Analyzing hockey news from Midwestern Ontario to the world! We feature guests from all roles in hockey from local to the NHL. Our catalog of classic episodes reflects our five-year history as a cable tv show, first broadcast around Ontario on all of Eastlink’s Community channels then in Midwestern Ontario via Wightman Cable. Our humble show also doubled as a live radio broadcast on BWR 91.3 FM. Now truly independent, we talk Hockey from Canadian and Ontario perspectives, specializing in uncovering important, yet lesser-told, stories. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hockeytalk913
