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 blogs, game and news reactions, podcast, and builds on the NHL franchise video games. This site is still a work in progress so please go easy on us as we try to get it running and organized.
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 2022.
