    Tournament Director of the CPKC Canadian Women’s Open Brian Newton

    Brenden Escott takes a closer look at one of the biggest sporting events coming to Edmonton as the conversation with Brian Newton of Golf Canada previews the CPKC Women’s Open at the historic Royal Mayfair Golf Club. The episode explores just how significant it is for Edmonton to host a tournament of this magnitude, the global stature of the event within women’s golf and the enormous amount of preparation required to transform Royal Mayfair into a world-class championship venue. The discussion also examines why Golf Canada continues to trust Edmonton as a host city for major events, what the city has done so well historically and how tournaments like this can leave a lasting impact on the local sports landscape and golf community. Attention then turns to Brooke Henderson and the excitement surrounding the defending champion’s arrival in Edmonton. How important has Henderson been to the growth of women’s golf in Canada? And what does having the country’s biggest golf star in the field do for the atmosphere, visibility, and energy surrounding tournament week? The episode also highlights what fans can expect from the live experience at Royal Mayfair, why attending elite golf in person is so unique and how volunteers play a critical role in making an event of this scale possible. From the atmosphere during tournament week to opportunities for people of all ages to get involved, the conversation shines a light on the community effort behind the scenes. To wrap things up, the focus shifts to legacy — what would define success for Edmonton once the final putt drops, and what organizers hope people remember long after the tournament leaves town.

    Derek Van Diest from NHL.com

    Brenden Escott is joined by Derek Van Diest from NHL.com to break down a fascinating stretch in the sports world, starting with the growing intrigue surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and the questions facing the organization this offseason. The conversation dives into the futures of Kris Knoblauch and Bruce Cassidy, whether Edmonton’s issues stem more from roster construction, systems, or culture and where major changes could happen first as pressure mounts on management to maximize the championship window. The guys also examine the biggest vulnerabilities on the Oilers roster. From there, the focus shifts to the Vegas-Anaheim playoff series, where the details beneath the surface are becoming impossible to ignore. What have the Ducks carried over from their success against Edmonton? How impactful has Mitch Marner been for Vegas? And why does Brett Howden continue to come through in massive moments? The discussion also takes a closer look at the goaltending battle between Lukas Dostal and Carter Hart. To close things out, the conversation turns to Canadian soccer and the devastating implications of another injury for Alphonso Davies. With his World Cup status now in doubt, the episode explores what his potential absence would mean not only tactically for Canada, but emotionally for a team that draws so much identity and confidence from its captain.

    Mick Kern from SiriusXM NHL Network Radio

    Brenden Escott dives into another busy night across the hockey world with Mick Kern from SiriusXM NHL Network Radio, beginning with the uncertainty surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and their ongoing search for direction behind the bench. With Kris Knoblauch still awaiting clarity on whether he’ll return next season, the conversation explores what the coaching search says about the organization, where the pressure lies after another disappointing finish and what kind of voice the Oilers may ultimately decide they need moving forward. The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue with the Montreal Canadiens delivering an emphatic 6-2 win over Buffalo in Game 3, and the discussion examines whether anything about Montreal’s playoff maturity and composure has been surprising during this run. The guys also look at the evolving role of goaltending in today’s NHL postseason after Buffalo turns back to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, and whether teams now almost expect to rely on multiple netminders over the course of a deep playoff push. Out west, attention shifts to Vegas, where the Golden Knights look to regain control of a tied series against Anaheim in Game 5. Mitch Marner’s playoff impact continues to be one of the biggest storylines of the postseason, especially given the scrutiny he faced in Toronto, while Vegas once again seems to be getting timely contributions throughout the lineup. The episode wraps with a look at the Colorado Avalanche after a commanding 5-2 win over Minnesota gave them a 3-1 series lead. Are the Avalanche still the team to beat in the Stanley Cup race, or are there signs this year’s playoff field may be more wide open than expected?
