Episode 21 - The Final Call

Episode 21 – The Final Call 21 years… where did it go? In this episode, I take you on a quick ride through the OHA hockey broadcasts on CKNX.ca and AM920. Some great memories, big moments, and a collection of epic goal calls from Steve Sabourin. I was lucky to be a small part of it. Met a lot of great people, shared a lot of laughs, and had a front-row seat to some incredible Junior B and C hockey over the years. This one’s about the journey… and bringing it all back one last time. The Final Call. Enjoy. 🎙️
