All 61: A CHL Podcast

This week's episode hits you a little early and was already recorded a couple weeks ago as Steve McLean & Kevin Jordan tee up their trip to Czechia which already started last week! The guys have NINE games on tap throughout Czechia and take you through how this trip came about and what the planned games are.

A full trip recap will come after the guys get back to Canada.

The 2026-27 OHL regular season is already two weeks old, but we are here for a full league preview with Steve Clark the TV play by play voice of the Niagara IceDogs but also to start the season he has also been the radio voice of the Kitchener Rangers!

Are the Memorial Cup host Guelph Storm the odds-on favourite to win the west or is London back to full strength after a "down year" where they only finished 4th in the conference.

The east seems a bit of a tougher egg to crack on who will lead the way, but we definitely know who will likely bring up the rear.

We pivot from the east coast to the west coast as Ryan Switzer is back for another season as our WHL correspondent and this week tees us up for the 2026-27 WHL season.

Some off-season changes including new overtime rules, a new streaming platform and an in-season cup which the guys naturally advocate to become a championship belt! The more things change the more they stay the same as many of the top teams from last year appear to be strong again this year and Ryan is already throwing down WHL finals predictions 8 months in advance!

WE ARE BACK!

The 2026-27 CHL regular season kicks off this weekend so it's time for us to go across the CHL and preview each league and what they have in store this season. First up its the QMJHL with play-by-play voice of the Cape Breton Eagles Patrick McNeil. The Eagles might be the early favourite but the maritime division appears to be a wagon this season. Can the Quebec teams match their strength?

It's our 2025-26 season finale episode of All 61: A CHL Podcast. On this episode Steve Clark is here to go over the OHL heading into the off season and what next season might look like as Steve McLean is downright giddy about the trades the Guelph Storm have made ahead of hosting next year's Memorial Cup. Clark gives his thoughts on Kitchener's dominating Memorial Cup performance; the guys discuss what a success the in-person OHL draft was and how the new NCAA dynamic might not all be doom and gloom despite more players than ever making the jump.

We appreciate your support and might pop back on during the summer if any news warrants but for now it's time to kick up our heels and relax for the summer. We will be back in September for the 2026-27 season!

Stay tuned to our social media channels for any updates @all60chlpod as well as our website all60chlpod.com.

We continue to wrap up the 2025-26 season as we head back out west one last time to chat with Swift Current's own Ryan Switzer to get his take on the Memorial Cup and how the two WHL representatives faired. Can the dub ever win this tournament again?

We also get Ryan's super early takes on who might be contenders in 2026-27, go through some trades and of course some wrestling talk to wrap it all up!

The Memorial Cup might be in the rearview mirror, but we decide to take one last look at each of the three leagues before calling it a season. First up Patrick McNeil is back to cover a ton of stories that have been going around the QMJHL. First up last week the Q had its annual draft and it made some headlines with all the trades it had, with one pick in particular. The Eagles have already loaded up in a big way for the 2026-27 season. Who else are the early favourites for next season and who is looking at a grim future? Four QMJHL teams have begun the process on bidding to host the 2028 Memorial Cup.

All that and a ton more on this packed episode of All 61: A CHL Podcast!

A week has passed since the Kitchener Rangers captured the 2026 Memorial Cup Championship so who better to talk about the Rangers sweet victory than a pair of fans from Guelph and London! Steve McLean and Kevin Jordan talk about the Rangers impressive season and playoff run. Steve addresses his back and forth on social media this week with Rangers GM Mike McKenzie and the Rangers fans. The guys talk about a new wrinkle to the NCAA war that should be beneficial to the CHL and the USHL has also announced a new massive expansion!

Before the tournament semi final on Friday we had the chance to catch up with the radio voice for the Chicoutimi Sagueneens Francois Gingras as he talks about the Sags performance at the tournament (before the semis), the ending of the long championship drought, the ugliness at the end of Tuesdays game and possible arena renovations for the Centre Georges Vezina.

After that Steve breaks down Everett's dominant 6-1 victory over the Sags to eliminate Chicoutimi and punch the Tips ticket to Sundays Championship game against the Kitchener Rangers.
