The Hockey Show - Episode 470

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with a promised follow-up show as Teebz sits down with Bisons women's hockey head coach Jon Rempel to talk about everything that's gone on in Bisons camp as we sit 22 days from opening night on October 15. There are lots of updates to report, so this chat will be informative for all who listen and have an interest in Bisons women's hockey and Canada West women's hockey. There's lots that Jon breaks down, so let's see what was discussed!

Head coach Jon Rempel sits down with Teebz to provide updates on training camp and preseason games in terms of how he's viewed both the progress of the team and the results in preseason games. They discuss the absent Polina Goncharova, his views on the three games the Bisons played against the Team Manitoba U18 squad, whether or not he sees the skill gap between prep and U18 hockey closing between his team and those teams, his takeaways in the two games against the Regina Cougars this past weekend, the addition of a transfer student, how the Bisons will travel when it comes to the COVID-19 situations in Alberta and Saskatchewan, the announcement of the U SPORTS-CBC deal and the impact it may have, what Jon will stress as important moving forward, how he may handle the bye weeks, preparation for the other eight Canada West teams, injuries and how they impact his lineup, what will make this season successful by Jon's measures, breaking "bad habits", some of the things we'll see within the Bisons' systems this season, players accepting roles, having foreign players settle into university life in Winnipeg, and the excitement for this season. It's a very candid and very informative show about how Bisons women's hockey is preparing for the season, 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.

Tonight, Teebz sits down with Jon Rempel, Bisons women's hockey head coach, for the final chat of the preseason as they chat about preseason games, some new twists to the Canada West season, making and setting a lineup with injuries and players who are showing up in camp, changes to his systems, his excitement for this season, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
