First up special guest Canadian singer/songwriter, James Keelaghan will be talking with us about a retrospective of his last 25 years of work – AND later in the show, we move to the controversial tidings of Rex Murphy and the CBC….

Hockey Canadian Style | We apologize, but really, it's always been our game.
Truthfully, hockey is anyone’s game - it’s that much fun... We just happen to play it better (she said, tongue-in-cheek :).
