The Hockey Show - Episode 392

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, hasn't let a little thing like the shutdown of the radio station slow our roll. Over the next few weeks while the University of Manitoba restricts access to all building to only vitally-important employees - aka not radio hosts - I'll be doing a ton of interviews with people you should get to know in the hockey world. Last week, we were lucky enough to speak with Rochard Marzi, the creator of Wally the Whaler, and this week will see me speak with another amazing individual whose career has been rather amazing.

Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia is probably best known as the hometown of two of the NHL's biggest stars in Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. They may want to make some room for another scoring sensation from that maritime town, though, as we'll meet Alberta Pandas scoring dynamo Autumn MacDougall! Autumn has been one of Canada West's most consistent scorers, winning the scoring title this year while being named as Alberta's team MVP in 2017. I sit down with her to talk about growing up in Nova Scotia, wearing the provincial jersey with pride, moving away for high school and additional hockey opportunities at the Canadian International Hockey Academy, moving even farther away when she joined the Pandas, and all of her accomplishments with the Edmonton-based institution! I really enjoyed talking with Autumn and learning about her life and career, so I hope you'll join me tonight at 5:30pm CT on UMFM for this talk!

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 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 goes one-on-one with one of the best scorers in Canada West history as he talks to Alberta's Autumn MacDougall about growing up, moving away, finding her place, establishing one heckuva career in Canada West hockey, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
