A quick stop in Kitchener before a trade to North Bay. Bert Templeton. The Punch-up in Piestany. A 7-game OHL final versus Oshawa. And all of that before a pro career that saw him play more than 500 NHL games, including a wi…
And then there were four. One of us is crushing this year's playoff predictions, one of us is a little behind. Plus, several OHL'ers stand up to be counted at the U18's, it's London vs The World, and we've got some surprisin…
He played in the Soo. He coached in the Soo. And in between those milestones, he skated in almost 600 NHL games, was one of the longest-serving captains in Minnesota North Stars history, and picked up a couple of gold medals…
Another OHL draft is in the books, a Coach of the Year is named, the West is set, and the East adds some excitement. We're almost down to the final four, which promises some of the best hockey we've seen all season. Learn mo…
He scored one of the biggest goals in Peterborough Petes history. He was a part of, arguably, the best OHL championship ever, a 7-game thriller that ended in overtime. And everywhere he's played -- junior, USports, and pro -…
The deeper into the playoffs we go, the greater the focus on officiating. We have fines! But were they justified? Saginaw has a hill to climb, the Colts and Petes steal home ice, and our Performers of the Week. The OHL Podca…
From his home in the Maritimes to the Ontario Hockey League and the start of a promising hockey career that was only cut short by injury (that didn't stop him from playing against Joe Sakic at the old Colisee, though). If yo…
A first round of predictions that was almost as successful as the 8th seeded Kitchener Rangers were in Round One. Okay, maybe not that successful but, along with our predictions, the Rangers gave us an historic storyline. So…
Second overall into the O. Sixth overall into The Show. And former Sudbury Wolves defenceman Adam Bennett has a boatload of stories from the OHL's Lindros era, the D partner that made him successful, playing in the old Chica…
The first weekend of the playoffs is in the books and we're all clear on the clear surprise so far, right? We talk about that, playoff discipline, a bizarre decision from the Commissioner's office, pay-to-play, the 2024 Memo…
With Brantford coming back to the OHL, we turn this week to a former Alexander. But not just any former Alexander. No, we're turning to the guy whose billet brother was Bob Probert, the guy who jumped from Brantford to the N…
We preview the first round of the playoffs. What, you need more?? Fine, we also talk about a remarkable comeback/collapse, the practice of "resting players," our Prospects of the Week, and the significance of the number 900 …
From Oshawa to the Soo to a pro career that included stops in Nashville, Dallas, and Toronto. And, really, that's only the beginning. If you were to Google Nathan Perrott's name today, he'd be described as "a Canadian profes…
Yup, we talk about fighting. And neither of us is convinced that what we'll hear from the Q this summer will really be a "ban" in the strictest sense of the word. In spirit, though? Well, that's a different story, and you ca…
The Attack weren't always the Attack. The team originally relocated to Grey County as the Platers but when the nickname changed, the player who led that first Attack team in scoring was Shawn Snider. He came from the Soo Gre…
It's all about discipline and the consistency with which it is applied. We discuss the possibility of reducing the workload of the disciplinarians and broadening our perspectives when it comes to handing out suspensions. Plu…
He was a first overall pick into the Ontario Hockey League and his junior career took him to Toronto, Guelph, and London. But that was just the beginning. Drafted by Washington, he didn't sign and was drafted a second time b…
The surging Guelph Storm make for a crowded Western Conference, everything you needed to know about instant replay in the OHL, the Erie Otters go the distance during an 8-game road trip, we answer your emails (to address noi…
He holds the Ottawa 67's rookie record for goals in a season with 44. In his last junior season, he won the OHL scoring title with 166 points ... in just 52 games. He's regarded as one of the Top 50 Ottawa 67's in franchise …
Questionable hits leave no question about a lack of respect, milestones in Barrie, supporting Indigenous hockey, a small pet peeve about peeing-on-demand after a game, getting more bums into more seats, a listener's vision f…
He racked up more than 300 penalty minutes over a four-year OHL career, while playing for three different teams. And then he made one of the most abrupt U-turns you can imagine. Cameron Lizotte, OHL champion (Erie) and Toron…
The incredible Zayne Parekh, how Hardie will top them all in Mississauga, Butler's perfect script in Erie, the impact of playing without Misa and Wright, our Prospects of the Week...and is the OHL's model franchise the one y…
He's one of only a handful of players who suited up for each of the Canadians, Raiders, and Frontenacs teams in Kingston. And with a maverick owner in his first year, Geoff Schneider saw his share of strange things as he tri…
A coaching change in Kitchener, the "Battle of the Ottawa River" leaves too many teams on the shore, simplifying the 3 Stars, and our Prospects of the Week. Tune in for the best takes about what's going on around the league,…
