This week on Block Party, hosts Greg Wolf and Braydon Coburn sit down with Tampa Bay Lightning forward Conor Geekie for a wide-ranging and hilarious conversation about life on and off the ice. From his development journey and time in Syracuse to becoming a key part of the Lightning locker room culture, Geekie opens up about the growth that's helped him reach the next level of his game.

Geekie shares how working with renowned skating coach Barb Underhill helped transform his skating, discusses the confidence he's gained as a player, and explains why switching to No. 94 has become part of his identity. He also takes fans behind the scenes of his recent engagement, wedding planning in Saskatchewan, his role as the team's unofficial DJ, gaming habits, Star Wars obsession, and the NHL rule he'd most like to change.

Plus, hear stories about slow-pitch softball tournaments, hockey superstitions, stick customization, locker room music, and the close bond shared by the Lightning's young core.
