The 2026 Winter Olympics start this week in Milan-Cortina, and the representation from Minnesota is HUGE to say the least. The Minnesota Wild are sending a ton of players and personnel, and the Minnesota Frost and Golden Gophers are getting in on the fun as well. Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle join us this week, before heading to Italy on their quest for Gold. The ladies chat about their Olympic dreams, their teammates Kelly Pannek and Abbey Murphy among others, and how they plan to get comfortable in the Olympic village. Kinger expresses his absolute admiration for all things TEAM USA, starting with the Ralph Lauren gear that every athlete will adorn for opening and closing ceremonies. While the girls discuss the olympic village, game day fits, and preferred candle scents, the dreams of Gold dance in all of our heads. The 2026 Winter Olympics are upon us, and these two-time Walter Cup champions have set their sites on the top of the podium. Stop by for a listen, but give yourself some extra time to get you cha cha’s in, cause this pod is lengthy one. This is Wild on 7th with an Olympic sized warmup. USA! USA! USA!

Dope. Caramel chocolate chip and sea salt is amazing. Always TREX cookies. Also the Frost are amazing. Go to a game. Everyone go to a game. 40 people each thats incredible.
heise the BEAST
If they're that worried about the pillow case, she could get a separate pillowcase just for the airport and keep the nice silk one packed until you get there.
Bertuzzi has been on the hawks for like 2 years but they wont trade him. He plays too well with the team
These two are always a better interview than most of the Wild players. I don’t know if they’re just more laid back or what, but keep having them on as often as possible
Zummi is my fav!!!
