The Hockey Show - Episode 351

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, will break that rule tonight and talk about a number of sports and entertainment things because our Summer of Interviews 2019 starts tonight with a very special guest. As you know, we like to open up the show in the summer and bring on guests who have all sorts of backgrounds, and tonight Beans and I are proud to feature a man whose work both Beans and I admire on the radio, on television, and in print. He's been in the broadcasting business for a while, but has also dabbled in some book writing alongside some key hockey people. To be able to have him on The Hockey Show tonight talking about his career, his new project, and more is an absolute honour for us!

Tonight, The Hockey Show is proud, humbled, privileged, and honoured to welcome a man whose legacy in the sports media world is filled with adventures and stories, and we're happy to bring some of them to light as we welcome radio personality, author, and former Sportsnet anchor Jim Lang to the show! Jim's been in the radio business for years and is currently hosting The Jim Lang Show, a morning radio show on 105.9 The Region. You likely know him for his time with Rogers Sportsnet, but he's been doing some writing! Jim co-wrote Bleeding Blue with Wendel Clark, Shift Work with Tie Domi, and Everyday Hockey Heroes with Bob Mackenzie. We'll talk to him tonight about these books and his new book co-authored with former NHL star defenceman Bryan Berard entitled Relentless. We'll also get the skinny on Jim's life, career, his unapologetic love of the Raiders, his passion for wrestling, what a Raptors win tonight will mean to him and Toronto, his thoughts on the Blues winning the Stanley Cup, and anything else we can squeeze into the hour! We're excited to meet Jim, so make sure you join us at 5:30pm CT on 101.5 UMFM!

Speaking of joining us, the new UMFM website's online streaming player is pretty awesome if you want to listen online. If you're using an Apple device, the player doesn't seem to like Safari yet, but we highly recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store or perhaps another browser. If you do use the TuneIn app, you won't be disappointed. It's a solid app.

Having lost faith in Facebook, I spend far less time on that site for good reasons. In saying that, you can still 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 welcome media personality Jim Lang to the show as we talk to him about his time in the public eye, his work, his love of wrasslin', the Raiders, his work as an author, his new book Relentless, and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!
