The Hockey Show - Episode 335

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, welcomes more playoff-bound players to the studio tonight I prepare for another stats-and-laughs set with three amazing athletes. Beans is taking the night off, so you won't hear his sultry voice over the air tonight, but he's back next week again. If you haven't heard, the University of Manitoba Bisons are preparing to host the UBC Thunderbirds this weekend in the Canada West women's hockey semifinals with a berth at the U SPORTS National Championship going to the winner along with a chance to go to the Canada West Final to compete for the 2018-19 banner. Manitoba is, of course, the defending champions of both Canada West and U SPORTS championships, so we're looking for a big crowd this weekend at both games or, if necessary, all three games! Get out to Wayne Fleming Arena and cheer on the Herd!

We're going to try this whole Sparky-in-studio thing again as I welcome Alanna Sharman, Jordy Zacharias, and Alexandra Anderson to the show tonight! Anderson, as you may recall, was MIA last week as we welcomed Lauryn and Karissa on, so we're hopeful she'll find way here this week! If she does, we'll talk to Alanna and Sparky about their impressive careers, talk about Jordy and Alanna finding some chemistry on that line, and the obvious elephant in the room as these women will gear up for UBC tomorrow. On top of that, we'll chat about the other series that features Alberta and Saskatchewan, a major pro-am tournament coming to Winnipeg, all-star selections from the conference, and more! All of that goes down tonight at 5:30pm CT on 101.5 UMFM and UMFM.com!

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 welcomes Alanna Sharman and Jordy Zacharias back to the show while introducing the world to Alex Anderson where these four will discuss UBC, Canada West, all-stars, pro-ams, and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!
