The Hockey Show - Episode 323

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is out on the road tonight! As one of the prizes that we had offered in our Pledge-O-Rama campaign, we made a commitment to visit an arena of a donor's choice to promote his or her team like we're die-hard fans. We're out doing that tonight as Beans and I visit a high school hockey game to be the homers for one of the two teams. This is our first adventure into the high school hockey world, so who knows how badly this show could go off the rails with how little information there is about high school hockey in this province. Nonetheless, Beans and I will do out best to sound intelligent as we visit Keith Bodley Arena to cheer on the Sanford Sabres as they battle the Sturgeon Heights Huskies thanks to Richard's generous donation during Pledge-O-Rama!

Sanford Collegiate is a high school located in Sanford, Manitoba that provides education for kids in Grades 9 to 12. After winning Division 2 in the Winnipeg High School Hockey League last season, the Sabres were promoted to Division 1 where they're finding out that the big schools don't play very nice with the new kids. As it stands, Sanford currently sits at 2-8 and is near the bottom of the Division 1 standings, but the kids are finding ways to stay in games and pick up a few wins! Beans and I will sit down with a few players and/or coaches from the squad tonight after they get off the ice as we talk to them about their season and an upcoming tournament in Brandon. We may also have a special guest stopping by for a quick chat, so make sure you tune in as we tour Keith Bodley Arena to tell you who suited up there as a kid as they chased their dreams before some of Sanford's best players sit down and talk of their own dreams!

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 visit Keith Bodley Arena in support of the Sanford Collegiate Sabres as we talk about high school hockey, life in Sanford, and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!
