All 60: A CHL Podcast

The WHL trade deadline has come and gone and it perhaps wasn't quite as insane as the Q or O but Ryan Switzer is here to break it all down for us as his Broncos have been having a very tough go of things as of late as have the Prince George Cougars who have lost 7 straight. On the flip side the Medicine Hat Tigers have won 17 in a row! Expansion Penticton has won 9 straight while Everett continues to cruise in the western conference.Follow Ryan on twitter @ryan_switzerFollow the show on social media @all60chlpodCheck out our website all60chlpod.com

A little bit later than planned this week but we are finally back with a new episode of the podcast as we had back to the QMJHL to cover all the big moves from their recent trading window (it works different in the Q than in the other two leagues). Patrick McNeil is here to break down the trades that the big-time buyers made as well as talk about a suddenly surging Cape Breton Eagles and some QMJHL press box view talk.Follow Patrick on twitter @cbepbpFollow the show on social media @all60chlpodCheck out our website at all60chlpod.com

Meanwhile the Memorial Cup host Kelowna Rockets seem to have turned a corner with a very solid month of November along with some trades, though one of those trades has blown up in their face a tad.The guys discuss where all the teams are at and all the trades that went down in the month of November.You can follow Ryan on twitter @ryan_switzerYou can follow the show on social media @all60chlpodCheck out our website all60chlpod.com
