The Hockey Show - Episode 393

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is still working under lock-down conditions this week as the radio station and the University of Manitoba continue to enforce social and physical distancing during these uncertain times. As I said last week when we spoke with Autumn MacDougall, the interviews will continue for as long as needed because of this, and I'm happy to be able to talk to some great people. Tonight's guest is one of those great people in hockey, and we'll learn all about her amazing career and accomplishments!

And if I'm being totally honest, after learning about her in doing the research on her career, we should have had this woman on the program a long, long time ago. But let's correct that tonight!

Tonight, I sit down with the woman pictured to the left as we meet Grant MacEwan Griffins women's hockey head coach Lindsay McAlpine! As you may have heard on this very program, MacEwan will be joining Canada West hockey next year after they were accepted in by a vote last summer, and they'll begin play this September assuming everything gets back to normal by then. Tonight, we'll meet Lindsay, hear about her incredible accomplishments as a player while suiting up for the Alberta Pandas, finding her stride as a coach, winning an IIHF World Championship gold medal, playing a little pro hockey, and turning the Griffins into the powerhouse ACAC team they are with aspirations of continuing that success as they write their own Canada West history in 2020. Tune in tonight because Lindsay's interview covers a lot from a woman who has done and accomplished a lot in her young life thus far! That all happens tonight on 101.5 UMFM and UMFM.com at 5:30pm CT!

Before I post the media stuff, yes, the interview sounds a little echo-y at times, and I'm working to solve my microphone situation at home. Don't kill me for it. As you know, The Hockey Show is committed to doing the show live every week, so I'll figure out this microphone situation this weekend.

Where's the best place can you hear the show if you're outside Winnipeg or not near a radio, you ask? 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.

If you have questions, you can email all show queries and comments to hockeyshow@umfm.com! Tweet me anytime with questions you may have by hitting me up at @TeebzHBIC on Twitter! I'm here to listen to you, so make your voice heard!

Tonight, Teebz goes one-on-one with Griffins head coach Lindsay McAlpine as we meet a woman who has done just about everything in U SPORTS hockey, has won at the international level, has coached all over the world, will get a chance to write some more history into the Canada West record books as had coach, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
