The Hockey Show - Episode 695

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back at the cozy confines of the UMFM studios tonight where our hosts will be ready to welcome in a guest who is looking to run the table next week with his team in an effort to win a gold medal! The 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge is happening from January 22-25 at the Hockey For All Centre in west Winnipeg, and the Balmoral Hall Blazers are hosting the event this year as it's going to a smaller, all-Manitoba format in their first year of hosting. As such, there will be bragging rights on the line for all nine teams at the event, and we'll hear if the host team's coach is ready for the challenge tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT!

Tonight, Teebz and Jason welcome Balmoral Hall Blazers interim head coach Aaron Kaatz to the show! Aaron has been coaching in Manitoba at a high level for a number of years despite his youthful appearance, so we'll find out how he got into coaching, hear about some of his experiences, discuss the age-old boys-vs-girls question when it comes to coaching, and get the necessary information about Balmoral Hall's chances next week and into the CSSHL playoffs as we have some fun getting to know Aaron tonight! I'm sure he's going to have some good insight into the tournament as well, so we'll get all of that info out of him and more tonight 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 UMFM website's streaming player works well 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 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! And because both Teebz and Jason are on the butterfly app where things are less noisy, you can find Teebz here and Jason here on Bluesky!

Tonight, Teebz and Jason chat with Balmoral Hall Blazers head coach Aaron Kaatz about getting into coaching, getting the most out of players, winning games, battling hard, learning on the fly, and much more exclusively on 101.5 UMFM and on the UMFM.com web stream!

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
