Totally Unwilling Hockey

Welcome to Totally Unwilling Hockey

Come join us as we look to bring you as much hockey coverage as we can. This site will feature game and news reactions, podcast, and builds on the NHL franchise video game.

Why the name “totally unwilling”? Well, that stems back form our first days streaming on Twitch when we were still under the name “line change”. We were on stream one night and kept offering trades to teams which the majority were met with “We are totally unwilling” and it was suggested that we name the stream the “totally unwilling stream” and then we suggested that we should name the channel “Totally Unwilling Hockey” and thus we were born. We have been streaming on Twitch since April of 2022.

We stream on Twitch three to five times a week.

Up Coming

NHL27 is out now!

NHL27 is out and I finally got mine, stupid Walmart, Target and Best Buy for not having it in store on the release day, but we go it and our journey starts on 9/16 with the Mammoth. Going to be adding a few other series that I’ve been kind of thinking about. With Sony getting rid of disc copies in 2029, we will more than likely be getting NHL28 just to add it to the collection. Stay turned and let’s see how bad 27 really is.
