Sean Cuthbert, a native of East Rockaway, has turned his lifelong passion for the New York Islanders into something more meaningful.
He started a podcast, which has been improving season after season.
Cuthbert, 41, said he started recording “Hockey Night in New York” from the basement of his brother’s house in East Rockaway in 2014, along with his brother, a cousin and a buddy named Tony.
“This was going to be kind of a passion thing,” Cuthbert said. “Just to see where it went. Then, wouldn’t you know it, all of a sudden, people started listening to it.
The audience started growing, and we made something out of it, and we just kept going, and ever since then it’s grown.”
All of a sudden, people started listening to it.

Cuthbert and his co-host, Stefen Rosner, 26, a Bellmore native and a journalist with The Hockey News, offer insights from both the professional’s and the sports fan’s perspectives.
“I’ve always been writing, but I knew that it was definitely something I wanted to do and try,” Rosner said of podcasting. “It has been awesome. I mean, getting to talk about hockey.
That’s my job. I get to do it full time during the day, so why not be able to do it by talking to the audience?”
Filmed weekly at Floored Media, in Rockville Centre, the show is unlike others in its category.
