Hello there Isles Faithful! We are back with another episode where we talk puck, coffee (a podcast staple) and a slew of other topics.

Episode 14 features Wayne Cafariella of Kings Coast Coffee, a local small batch coffee roaster who tells me his caffeinated goodness is enjoyed by Islanders players and broadcasters alike. Earlier this week I noticed that Brendan Burke posted up a picture of Kings Coast and I joked that I was insanely jealous and pondering my life coffee choices.

Really excited for this morning to try some @kings_coast coffee. Big thanks to @chefwayneface for making it happen. pic.twitter.com/4c9BXaYTVm

Freshly Roasted!

Wayne reached out to me and asked me if I wanted a sample (still waiting for delivery) but I took him up on the offer. We started talking and I found out that he's a rabid Islanders fan - like the rest of us, he also knows a lot of the people I know in the craft beer industry and plays on a rival brewery beer league team. Such a small world, which is why I invited him on the show.

Besides being schooled on how to make the perfect roast, we talked about all of the Islanders moves to date (Lou, Trotz, Signings), how he became a fan, how he got into coffee and everything about his business. It was another one of those conversations where I felt like we could've talked for hours on end.

Out what would turn into a wave of irony, we discussed Anthony Beauvillier's struggles, as well as Leddy and Boychuk's. We would also talk about how GREAT Brock Nelson and Anders Lee would be playing, Barzal's development and take Twitter questions on what we feel about potential trades and who we think should be called up from Bridgeport to replace the injured Ladd, Cizikas and Martin. Turns out, we speculated in Michael Dal Cole - we were right. We mentioned how Beau would break out - he did, for a hat trick last night against the Rangers. We plan on recording again, for the simple fact that things just worked out too perfect in what we discussed.

With that, please give Wayne a follow on Twitter, he can be found @chefwayneface and the coffee company can be found @kings_coast. I also ask you to check out their website: https://www.kingscoastcoffee.com as well as their Facebook and Instagram accounts as well. The brand is super cool, and I suspect the product is just as delicious. I cannot wait for it to arrive.

Wayne was also SUPER GENEROUS to our readers and listeners that if you use the
Promo Code ISLES you'll receive 15% off your ENTIRE ORDER! I don't know about you, but with the Holiday's right around the corner, how is that not the perfect gift idea?!

Wayne was so knowledgeable about hockey, coffee and local business that I hope he becomes a regular on the show. Let us know what you think in the comments!
