On this week's show, he's the number 1 rated North American goalie for the upcoming NHL Draft! We go 1 on 1 with Prince George Cougars netminder Tyler Brennan! Speaking of between the pipes, Brennan will be one of the four goalies playing in the CHL Top Prospects Game, which is less than two weeks away in Kitchener! We'll discuss that and much more with our Director of Scouting Craig Button. Plus, he was selected 12th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs back in the 1989 NHL Draft. Now? He's the head coach and general manager of the Ontario JR Hockey League's Pickering Panthers. We'll chat with Rob Pearson in our CJHL Report. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're joined by Stan Butler, a true legend of Junior Hockey who coached in the CHL for 25 years for the Battalion in both North Bay and Brampton, The Oshawa Generals, and The Prince George Cougars. He also coached Team Canada at the World Juniors two years in a row from 2001 to 2002. During his tenure as coach he amassed tonnes of stories and developed close relationships with the likes of Sidney Crosby, Jason Spezza, Matt Duchene, and more. Stan weighs in on how coaching has changed in the past years with the prevalence of Twitter, and the public's perception of "strictness" on the ice. Plus: how much does the thought of "championships" weigh on a coach who has seen as much success as he has?
