Kurtis Gabriel (@kurtisgabriel_) is a former NHL player who was selected 81st overall in the 2013 NHL Draft by the Minnesota Wild and went on to play at the NHL level with the Minnesota Wild, New Jersey Devils, San Jose Sharks, and Chicago Blackhawks. Known for his toughness, fighting, and on-ice presence, Gabriel carved out his professional career by embracing one of hockey’s most demanding roles.
In this episode, Kurtis gave us nearly two hours of his time to walk through his entire playing career, sharing raw and mind-blowing stories of adversity, his favourite moments in the game, and the teammates who meant the most to him. We also dive deep into mental health, Kurtis’ own personal battles, and how a new outlook on life has led to meaningful change off the ice.
Post-career, Kurtis has launched @collectivememoria, an online community focused on helping others, along with @thefightplan, which is set to evolve into a podcast of its own. He also has his first book releasing on April 20, 2026 — a raw and honest account of his journey through hockey and life after the game, featuring more detail and some untold stories he couldn’t tell on the podcast. This is an interview you don’t want to miss.

This week, we’re joined by Hope Icebreakers owners and players Dayton Spink and Tristan Takats to break down how they built a Senior A hockey team from scratch — and are now drawing 700+ fans per game. We dive into their junior hockey journeys as well, with Dayton spending four seasons with the Aldergrove Kodiaks and Tristan suiting up for the Mission Outlaws, White Rock Whalers, and the Dryden Ice Dogs (SIJHL).
Joe and Owen also dig into the major incoming changes to the KIJHL and BC junior hockey as a whole, speculate on the future of the BCHL, and debate what a best-case scenario could look like for everyone involved. Plus: updates from all three junior leagues, the NHL, and the rest of the sports world. Absolutely loaded episode this week!

This week, we’re joined by 3x KIJHL Broadcaster of the Year Award Winners, the Grand Forks Border Bruins broadcast crew, Kevin McKinnon and Cody Thate. We dive into their unconventional paths to becoming a play-by-play and colour commentary duo, packed with hilarious moments and genuinely impactful stories.
We also go deep on the Border Bruins’ history, franchise turnaround, and recent success — including the championship push driven by ownership and Head Coach Dave Hnatiuk. Along the way, the conversation opens up into big-picture talk on the past, present, and future of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, making this a must-listen for junior hockey fans.

Trade Deadline Recap Time! Episode 60 is here, and Owen and Joe are back to discuss all things Junior Hockey, including the PJ/KI trade deadline and the crazy transactions in the VI. Midway through the episode, the boys are joined by Mission City Outlaws Play-by-Play broadcaster Mike "The Boiler" Bordignon for a very entertaining interview discussing Mission's 15 Game heater, the process from last season to this season, battling adversity during tragedy, and many other interesting topics. We also talk about the crazy warm-up scrum clip in the PJ, predictions for each league for the rest of the year, and much more in this one!

Is the KIJHL heading for a major shift?
Episode 59 is out, and with Joe away this week, Owen is joined by guest co-host Austin Wooley to discuss the KIJHL season thus far before getting into a speculative conversation about the future of the KIJHL, where it’s trending, what’s changing behind the scenes, and what it could mean for players, teams, and BC junior hockey as a whole.
We also dive into Olympic roster projections, the Quinn Hughes trade discussion, and a mix of junior NHL talk.

This week, Owen and Joe were lucky enough to chat with Merrimack Hockey Senior Defenseman Matthew Campbell. Matthew played at BWC and for the NW Hawks before moving on to Junior and cementing his status as a Coquitlam Express legend. He then committed to Quinnipiac and won a National Championship as a freshman before transferring and playing two years at Michigan Tech. He got to attend the Philadelphia Flyers development camp, and is currently trying to carve a path to the Pros as his college career comes towards its end at Merrimack. Filled with everything from motivational and inspirational stories to hilarious laughs, this interview is one of our best, and we can't thank Matty enough for being such a beauty.

Owen and Joe discuss the Blue Jays' demise and whether this was the best World Series since 2011. Joe's Drury University is still hot, undefeated, and Owen is choked that Luka, LeBron, Reaves, and Dame didn't play in the Portland game he went to. We then recap the latest NHL news, including the Canucks ups and downs, the Penguins' successes, Montreal's dominance, and more. Wrapping up the episode by recapping the PJHL, KIJHL and VIJHL, including some major trade news in the PJHL and a couple of big headlines in all 3 leagues, such as Richmond's dominance, Revelstoke's resurgence, and Westshore and Peninsula's race for the top of the VIJHL.
