The Hockey Show - Episode 439

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, puts the band back together as Jenna makes her triumphant return to the program after writing exams, and she has one exam result already that we'll discuss! It was a pretty newsworthy week in the hockey world with a big COVID-19 report from ESPN, the Arizona Coyotes being dissected by Katie Strang of The Athletic, and a pile of other stories that were filed. Teebz and Jenna jump into these, so let's get this going!

It's a busy show tonight as Teebz welcomes back Jenna and we get Jenna's exam results - SPOILER: she's smart - before the duo discuss the ESPN COVID-19 report in depth with respect to dates and player reactions. They transition to the Katie Strang report about the Arizona Coyotes that raises a ton of questions about how business is being done in the desert. There are PHWPA updates and SDHL updates on the women's hockey scene that include some include some incredible stats by former U SPORTS players. They talk about the San Jose Sharks FINancial campaign, the Toronto Maple Leafs and their epic collapse, Alex Galchenyuk playing for his 263rd team in the last 18 months, a rather terrible moment of history for the Buffalo Sabres, a few recruiting notes as the Manitoba Bisons get strong, and a homecoming for a former Manitoba Bisons forward. As stated above, it's a big show with lots of topics, so tune in on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com at 5:30pm CT!

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 talk pandemics and players, economics and threats, women and achievements, money and GMs, losses and futility, homecomings and new homes, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
