The Hockey Show - Episode 434

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns tonight to celebrate and denigrate the start of the NHL! As you know, the NHL kicked off its 2020-21 schedule of 56 games last night, and Jenna and I have some thoughts on the craziness leading up to last night in and around the NHL. With one team delaying the start of the season, you know we aren't very happy when it comes to the NHL's safety practices already. We get into that and whole lot more tonight on The Hockey Show!

The NHL kicked off its shortened season, and Teebz and Jenna get into everything that's happening surrounding the start of the NHL's 2020-21 campaign! They wrap-up the IIHF World Junior Championship, they chat about the COVID-19 problems already seen in the NHL, and they dissect the conference call Gary Bettman had with the media and explain why the NHL is pushing forward with this season despite "losing billions". There are a few shout-outs on the show to people in hockey, a segment all about Evander Kane's financial matters, a fun laugh about travel in the NHL with respect to the age of players, and they close the show with some ECHL news! All of this happens tonight at 5:30pm CT, so make sure you tune in on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

Where's the best place can you hear tonight's 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, so if you want to stream the show I'd recommend Radio Garden to do that as it works nicely with Safari. If you're more of an app person, we recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store. 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 and Jenna break down the World Junior Championship, deconstruct the problems with the NHL's COVID problem in training camps, dissect the Gary Bettman rhetoric, scrutinze Evander Kane's spending, sort out some ECHL news, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
