Is the KIJHL heading for a major shift?

Episode 59 is out, and with Joe away this week, Owen is joined by guest co-host Austin Wooley to discuss the KIJHL season thus far before getting into a speculative conversation about the future of the KIJHL, where it’s trending, what’s changing behind the scenes, and what it could mean for players, teams, and BC junior hockey as a whole.

We also dive into Olympic roster projections, the Quinn Hughes trade discussion, and a mix of junior NHL talk.

This week, Owen and Joe were lucky enough to chat with Merrimack Hockey Senior Defenseman Matthew Campbell. Matthew played at BWC and for the NW Hawks before moving on to Junior and cementing his status as a Coquitlam Express legend. He then committed to Quinnipiac and won a National Championship as a freshman before transferring and playing two years at Michigan Tech. He got to attend the Philadelphia Flyers development camp, and is currently trying to carve a path to the Pros as his college career comes towards its end at Merrimack. Filled with everything from motivational and inspirational stories to hilarious laughs, this interview is one of our best, and we can't thank Matty enough for being such a beauty.
