The Hockey Show - Episode 469

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with Teebz and Jason going through a number of stories that likely didn't catch your attention, but certainly deserve closer looks. Having worked from home for so long, I didn't even notice that this is show #1 of Season 10 at this point, but we'll celebrate that achievement once we're back in the studio on campus at the University of Manitoba. Until that time, let's dig into the hockey stuff because there are a few things to go over!

Teebz and Jason kick off the show with a quick remembrance of Norm MacDonald and his love of hockey and a birthday shout-out for Bisons women's hockey head coach Jon Rempel! With regards to the news, the co-hosts pick apart the craziness of Sylvain Lefebvre's decision to end his coaching stint with the Blue Jackets over his refusal to get vaccination. They try to justify the Arizona Coyotes hiring John Ferguson Jr. as their assistant general manager. They celebrate the IIHF creating a new tournament for four new women's national teams and discuss how this makes the women's game better. They point out why Jake Linhart's headline wasn't the actual story behind his decision to sign with Iowa that was celebrated by the media. They have an update on Robert Morris University's attempt to re-establish NCAA hockey. They write-off Jake Virtanen in the KHL. They welcome a new voice to Canada West women's hockey. And Teebz reminds everyone of the requirements for attending Bisons games this season as the doors are open for fans to come and watch preseason games! It's another busy show with as Teebz and Jason work through these stories, 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 Jason pay their respects to Norm MacDonald and Jon Rempel, question a questionable decision, try to justify a weird hiring, discuss the growth of the game, explain why Jake Linhart's story is so much bigger than "first", dive into more RMU news, are excited to meet a new broadcast colleague, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
