The Hockey Show - Episode 675

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with a special show as we welcome in a guest whose new book is a fantastic read! Normally, we don't find too many authors who have written about women's hockey, but tonight's guest not only wrote about them, but followed a team through a season to document the highs and lows that the team and some of the players experienced! It will be a great chat as we hear about about this author's work writing the book and following the team and league on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT!

Tonight, Teebz and Jason are honoured and privileged to welcome Miss Karissa Donkin to the show to discuss her new book Breakaway: The PWHL and the Women Who Changed the Game, published by Goose Lane Editions. Karissa spent a year following the Montreal Victoire, so a number of chapters have exclusive looks at the situations the team faced and interviews with players from the Victoire. She also includes some women's hockey history in the book, the key information on how the PWHL came to be, and she looks at some of the funnier moments like the PWHL's first meme and how it is still a main theme in the league. In short, Breakaway: The PWHL and the Women Who Changed the Game was a fantastic read and we'll get you set for its release on September 23 as we chat with author Karissa Donkin tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!
