The Hockey Show - Episode 464

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight as Teebz and Jenna have a lot to go over with zero NHL news! Between all the TV coverage of hockey's off-season and the social media bombardment people receive, you don't need us weighing in on who signed where and for how much money. Instead, our illustrious hosts will take you through the stories not making the bigger headlines that probably need a little more push because of the underlying messages or stories within the reporting. We have a number of stories like that tonight, so let's get to this!

While we may not be an elementary school newspaper, we do have some news stories to go over tonight. Teebz and Jenna dive in on the story of a 12 year-old girl in Saskatchewan who was "permanently released" by her minor hockey association and how this rather insane decision came to be. They talk about investing in women's sports following an incredible successful Tokyo Olympics, and how people in Canada can do that at the university level. There's chatter about a pre-Olympic qualification tournament that was cancelled due to COVID and the fallout from that decision. Evander Kane's rather crazy situation gets discussed by the hosts as they work through all the angles. The Canadian Women's National Team was named, and Teebz and Jenna focus on the Manitobans who will represent the nation before discussing the retirement of a long-time goalie coach who had some ties to university hockey, and they mention a huge opportunity for someone who may be listening and thinking, "I can do what they do"! It's another busy show with a special mention for Jenna at the end, so make sure you tune in at 5:30pm CT on 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

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 talk stupid decisions, raising the bar, missing the tournament, completely messing up one's own life, making the cut, riding off into the sunset, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
