The Hockey Show - Episode 443

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is out and about throughout the Canadian countryside again as Teebz and Jenna venture to meet players from another team who were scheduled to chat with us before the pandemic broke and everything hockey was shut down. One of the best parts of the radio show is getting to meet some of these amazing players before they move onto bigger and better, so it's an honour for us to sit down with two amazing players from the Winnipeg Avros program tonight!

Tonight, we have the honour and pleasure in meeting teammates and defensive partners Kyleigh Johnson and Maggie Mitani who anchor the Avros' blue line! These two have one year left before they're likely off to post-secondary institutions due to their stellar play, and we'll chat with them tonight about playing against one another growing up, finding chemistry on the Avros' blue line, their accolades, their achievements, the attachment to their numbers, and more! Beyond that, we talk about the Jets against Montreal and their rather dismal efforts, who the ladies would trade for if they were Chevy, the announcements of the officials for the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship in Halifax and Truro, Hayley Wickenheiser being inducted into the Canada West Hall of Fame, Ashton Bell's big goal for UMD in the NCAA Frozen Four tournament, Kenzie Lalonde making history in the QMJHL, the FISU 2021 Universiade happening despite a number of issues standing in its way, Ontario pushing for AAA girls hockey where Maggie shows her knowledge on the game, the SDHL postponing their championship final due to COVID-19, and more! We go over a lot of stuff so make sure you tune in on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com at 5:30pm CT to meet these amazing young women!

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 or Google Play 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 meet Maggie Mitani and Kyleigh Johnson of the Winnipeg Avros as we discuss wins, losses, stats, missing hockey, returning to hockey, bad defence, good goals, big moments, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
