somebody. If somebody has

extra tickets and they want to do me a solid or they're a big fan of the show and they want to

contribute in that way, I will not say no to a free pair of tickets or a reasonably priced pair of tickets.
