The 2026 NHL Season is here & Michael Bublé trades the microphone for some serious hockey talk as he joins Ian Bagg and Jeff Sharples for an absolutely loaded—and hilarious—conversation! The lifelong Canucks fan and Vancouver Giants co-owner shares incredible stories about joining an ownership group alongside hockey legends Pat Quinn and Gordie Howe, his deep connection to Vancouver hockey, raising soccer-obsessed kids, and why owning a junior hockey team is definitely a "heart win" rather than a money win. Bublé also pulls back the curtain on his upcoming Hometown Giants series, the changing landscape of junior hockey, developing young players into great people, and what he believes is really happening with the Canucks' rebuild. Add in Macklin Celebrini talk, fantasy hockey, draft-day, and Bublé proving he might be an even bigger hockey nerd than anyone realized, and this is one Orange Slices conversation you do not want to miss!
