The Hockey Show - Episode 484

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, had a show all planned out that had inspirational moments, highlights from the last year of hockey, and all sorts of fun, but everything changed in a hurry on Wednesday with the announcement from the IIHF that the World Junior Hockey Championship was being cancelled as COVID outbreaks were being seen on three teams and among officials. Needless to say, it's another look at COVID-19, the world of hockey, and everything else being affected by COVID on the final episode of The Hockey Show in 2021!

With Jenna back in Winnipeg, she returns to the show tonight as we chat about a subject that is eerily the same as how we ended 2020. The IIHF and Hockey Canada shook the hockey world to its core by announcing that the World Junior Hockey Championships were being cancelled after positive COVID tests were returned to the US, Russia, and Czechia, so Teebz and Jenna have a lot of questions surrounding this development. They also discuss a possible cancellation of the Olympics, possible Canada West cancellations, the questionable OHL reinstatement of Logan Mailloux, the Calgary Flames' owners cancelling their new arena, we get Jenna's thoughts on Paul Maurice leaving the Jets, we get more of Jenna's thoughts on the Winter Classic as she's had some experience playing in an outdoor game, and we end the show with some Happy New Year wishes for everyone. After having to shifted the entire show's focus quickly after all the breaking news, settle in as we try to make sense of everything 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 sort through the wreckage of the World Junior Championships, possible future cancellations based on current evidence, the OHL's questionable decision, the Flames' questionable decision, Jenna's thoughts on Maurice and outdoor games, and we leave 2021 wishing you, our listeners, a Happy New Year as we move into 2022, so make sure you tune in tonight exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!
