The Hockey Show - Episode 384

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is on the road tonight as we set up camp at the BellMTS IcePlex where the 2020 Female World Sport School Challenge is being held! I'll be on-site this afternoon calling one of the tournament's opening games before settling in and getting the radio show rolling! This is one of my favorite road trips that the show does every year, and seeing the next wave of women's hockey players who will be stars with their respective U SPORTS and NCAA teams is always exciting! There are recruits from 22 schools already confirmed at the tournament, and we always see more and more scouts making contact and chatting with players who want to play at the post-secondary level. Tonight, we'll talk with a few people who are making those dreams a reality on The Hockey Show!

Tonight, Teebz sits down with St. Mary's Academy Flames head coach Larry Bumstead as we talk to him about the growth of the Female World Sport School Challenge, how his team is doing in the CSSHL, the many graduates he's coached who have moved on to collegiate hockey careers, and his work throughout Manitoba in helping kids achieve their dreams! If we're lucky, there might be a player or two who will drop by the broadcast area, and we'll talk to them about their careers, their future careers at the next level, and more! It's going to be another busy night on The Hockey Show, so make sure you tune in at 5:30pm CT!

Where's the best place can you hear the show if you're outside Winnipeg or not near a radio, you ask? The new UMFM website's online streaming player is pretty awesome if you want to listen online. If you're using an Apple device, the player doesn't seem to like Safari yet, but we highly recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store or perhaps another browser. If you do use the TuneIn app, you won't be disappointed. It's a solid app.

If you're looking for great hockey action to listen to all weekend long, hit the 2020 Female World Sport School Challenge website and click on the UMFM logo! I'll be calling all the games featured on the Canadian Tire rink, including the gold medal game, throughout the weekend! Tweet at me if you're listening!

If you have questions, you can email all show queries and comments to hockeyshow@umfm.com! Tweet me anytime with questions you may have by hitting me up at @TeebzHBIC on Twitter! I'm here to listen to you, so make your voice heard!

Tonight, Teebz talks with Larry Bumstead - and possibly others? - about growth of a tournament, growth of his team, the results of that growth in seeing so many of his players move to post-secondary hockey careers, the growth of women's hockey in Manitoba, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
