Colin Fraser played on what many consider the greatest World Junior Team Canada has produced, 2005 in North Dakota. They  literally knocked Alexander Ovechkin out of the gold medal game. We chatted about his minor hockey days and how that's changed. His WJC experience and his time in the NHL that produced 3 Stanley Cups. Colin has some great stories from fighting WJC teammates in their first game after the tournament to the worst injury he saw a teammate play through and so much more. As usual you can win a GC from Acme Meat Market if you know your World Junior trivia.

Canada's World Junior camp is underway in Oakville and Sam Cosentino of the CHL on Sportsnet has been watching the past couple of days. We discussed the team that might be and expectations for this year. How much will the team rely on likely first overall pick Alexis Lafreniere? How many draft eligible players will be chosen? For the first time in a few years there will be a goaltending battle and Dale Hunter may employ a different kind of power play. We also touched on the Oil Kings and the WHL. As always you can win a GC from Acme Meat Market in our weekly trivia question.

Jason Strudwick was a tough customer when he played his 674 games in the NHL with 100 fights on his resume. He also has an infectious personality and is one of the best storytellers. I enjoyed working with him and this conversation was a lot of fun. His last job before being a pro hockey player is a funny story, as are encounters with teammates including helping one high profile ex Oiler spend his bonus money. We chatted about the Oilers, Don Cherry and how he handles social media...which is brilliant.
