The Hockey Show - Episode 436

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back with a show on a big day when it comes to mental health initiatives and charities across Canada as it's #BellLetsTalk day across this great country where media conglomerate Bell Telecommunications donates money to those initiatives and charities for every tweet, Facebook, post, Instagram moment, and a myriad of other social media activities where they are tagged. If there's one day to take to social media, this would be it so get on your favorite social media platform and contribute! Details are below on how to do that!

Teebz and Jenna kick off the show by talking about #BellLetsTalk and how to participate along with the University of British Columbia's and Mikayla Ogrodniczuk's work in mental health initiatives and charities before digging into the Patrik Laine trade that fetched Pierre-Luc Dubois from Columbus, the asset management of the Jets, and the Jets finding a new first line through this trade and Teebz proposes a fun nickname for that line. Other stories Teebz and Jenna discuss include the Jets record while Paul Maurice squints, San Jose opting to go with new merchandise provider, Washington introducing a rather underwhelming alternate jersey, Teebz goes on a rant about how Canadian media are clamouring to chat to anyone and everyone associated with the current two-week pro women's hockey tournament yet ignored the CWHL and are ignoring U SPORTS in their own backyards, the ECHL adds another team to its membership, and the Return to Play plans for both Alberta and Manitoba. Lots of topics on tonight's show as Teebz and Jenna dive into the stories at 5:30pm CT, so make sure you tune in on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

In terms of #BellLetsTalk Day, Bell donates five cents to Canadian mental health programs for every applicable text, local or long distance call on their network; tweet or TikTok video using #BellLetsTalk; every Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube view of the Bell Let's Talk Day video; and, every use of the Bell Let's Talk Facebook frame or Snapchat filter. To join the fun, there is no cost to participants beyond what they would normally pay their service provider for online or phone access. Get texting, talking, and socializing via one of the social media platforms!

Where's the best place can you hear tonight's 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, so if you want to stream the show I'd recommend Radio Garden to do that as it works nicely with Safari. If you're more of an app person, we recommend you use the TuneIn app found on the App Store. 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 Jenna promote #BellLetsTalk before they offer their throughts on the biggest trade in Jets 2.0 history, the Jets finding success, the Jets' record while Paul Maurice can't see, San Jose getting a new gear provider, Washington getting new gear, Canadian media being generally awful at promoting Canadian hockey, the ECHL expanding, provincial regulations keeping things closed, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
