First, Mike Stubbs, the longtime voice of the London Knights from 980 CFPL joins us to chat about this group looking to go for "one last dance" together as they advance to the West Final for a third straight season and looking to finish on a high after winning the 2024 OHL Championship and losing in the Memorial Cup Final to rival Saginaw, the demeanour of the team and X-factor players to watch in the series as the core favourites with lofty expectations look to achieve great things before graduating to the pros.

Second, Mike Farwell the voice of the Kitchener Rangers on 570 News Radio in Kitchener talks about the Rangers unexpected path in reaching the West Final for the first time since 2017-18 after a reverse sweep of the second seeded Windsor Spitfires, coming back from 3-0 down to win Game 7 in overtime, and how the next chapter of the storied junior hockey rivalry between the Knights and Rangers is taking shape.
