The Hockey Show - Episode 318

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns to its normal programming now that Pledge-O-Rama is over, the goal was smashed once again, and everyone is riding high. I want to personally say thank you to everyone who supported our show's efforts, and I want to thank every single donor who made this year's Pledge-O-Rama a resounding success. As stated, we have some projects that we want to accomplish, and the financial support shown by our listeners is once again awe-inspiring. If there is an MVP award to be handed out for Pledge-O-Rama, my vote would go to the listeners!

We have some prizes to hand out now that Pledge-O-Rama has finished, and we'll go through those early on in the show to get that wrapped up. Of course, the Jets battled the Maple Leafs last night, and we need to ask if the Jets are pretenders or contenders based on their early play. The Bisons men's and women's hockey teams have been battling, and we'll queue up those games this weekend including a special game on Saturday where fans attending can win prizes! We also saw the first professional points scored by a former Bisons player, Crosby and McDavid went head to head, Jordin Tootoo retired from hockey, and much more as Beans and I settle back into doing what we do best. Or worst.

You might be wondering where the blurb about the UMFM app has gone. I'm going on record to say you can still use it, but the new UMFM website will fill the needs of our listeners because the new online streaming player is pretty awesome. If you're using an Apple device, the player doesn't seem to like Safari, but we highly recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store. The UMFM app will currently work for you, but there's some work being done to realign it with UMFM's new website, so it may go silent soon. If it does, TuneIn. It's a solid app.

I'm changing up the social media portion as well. I'm losing faith in Facebook, so that option will slowly be allowed to drift off into the horizon. However, the other options still work! Email all show questions and comments to hockeyshow@umfm.com! Tweet me anytime with questions you may have by hitting me up at @TeebzHBIC on Twitter! We're here to listen to you, so make your voice heard!

Tonight, Teebz and Beans talk Jets, Bisons, Inferno, Oilers and Penguins, Jordin Tootoo, and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!

PODCAST: October 25, 2018: Episode 318
