What an episode we have for you this week.  Not only is it the debut of our newest segment “Around the Horn” with Blair Setford and Kyle Smith, but Hopey and I had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with 12 year NHL veteran, 2018 NHL Coach of the Year with the Vegas Golden Knights and a 13-year member of the Summerside Twins Senior Men’s Team, it’s the one and only, Gerard Gallant.

Man, to say this was a special episode would be an understatement.  Those who know me, know I’m a massive hockey fan, especially when it comes to the 80’s and 90’s of the NHL and the fact we got to chat with Turk was amazing.

We talk to Turk about where his nickname came from, his days with the Summerside Twins in the 80’s and 90’s, host the Senior Nats in 1986 at Queen Elizabeth Park, some awesome stories from his time in the NHL and so much more.

Turk, thanks again for taking the time to do this!

Last time we chatted with Mo, she had just finished up her first year at AU and a lot has gone down since that talk 4 years ago.  After one more season of AU, she moved on to the Vipers for a year before finding a home with the Smoke where she has flourished under the ownership group of former Major League All-star, Brandon Phillips and his wife, WWE Superstar, Jade Cargill.  Mo also just got back from a stint down in the Mexican league, where we have a chat about how great the atmosphere is down there and how much that league has grown in 2 short years.

This episode may have topped our first chat, as it is definitely a free for all and nothing is held back.
