The Hockey Show - Episode 666

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back on the UMFM airwaves tonight to get things wrapped up with the 2024-25 season officially in the books for all North American teams. If it felt like a long season, no one will disagree with you, but that may get worse as you'll hear tonight in one of the stories. And before anyone loses their minds over the episode number at the top of this article, it's just a number. In fact, the number is considered to be lucky in China and it's a pretty special number in mathematics. While it has a noted use in popular culture, let's put the focus on the hockey stories and news that we're going to discuss tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT!

As stated above, the season has finally come to an end, so Teebz and Jason will wrap up the 2025 edition of Survivor: NHL Playoffs by having Jared and Will give us their exit interviews. After that, the hosts will discuss the Abborsford Canucks' win over the Charlotte Checkers in the Calder Cup Final, some of the NHL trades leading up to tomorrow night's NHL Entry Draft, Jonathan Toews choosing the Jets, the Jets paying him like he's 25, the 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame class, news that the NHL season could get longer, the newest ECHL team has narrowed down its team name choices, the PWHL Draft underwhelmingly happened, some AIHL news, and Canada West released its hockey schedules for the men and women! As always, it's another busy show filled with news, information, analysis, some laughs, and more as we move into summer tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

If you live outside Winnipeg and want to listen, we have options! The UMFM website's streaming player works well if you want to listen online. We also recommend Radio Garden if you need an easy-to-use online stream. If you're more of an app person, we recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store or Google Play Store. 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! And because both Teebz and Jason are on the butterfly app where things are less noisy, you can find Teebz here and Jason here on Bluesky!

Tonight, Teebz and Jason send off our final two Survivor entrants before chatting about big wins, player moves, new inductees, longer seasons, interesting names, bad television, rough months, looking forward, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
