NHL Unscripted with Virk and Demers

Longtime broadcaster Adnan Virk and former NHL player Jason Demers team up to offer the latest and greatest from the world of hockey and beyond. Way beyond! The spirited talk will occasionally stray from the game and venture into topics ranging from food to movies to comedy to wrestling. An array of guests will also be dropping in to join the soiree. It’s all fair game when these two get together every week.

    With the holiday season in full swing, Adnan Virk and Jason Demers discuss a great night in Edmonton, the theory behind all these drones in New Jersey and why the NBA Cup is ridiculous. Then former NHL player Nate Thompson (21:30) shares his powerful message about mental health as well as his connection to the Jewish faith. Naturally, Adnan weighs in on the recent Academy Awards shortlist announcement and Jason shares plenty of stories about the time he thought he was drafted (he wasn't, yet) and the time he thought he was Jewish (he wasn't).
