The Hockey Show - Episode 357

The Hockey Show, Canada' only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is out on the road today as Teebz visits Gateway Arena where the 2019 edition of the Sami Jo Small Hockey School is being held! For those that haven't attended one of Sami Jo's week-long camps, this is a fun, educational, and engaging camp where female hockey players of all ages and skill levels get to learn from some of the best people and coaches in the game! Not only do the young ladies learn from some of the best, but there are off-ice components, a sledge hockey afternoon, and scrimmages within their age groups and skill levels! It's a great camp, and I highly recommend checking it out if you can!

Today, we're lucky enough to sit down with three incredible women who have amazing careers in hockey and are doing exceptional things off it! In the first half of the show, we meet Alex, seen on the right, and Paige McArthur, on the left, who hail from McDonald, Manitoba. The twins played with the Pursuit of Excellence program in Kelowna before returning home to suit up with Central Plains Capitals of the MFMHL last season. Next season, Alex is off to the AUS with Dalhousie University while Paige heads south to Worcester, Massachusetts with the NCAA's College of the Holy Cross! I talk to Alex first and then to Paige as we hear about their blossoming hockey careers!

In the second-half of of the show, I talk with Clarkson Cup champion and long-time hockey icon Jenelle Kohanchuk about her career, her retirement from hockey, what she's up to now, and what her future holds. It's an interesting conversation with one of the best Manitoba-born players to ever don the skates, and she tells us whether or not there may be a return to the ice for her if and when the new women's professional league gets off the ground! It's another jam-packed show tonight, so make sure you join us at 5:30pm CT!

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 sits down with Alex McArthur, Paige McArthur, and Jenelle Kohanchuk to discuss their careers, their futures, hockey, life and much more only on The Hockey Show found exclusively on 101.5 UMFM, on the UMFM app, on the UMFM.com web stream!
