| 6/19/26 | ![]() Riverhawks Head Coach Jake Lanferman | The Edmonton Riverhawks find themselves at 6-11 through their first 17 games and looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they continue a critical road trip before returning home next week. Riverhawks Head Coach Jake Lanferman joins the show to assess where his club stands compared to expectations coming out of spring camp, whether the record accurately reflects the way his team has played and where he's seen the most growth since Opening Day. We'll also discuss the factors behind the slow start, the consistency of the pitching staff and whether a few costly innings have been the difference between several wins and losses. Coach Lanferman shares what the Riverhawks look like when they're playing their best baseball and identifies the areas that still need to improve if the club is going to climb the standings. Plus, we take a look at the ever-changing nature of summer collegiate baseball, including the possibility of roster additions as the season progresses and where the organization may be looking to add depth. We'll also spotlight one of the brightest stories of the season so far, as Easton Andrews continues to tear up the West Coast League. Hitting .404 and leading the league with 23 RBIs, Andrews has been a driving force offensively, and Coach explains what makes him such a difficult matchup for opposing pitchers. Finally, we discuss the importance of this road trip, the leadership voices emerging inside the clubhouse and why Lanferman remains confident that this team has its best baseball ahead of it despite the challenging start.

| 6/19/26 | ![]() Mick Kern from SiriusXM NHL Network Radio | The NHL offseason is already heating up, and Brenden Escott is joined by Mick Kern from SiriusXM NHL Network radio to dive into the biggest stories shaping the league. With Mike Babcock cleared by the NHL to return behind an NHL bench, we examine whether he's the right fit for the Edmonton Oilers, how his coaching style would translate in today's game and what challenges would come with leading a Stanley Cup contender in one of hockey's most demanding markets. We also break down John Chayka's first major move as Leafs general manager, shipping Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit to Philadelphia for Emil Andrae and Sam Ersson. What does the deal reveal about Toronto's priorities moving forward? Elsewhere around the league, the Leafs made a surprising choice by hiring Jim Hiller after an extensive coaching search, while the Vegas Golden Knights opted for continuity by promoting Ryan Craig from within. We compare the two approaches, discuss which organization handled its coaching search best and identify the biggest gamble of the offseason so far. Plus, with the NHL Draft just around the corner in Buffalo, we look at the top storylines, potential surprises and the rumours generating the most buzz as teams prepare for one of the most important events on the hockey calendar.

| 6/18/26 | ![]() Gemma Karstens-Smith from the Canadian Press | Canada's World Cup journey continues, and Brenden Escott is joined by Gemma Karstens-Smith from the Canadian Press in Vancouver ahead of a massive group-stage showdown against Qatar. We set the scene from the host city, examining the buzz surrounding the Canadian men's national team and the growing excitement as supporters dream of a historic breakthrough on home soil. Head coach Jesse Marsch met with the media ahead of the match, and we break down the biggest takeaways from his comments. How did he assess Canada's performance in the tournament opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina? Was the focus on the positives from a landmark result, or on the areas that still need improvement? We also discuss any hints he may have dropped regarding Canada's tactical approach and potential lineup decisions. Several substitutes made a significant impact in the opener, creating some healthy competition for places. We examine whether strong performances off the bench could force Marsch into making changes to his starting XI as Canada looks to build on its momentum. Canada earned its first-ever World Cup point with a spirited 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina, and we look back at the performance that captured the attention of the country. What stood out most, and what lessons can be carried into the next match? With history already made, the focus now shifts to opportunity. We discuss the importance of tomorrow's clash with Qatar, what a result would mean for Canada's chances of advancing and whether this squad has shown enough to convince Canadians that a special tournament run may be within reach.

Sitting at 3-5 through eight games, Baker shares his assessment of the team's start, the progress he's seen since training camp and whether the current record truly reflects the group's performance and potential. The conversation also examines a recent setback against the league-leading Scarborough Shooting Stars, with Baker discussing the lessons learned from facing one of the CEBL's top teams and the message he delivered to his players afterward. He also provides insight into one of the unique challenges of coaching in the CEBL: managing constant roster turnover. With Dain Dainja departing to pursue NBA opportunities and captain Nick Hornsby returning to the lineup, Baker explains how teams maintain continuity amid a revolving roster and why Hornsby's leadership remains so valuable to the organization. Plus, Baker breaks down the balanced offensive approach that has become a hallmark of the Stingers, previews a rematch against Montreal at The Hive, and reveals what fans may not see behind the scenes that gives him confidence this team is capable of producing better results as the season moves forward.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Elks quarterback Cody Fajardo | Edmonton quarterback Cody Fajardo joins the show to discuss how he spent the team's early-season bye week, the importance of taking advantage of a brief reset and how preparation continues even when there isn't a game on the schedule. Fajardo also reflects on Edmonton's season-opening win in Ottawa, evaluating the offence's performance, his comfort level within the game plan and the areas the unit is focused on improving as it prepares for Week 2. The veteran pivot shares his thoughts on the importance of complementary football after all three phases contributed to the victory and explains the challenges of operating an offence in the rain-soaked conditions the Elks faced in the nation's capital. He also discusses the impact of having explosive running back Justin Rankin in the backfield, what makes him such a dangerous weapon and how the quarterback can help unlock even more opportunities for one of the league's most dynamic playmakers. Plus, Fajardo talks about developing chemistry with new receiving targets such as T. J. Luther and Josh Cephus, the excitement surrounding Edmonton's home opener at Commonwealth Stadium and the challenge of facing an undefeated Montreal squad as the Elks look to build on their strong start to the 2026 season.
