The Hockey Show - Episode 500

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, returns to the UMFM studios for a milestone show tonight as we broadcast the 500th show in history! We're very excited to have made it this far without being booted off the air or from the station, and we're glad that you could join us for this amazing achievement! Normally, special events call for celebrations, so we're going to do that tonight as well by offering up one of the best contests this show has ever devised as well! Make sure you're near the radio or an internet-connected device tonight because things are going to move fast starting at 5:30pm CT!

Teebz and Jenna invite you, listeners of The Hockey Show, to enter our Survivor: NHL Playoffs contest tonight! After being away from the studio for two years, we return tonight to resurrect one of our favourite things we do as sixteen radio listeners will call in and be entered into the Survivor pool! For those that may have missed it, the full contest details are here, so click on that link and get reading so you can be ready to call in tonight and enter. The phone number to reach us, if you want to be part of this fun and goofy contest, is (204) 269-8636, and the phone lines will be open after we explain the contest on the air. Prizes will be won, laughs will be had, hockey will be watched, and radio chatter will happen throughout this contest, so make sure you have your radio and phone at your fingertips at 5:30pm CT so you can hear and call into The Hockey Show on 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

If you live outside Winnipeg and want to participate, have no fear! The new UMFM website's online streaming player is pretty awesome if you want to listen online so you cnn call in for the contest as well. 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 get sixteen people set up for the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Survivor: NHL Playoffs as we take your calls and see which teams are randomly chosen exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!

PODCAST: April 21, 2022: Episode 500

Congrats on the 500th show!!

Is there any news about the AHL's relocating franchises / which city is in endangered of losing their AHL team for 22 - 23 or soon after?

Thanks, Anon!

As for now, the only change that will be made is the addition of the Coachella Valley Firebirds who join the Pacific Division as Seattle's primary affiliate. Beyond that, nothing else has been announced as of yet. There were concerns about the health of a few franchises, but no moves have been announced as far as I've heard or read.
