The Hockey Show - Episode 396

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with a non-interview show! After the last few weeks with some amazing guests, we need to go over some of the stories that happened in the hockey world as Jason Pchajek and I sort through some of the bigger hockey stories lately. If you know anything about Jason and I, it's that we're big U SPORTS and Canada West hockey guys, so you can imagine on which topic we'll spend most of time this week.

After everything that has been said and done over the last couple of days regarding the University of Lethbridge, the image to the left seems appropriate when it comes to the men's and women's hockey programs at the school. With that being said, Jason and I discuss how and why this decision was made and who may be to blame for this mess. For those of you who read the article that I wrote a couple of days ago on the matter, we pick through that and try to make sense of how this all came about. We also chat about the inevitable conclusion of the Winnipeg Jets-Dustin Byfuglien saga and what it means to each of us, Bill Peters being hired in the KHL despite him needing to still make amends, and we try to figure out why the NHL would want to hold a draft before declaring an end of the season. On a more personal note, Jason also updates us on what's next for him after his time with The Manitoban newspaper came to an end! It's another big show, so make sure you tune in tonight at 5:30pm CT on 101.5 FM and UMFM.com!

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 and Jason try to figure out how and why the Pronghorns no longer exist, how much Dustin Byfuglien meant to the Jets and the city of Winnipeg, how Bill Peters was hired in the KHL, and how the NHL can possibly draft players with a season hanging in the balance exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
