It’s a jam-packed Local Sports Roundup on The Man Cave Podcast with Dan Kasper, powered by Carpet City Flooring Center. Dan and the crew break down a thrilling night of high school hockey, highlighted by Eau Claire North’s rivalry win over Memorial during a celebration of 50 years of Eau Claire hockey. The conversation dives deep into Big Rivers Conference implications, postseason outlooks, and why this league continues to be one of the toughest around.
On the girls side, the spotlight shifts to the ultra-competitive Big Rivers girls hockey race, where every team is capable of beating anyone on any night. The crew also previews a massive girls basketball showdown between Eau Claire Memorial and Rice Lake, one of the marquee matchups of the season.
From there, it’s a full tour of the winter sports landscape: boys and girls basketball across the Big Rivers, Western Cloverbelt, and St. Croix Valley, wrestling ramping up with big invitationals and conference action, and updates on gymnastics and swimming as the second half of the season hits full stride.
The episode wraps with a look at the college sports slate, including UW–Eau Claire and UW–Stout basketball, hockey, wrestling, gymnastics, and more as the winter sports calendar shifts into high gear.
