100% Hockey

Is hockey becoming... an American sport? After watching this year’s World Junior Championship—and last year’s too—you might think so! But John and Daren save their Junior Hockey deep dive for the second half of the show. First, they’ve got some NHL storylines to tackle.

Let’s talk about surprises. Nobody expected much from teams like the Columbus Blue Jackets or the Montreal Canadiens this season, right? And while they’re not exactly in playoff contention yet, their play has been turning heads. So, what’s driving their success? John and Daren break it down, along with highlights from this weekend’s NHL action.

Finally, after sharing their thoughts on the World Juniors, they wrap things up with a look ahead to February’s 4 Nations Cup. Lots to cover, and you won’t want to miss it!
