The Hockey Show - Episode 452

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, comes at you with a bit of twist tonight as Jenna and Teebz celebrate "Girl Power" with a ton of stories from women's hockey and about women in hockey. If you haven't been keeping up with those stories, you should probably look around a little as women are breaking down walls and smashing through ceilings when it comes to getting into the NHL's old boys' club, and it's a great thing to see all these women finally getting a shot. It's a "Girl Power" episode that features no COVID stories, so let's have some fun!

Tonight, Teebz and Jenna run down all the latest stories from the hockey world with a large number that feature women in prominent place in hockey! They discuss Leah Hextall being hired by ESPN to call NHL games next season, the hiring of Danielle Goyette and the promotion of Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser by the Toronto Maple Leafs, the hiring of former US Olympian Meghan Duggan by the New Jersey Devils, having Sarah Nurse, Hanna Bunton, and Brigette Lacquette on the cover of Elle magazine, a team wanting into the Russian women's professional hockey league, and why newly-retired Kacey Bellamy has a solid case for a Hockey Hall of Fame induction! After all those girl-powered stories, they talk about Eugene Melnyk trying to create his own version of Gilligan's Island, Dale Hawerchuk being honoured by the city of Barrie, the Montreal Canadiens playing in front of fans, and the QMJHL retiring Guy Lafleur's number. It's a busy show with a ton of information that should inspire women to follow their dreams as Jenna and Teebz discuss everything "Girl Power", 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!

We're still looking to help St. Adolphe so they can bring hockey back in October. The St. Adolphe Community Club has started a crowdfunding effort on Amilia to help raise some money. The cool part is that if you donate $50 or more, not only are you helping St. Adolphe reach their goal so they can make repairs, upgrades, and improvements, but you'll also receive a tax receipt as well! Make sure you check out their website, their Facebook page, and follow both the St. Adolphe Twitter account and Instagram account for all the lastest news on their fundraising efforts and the repairs to the rink!

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, Jenna and Teebz talk about the women taking over the broadcast booths, the women in charge of the next wave of stars for NHL teams, the women making a statement in major publications, a woman who made a statement with her career, the insane Eugene-Melnyk-at-sea story, Ducky being honoured, the Habs and their rabid fans, why retiring numbers needs to stop, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
