The Hockey Show - Episode 471

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is humbly displayed in orange today as we reflect on and honour the first-ever National Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. After all the devastation discovered over the last few years that has deeply and profoundly affected our Indigenous population in Canada, The Hockey Show and UMFM respectfully stand as allies for our Indigenous friends and colleagues who are still grieving the atrocities and losses suffered, and we acknowledge these harms that were done to our proud Indigenous friends and commit to not only honouring this day to its fullest, but to continue to be an ally of Indigenous communities and peoples throughout the rest of the year as well. As a sign of respect for our friends, the banner today is in orange and there will be a Treaty One recognition statement made to start the show.

It is with great honour that Teebz welcomes back a former Bisons women's hockey player who is doing amazing things in her professional career in MoDo's Erica Rieder! Erica is back for a third season with the Swedish-based club, and we'll catch up with her on living in Sweden, playing for MoDo, how the opportunity came about for her to join the Swedish team, moving to Europe, her professional career, reunions with other former Canada West players, COVID-19 and how it affected MoDo, the 100th anniversary of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, and a unique food item that Erica has grown to love since being in Sweden! There are career highlight moments, a discussion about a brawl, conversation about playing against Olympians, and more 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 sits down with former Bisons defender and current MoDo star Erica Rieder to discuss life, hockey, moving, roommates, speaking Swedish, the current season, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
