The Hockey Show: Episode 353

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns to airwaves and internet streams all over this floating rock in space with a very special guest tonight. It's not often that we can get Olympians and all-time greats into the studio as most players are spending their summers outside of Winnipeg. This Olympian will be doing that soon, but she's always welcome back with open arms and tonight is one of those moments! We've had her on the program before, but we're excited to catch up with her after graduating one year ago tonight on the program!

Tonight, Beans and I are thrilled, honoured, privileged, humbled, and proud to welcome back one of the women who led the University of Manitoba Bisons to the U SPORTS National Championship in 2018 in Finnish Olympian and the all-around amazing Venla Hovi! The last time most saw her in these parts, she was named as the Female Athlete of the Year in 2018. Since then, she was drafted into the CWHL, played pro hockey with and against a pile of Olympians, won a Clarkson Cup, coached a few teams, won a IIHF Women's World Championship, lost a IIHF Women's World Championship, retired from international play, and still lived a fairly exciting life outside all this stuff! This is why we want to talk to her, and we'll talk to her tonight about everything she's been doing! 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 sit down with one of the most decorated Finns to ever call this city (second-)home as we welcome former Bisons legend, former Calgary Inferno player, and Olympian Venla Hovi to the show where we'll talk about graduating, being drafted, playing pro, winning (and losing) the world championship, coaching, and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!
