The Hockey Show - Episode 483

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back on the observed date of Festivus with a show I've been dying to do for nearly two years. As you may recall, there was no Canada West season last year, so the number of rookies playing in the conference right now is staggering. Tonight, we'll cross two names of the "people we need to meet" list as we meet two of the Bisons who are playing their first years of hockey in Canada West!

On the program this evening, we meet two extremely talented women who play for the Manitoba Bisons women's hockey team as Teebz sits down with Kylie Lesuk and Julia Bird for their first UMFM interviews! Kylie, formerly of the Eastman Selects in the MFHL, and Julia, formerly of the Winnipeg Ice in the MFHL, are both in their first years of eligibility with the Bisons, so it's an unofficial "Rookie Show"! How long has it been since we did one of these show? "Far too long" is the correct answer if you ask me.

Tonight, We learn about growing up in their respective households, how they got started in hockey, their younger hockey careers, Julia being a bit of a TV star, and more! We also discuss their first seasons in Canada West hockey, things seen and heard around Wayne Fleming Arena regarding the Bisons, whether or not they're worried about a premature end to the season, and a lot more regarding their first three months of Canada West hockey. These two women are among the best in Canada West and are proving to be among the brightest in the classroom, so make sure you tune in at 5:30pm CT on 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com as we meet Kylie Lesuk and Julia Bird from the Manitoba Bisons!

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 Kylie Lesuk and Julia Bird of the Manitoba Bisons to discuss their first years in university, growing up, wearing numbers, which team has been their toughest opponent thus far, Julia being a TV star, Kylie wearing stripes, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
