February 02, 2022 TCA Ep930: A 2x Olympic Gold Medalist For Canada Turned Hockey Broadcaster - Cheryl Pounder Joins The Show
We're thrilled to welcome an Olympian, a World Champion and now a tremendous broadcaster to the show. The Women's Hockey Tournament at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games kicks off on Wednesday night and there's no one better to help get us set for puck drop than Cheryl Pounder.
If you enjoy the show, we'd love it if you could take a moment to support us by leaving a rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It just takes a second but helps us out a great deal.
We kick things off by going back in time about 20 years to ask Cheryl about the legendary Gold Medal Game from the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics where Canada was left shorthanded 11 times by an American referee. The game made news across the country and Cheryl maintains that may have been a turning point for the sport of hockey for women in Canada.
Later on talk turns to Cheryl's transition in to the broadcasting world and how that opportunity presented itself.
And of course, we ask her for a preview of this year's edition of Team Canada heading in to Beijing 2022. Who are the names Canadians will get to know very well throughout the Games? Who has the edge right now to get the call as the starting goaltender? And which team could be the underdog who throws a wrench in to the tournament by changing up the usual order of things?
All this and lots more with a tremendous athlete, a tremendous broadcaster and an even better guest. It's a can't miss episode of Tall Can Audio so make sure you don't miss it.

It's fight week once again and UFC 270 looks to be a total banger. We're thrilled to welcome back to the podcast our buddy Steve Bunda of Faces Magazine.
Apple Podcasts and Spotify now allow listeners to leave star ratings for their favourite podcasts. We'd love it if you'd take a moment to give us a good one. It just takes a sec but it makes a big difference for us.
We kick off the show where we always do. What are the craft beer selections that the guys are riding with tonight? Plus we catch up with Bunda as he's made a huge move since we last spoke.
Talk of course turns to the UFC and we start with the fact that ESPN and the UFC have raised the price of Pay Per Views once again and how long that can possibly be sustainable.
UFC 270 is a loaded card with 2 championship bouts as we'll see both the UFC Heavyweight and Flyweight titles defended in high profile matchups. And the undercard is littered with interesting pairings. Matt and Steve walk you through the card offering up their predictions and letting you in on what to look for in each fight.
Make sure you're following Steve Bunda on Twitter @SteveBunda91 and catch his work in Faces Magazine which you can follow @FacesOttawa.
