Michael Leopold returns to ice hockey: A podcast full of excitement!
Ice hockey fan and Sky commentator Michael Leopold is back on the big stage of Puksport! In the latest episode of the Allgäuer Zeitung podcast “Stockcheck”, presented by Daniel Halder and Manuel Weis, Leopold chats about his return to ice hockey broadcasts. He doesn't miss the opportunity to share his passion for SC Riessersee, which he has supported as a fan since his earliest days. It is a play that unites the ice hockey world and is intended to inspire spectators, especially in times when the NHL is still unknown to many.
As the Digital television reports, Leopold is returning to ice hockey during the international break. This weekend he will be commentating on an ice hockey game again after 18 years. His last comment was back in 2007 - an eternity in sport! Back then it was the Stanley Cup Finals. Leopold will take over the match between the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres, while Patrick Köppchen, his buddy from the hobby group, will act as co-commentator.
A heart for the NHL
In the podcast episode, Leopold also talks about the NHL's current stars, such as Leon Draisaitl and Nico Sturm, and draws parallels to their development in North America. He philosophized about Connor McDavid, who is almost unknown in Germany. Such insights are particularly enriching for the fans of the German players. Leopold talks about personal experiences that leave him with goosebumps not only as a commentator but also as a fan.
Together with exciting predictions for the Stanley Cup, Leopold ensures that listeners are well introduced to the topic of ice hockey. The “Stockcheck” podcast is available on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts, always with fresh topics, such as the season preview for the DEL2 and the Oberliga, in which the expectations of the fan base play the central role. Here, squad analyzes and coaching interviews become heated discussions among die-hard fans.
Future of ice hockey
Michael Leopold's return is not only a significant step for him, but also a small ray of hope for the ice hockey community in Germany. Sky had already secured the ice hockey rights in 2021 and Leopold is now an integral part of the broadcasts again. His passion and expertise only benefit the sport and give hope that the next few years will bring many exciting games.
Although Leopold has only planned this one mission for the time being, there is still anticipation for further transmissions. So we can only hope that it wasn't the last appearance of the beloved presenter and that we will hear from him again soon - on the ice hockey adventures, which he will undoubtedly provide exciting narrative support for.
