Post Draft Show

We're back for the 2023 QMJHL Post Draft episode, and there was quite a bit of news to cover!
We were joined by Nic Riopel of Propulsion Agency to discuss the QMJHL draft  as a player rep during a busy 2 nights, and he talks about the players that went (including one to the Wildcats) as well as the process for the undrafted guys getting invites to NHL development camps. 
We discuss the Wildcats draft, which included a trade for a 20yr old before the draft as well as a night 1 trade in which the Wildcats got into the 1st round! We take a look at what seemed to be a common theme in the draft and FA which is SIZE!
Join us next week for the Season Six finale, as we'll have a special guest and have a early camp preview!
 
ENJOY

Season Review Part 1

We're coming to the end of the Podcast season, but this week it's the Wildcats Season Review (Part 1). 
We get into a Battle of Alberta as the Flames and Oilers get into it in Round 2, so naturally we have to have a jersey bet, as well talk Round 2 of the #QPlayoffs 
We did the player report cards for the Goalies and Defense, which of course took a little bit of time
Tune in tomorrow for Part 2

Playoffs Are Over

Just like that the Wildcats run to the President Cup is over, as they were swept by the the Charlottetown Islanders. 
The Wildcats weren't ready for playoff hockey, and the Islanders showed another gear in the 3 games and weren't really tested. This team showed heart all season and we're proud of the effort but they just ran into a goliath in round 1.

Playoffs ARE HERE!!

We've made it, through 68 games, and now it's time to get excited for the playoffs with our Playoff Preview!
We went through the playoff schedule giving our picks for each series, didn't see many upsets, few sweeps and then we got into the Wildcats/Islanders series. It's not going to be an easy series as these division rivals leave nothing left to the unknown!
We had a "View from the other bench" with Nick Marek of the Portland Winterhawks to talk Eastern Conference and Guy Flaming of the Oil Kings to talk Western Conference in the WHL Playoffs

Merry Clinchmas

The Wildcats have clinched a spot in the 2022 QMJHL Playoffs!! 
We first take a look back at the 2020 draft, and ask the question, would we do anything differently?
We were joined by Kortney Kenney of The Frontline Podcast, the official podcast of the North Bay Battalion to get a preview of not only North Bay's series vs Ottawa but also the OHL playoffs and a little draft chat. 
We recap the weekend including the clinching game vs Titan

Split in Quebec

We're back in the studio after Boucher is done with Covid protocol and it was a good quite Easter Weekend for the both of us. 
The Wildcats went 2-2 on the road trip (4 games in 5 days) and also got the PP going on the trip as well. 
We're in the home stretch with only 6 games left in the season before the platoffs start.

Homestand Success

So were back to the phone call podcast this week as Boucher has entered Covid Protocol this past week!
The Wildcats finish the homestand with points in 3 of 4 games, including a 2 wins and OT loss, but didn't get off to a good start in Halifax to begin the 5 game road trip before the head to Quebec for 4 in 5 days.
News and Notes has some interesting ideas/rumours for fighting and the 20yr old situation.
