The Last Show of 2021

HatTrick

This is the last show of 2021!

Topic 1: Why has the NHL not just pulled the plug and temporarily halted the season? Over 75 players have tested positive for Covid in the past week and dozens of games have been postponed. Now the NHL is suspending cross boarder games, so we ask why not just pause the season temporarily and continue when the numbers go down?

Topic 2: Following right after our conversation about the NHL and Covid, we ask the same question of the Olympics. It feels like only a matter of time before the NHL and NHLPA agree that sending players to China for the game is no longer feasible. So what next?

Topic 3: Finally we wrap up 2021 with a look back at 3 of the biggest stories from the year!

1. Soccer Canada's amazing year with Gold at the Olympics and a world cup qualifying tournament that has electrified the nation.

2. Kyle Beech's bravery in coming forward about the Chicago Blackhawks sexual abuse scandal and cover up, was one of the biggest examples of change sweeping across the sports landscape. This year felt different so much progress and also so many example of how much work still needs to be done!

3. F1 had arguable its most dramatic and exciting season and coupled with the success of the Netflix series Formula 1 has exploded in popularity in North America. 2021 was the biggest year for f1 in Canada and it seems destined to only grow!

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
