On Sunday, after starting the year 2-9-1 the Edmonton Oilers fired head coach and named Kris Knoblauch as his replacement. Knoblauch and Oilers CEO of Hockey Operations, Jeff Jackson, as well as Connor McDavid, have a long history with Kris, dating back to his days as head coach of the Erie Otters during McDavid's tenure. The move raises questions about GM Ken Holland's future and could be a rallying point for the Oilers to turn their season around.Subscribe to The Jesse Blake Sports Report wherever you get your podcasts!Visit https://www.sdpn.ca/jbsr for more!Recorded: November 12, 2023Visit https://sdpn.ca for merch and more.Follow Jesse on Twitter at @JesseBlakeFollow Jesse on Instagram @Jesse.BlakeReach out to https://www.sdpn.ca/sales to connect with our sales team and discuss the opportunity to integrate your brand within our content!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Steve Nimigon never expected to play for the Erie Otters. An NHL draft pick of the Hartford Whalers, Nimigon thought he'd have turned pro the year the Niagara Falls Thunder left town to become the Erie Otters. But Nimigon not only played for the Otters, who wore the 'C' for the team, he got involved in every aspect of establishing an OHL franchise in a new market, and the Otters Humanitarian Award is named after him today. Nimigon is also credited with being among a core of players that helped pave the way for the Otters first championship in 2002. You'll find out why when you listen.The OHL Podcast is presented by Matt Smith Goaltending.

After losses to the Erie Otters and the Saginaw Spirit Mike Stubbs talks with Knights assistant coaches Rick Steadman and Dylan Hunter about the things that they are seeing on the ice. Dylan Hunter takes a close look at the power play and what needs to be done to get it going. Mike also does an entire Western Conference check-in where he compares where the teams in the West were expected to be with where they are as many of them pass the ten-game mark.

Ryder and Sawyer Boulton have very quickly become fan favourites in London. Their dad Eric played for Mark Hunter in the mid-90s and then went on to play 654 games in the National Hockey League. Mike Stubbs sits down with Sawyer and Ryder and then speaks with Eric about the impact Mark Hunter had on his career and his career in the NHL. Mike also looks at Dale Hunter's latest milestone and previews games against the Erie Otters and the Saginaw Spirit.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Erie Otters play-by-play announcer Shawn Bednard onto my show.

He was a "too-small" forward who went in the 9th round to the Soo. But he impressed the Hounds enough at rookie camp that he was signed by the following Christmas before embarking on a 300-plus point OHL career. Rob Hisey would go on to play for the Erie Otters and the Barrie Colts en route to a 14-year pro career that included a championship in Austria. And Hisey's legend lives on, online. Just pop his name into YouTube and see unthinkable goals like this from the OHL's skills competition in 2005, or Hisey's personal favourite, this OT winner in Germany. Today, Hisey is coaching his kids, who might be in the OHL before long. Not long after that, Hisey might find his way behind an OHL bench...The OHL Podcast is presented by Matt Smith Goaltending.
