Hey everyone! This is just a quick check in episode to provide an update on the changing form of our podcast.

We've been posting classic revisits throughout the summer and keeping a weekly schedule, but we're going to be shifting to a more infrequent posting schedule with more finely curated episodes coming your way.

**This is a classic re-release of episode 32 of The Sign Off: A Frameworth Podcast from October 28, 2021**

This week we take a break from talking about Sports Memorabilia to talk about an entirely different realm of sports occupation.

We're joined by ex Winnipeg Jets Captain and current Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations Kris King as he recounts NOT ONLY his 14 year playing career, but his 20+ year career working in Hockey Ops for the NHL.

He opens up the doors to the NHL War Room to give us some inside information on what goes on each and every night as calls are sent to them for review.

They called him "The Entertainer" for a reason. Eddie Shack was as exciting on the ice as he was off of it.

For a man who grew up illiterate, he managed to chart a path which brought him more success and accolades than some of the most well-read people out there.

Along the way he couldn't help but be loved by just about everyone he came across, and as a result his life's story could fill an entire book.

In 2019 Brian Ehrenworth, the President of Frameworth Sports Marketing and Frameworth Publishing, recruited Ken Reid to help tell the story of Eddie's life.

Before the end of the year, they were touring across Canada celebrating The Entertainer's return to the limelight.

In this episode we sit down to recount everything that went into making the book--from the exhaustion to the exhilaration.

**This is a classic re-release of episode 20 of The Sign Off: A Frameworth Podcast from August 5th, 2021**

When we started this podcast we set out to give our listeners an inside look at the world of Sports Marketing. There is a lot of hard work that goes into our industry, but we wanted to make sure we also showed the lighter side.

As is the case with all industries, as an oasis in the middle of our more difficult times we have the luxury of taking part in events, meet interesting people, and let loose with some of the most incredible characters around.

In this episode we wanted to make a point to highlight some of these moments by outlining some of the funniest stories we've experienced over the years.

We plan on revisiting this formula plenty of times in the future, so let us know what you think!

**This is a classic re-release of episode 3 of The Sign Off: A Frameworth Podcast from April of 2021**

Some of the most interesting names in sports are the ones you may have never heard of. This week, we're joined by someone who is living proof.

If you know the name "Rocket," it's either because you've been on the wrong side of an athlete interaction, or the right one.

Rocket has worked in the field of Athlete Security and Concierge services for decades, and he's known in the industry for having some of the most amazing stories from the inside.

We learn how he got involved in this business, and he shares some of his most memorable experiences.

**This is a classic re-release of episode 13 of The Sign Off: A Frameworth Podcast from June of 2021**

It's almost impossible to talk about the best teams or players to ever take to the ice without someone bringing up the fact that "the game is way too different today to start comparing eras."

While that might be true in a general sense, one aspect of the current NHL seems to be overlooked quite frequently: toughness.

Are modern NHL players less tough than the breed of athlete we used to see decades ago? Or have the rules changed so much around them that that type of play simply doesn't work anymore?

Who better to ask than one of the most well rounded, toughest players to ever lace up the skates? We're joined in studio by Wendel Clark to get his perspective on the modern NHL, and how the league uses the idea of "toughness" as a selling point to attract new viewers.

We all know Wayne Gretzky as "The Great One," but who does HE consider to be great?

We're joined by lifelong friend and self proclaimed "Male Groupie" of Wayne Gretzky -- "Jungle" Jim Jerome -- as he regales us with hilarious stories from a life spent hanging out with the NHL elite.

He's been described by Wayne Gretzky as "The funniest person in the world" and he's no stranger to broadcasting in his own right, with several successful podcasts including "The Suspendables" with Russ Courtnall, and "Inside Curling" on Sportsnet's podcast network.

If you're up for a laugh, this is one you can't afford to miss. We get into marketing and memorabilia, but this is a lighter episode compared to our usual tone.

*This is a re-release of episode 7 of The Sign Off: A Frameworth Podcast*

No matter how hard you try, and how careful you are, every so often something is going to slip through the cracks.

This is a story of one of those times when the worst case scenario comes to light. When given an NHL Superstar's collection of his own game worn jerseys for framing, they somehow managed to seemingly vanish off the face of the earth.

Every element of this story is mind blowing: from how they disappeared, to the steps we had to take in order to rectify the issue.

Believe it or not: this is one of the stories which made us consider starting a podcast in the first place, and after listening to this episode you'll know why.
