The Hockey Show - Episode 576

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with a big show as our hosts welcome an incredible guest! As you know if you've been listening to the show, The Hockey Show has been trying to expose more people to all forms of hockey, and one of those paths we've been following is sledge hockey or para hockey. It's a sport that's starting to get more recognition from hockey's governing bodies across the world, but we've tried to show everyone that anyone can play. Tonight, we have a guest who is playing the game at its highest levels, and she's accomplished an incredible amount of success in her life!

Teebz and Jason, on behalf of The Hockey Show, are proud, honoured, privileged, humbled, and pleased to welcome Canadian National Women's Para Hockey Team alternate captain and defender Claire Buchanan to the program tonight! Claire's been all over the map thanks to her success as a two-sport athlete, and we'll get into all of that tonight when we speak to her! Among the various topics will be a chat about her growing up and finding sledge hockey, moving away for college sports, finding her way back into para hockey, winning medals, the growth of the game, the struggles seen with Hockey Canada, and we'll cap it off with some fun questions that Claire can laugh at, answer, or both! It should be a blast getting to know Claire Buchanan tonight, and we'll have her on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!

If you live outside Winnipeg and want to listen, we have options! The new UMFM website's online streaming player is pretty awesome if you want to listen online. We also recommend Radio Garden if you need an easy-to-use online stream. 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 use the TuneIn app, you won't be disappointed. It's a solid app.
