This week, the Media Mavens sit down to chat with Stuart Ballantyne, the President and COO of Rogers Place & ICE District at Oilers Entertainment Group. Holding a lifetime career throughout the world of Canadian hockey, Ballantyne had worked at Molson Sports & Entertainment for seven years before working with Hockey Canada, Vancouver Giants Hockey Club, Canada Winter Games before finding a home with the Oilers Entertainment Group. Most notably in recent memory, Edmonton's arena played a key role during COVID-19, acting as one of two hub cities to finish up that season in the midst of the pandemic. “We wanted to be able to keep going and sure enough in the end, Toronto and Edmonton became the two hub cities to finish last season.” Ballantyne explained. With the Mavens, Ballantyne discusses his long career, Edmonton's new arena, how hockey has changed during COVID-19 and what goes on behind closed doors in running a sports team.

In Episode 978, Sean and Vivek Jacob talk about Team Canada's loss at the men's Olympic qualifying tournament before chatting about Jalen Harris' suspension for a positive drug test. They kick things off with a look at the big picture ramifications of Canada's semi-final loss to the Czech Republic in Victoria on the weekend, and ponder the still-bright future of Canada's men's team while acknowledging the lost opportunity this represents. They then dig into the specifics of the 103-101 loss to the Czechs, which was a truly outstanding basketball game if you were a neutral observer. Lastly, they talk about Jalen Harris, and why his suspension for a positive test for a "drug of abuse" is absolutely bogus, and lays bare the NBA's out of whack priorities when it comes to which types of infractions receive suspensions versus which ones do not.

History may remember Georgia Simmerling for her as the first Canadian to compete in three different sports in three Olympic different Games. This summer will be Georgia’s fourth Olympics in Tokyo. But her success goes beyond podium finishes as a competitor in Alpine, Ski Cross and Track Cycling teams. Even her Bronze Medal finish in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio is just the tip of this virtuoso competitor who is truly greater than the sum of her accomplishments. Time and again, Georgia’s many successes demonstrate the power of what can happen if we believe in ourselves enough to overcome adversity. Georgia’s determination, sportmanship, and sheer grace of character testify to the potential that lives within each of us when we embrace life and hope. This is her story.

Anne Merklinger understands the mind of an athlete. As a swimmer she competed with the University of South Carolina and Canada's national team, a choice that delayed her curling pursuits for four years. Eventually Anne returned to Ottawa and skipped a team that would battle the best in Canada for a decade. Her rink of third Theresa Breen, second Patti McKnight and lead Audrey Frey won four Ontario Provincials, losing a semifinal (1993) and two finals ('98 and '00) at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Anne's career in sport management led to a role as director of Canoe Kayak Canada and then to her current position as CEO of Own the Podium, Canada's Olympic development program. We discuss the difficult losses, Ontario rivalries, the early days of the Womens Tour and the positive influence Olympians can have on Canadians.

We're joined on the pod by your boy, Neate Sager, with lots of ground to cover. It'd be ridiculous to have someone as versed in the CFL game as Neate Sager on the show and not ask him about his thoughts on an unbelievable Grey Cup. Later on, the guys move on to discuss the invite list that Hockey Canada put out on Wednesday for the World Junior Training Camp. Who's missing? Who surprised? And who stands out to Neate? And of course, with the craziness surrounding the Olympic Games, Matt and Neate give their thoughts on CHL teams loaning out their junior players to Canada's Olympic team after already having to give them up for the World Juniors. This is probably going to get messy...
