Coming Down the Pipe...
[0:00] - The intro for Season 21 of The Pipeline Show
[1:14] - Guy has a preseason WHL trade, some scores, the Listener Question of the Week and the guest list.
[16:52] - Mike Johnston is the General Manager of the Portland Winterhawks, a team that you can always count on to be entertaining and competitive. This year will be no different. A great look inside from an executive that has been around junior hockey for decades.
[44:31] - We stick in the U.S. Division for a deep dive on a real wild card club this year; the Wenatchee Wild. General Manager Bliss Littler introduces fans to a lot of new names as the club looks to take a new step forward in its 3rd WHL campaign.
[1:10:27] - The Kelowna Rockets are going to try and pull of a rarity; to go from last place to not just reach the playoffs, but to the top of the WHL standings. They aren't going to be happy with just qualifying for the Memorial Cup as hosts because they want to win it. A monumental task to say the least but Owner and General Manager Bruce Hamilton has a plan and shares some of it with us.
[1:39:25] - Closing out this episode this week is Chad Leslie, the GM of the Swift Current Broncos. The team is clearly embracing a youth movement but call it a retool and not a rebuild. Does it matter? Let's learn more about this talented but young roster.
