Had the pleasure of joining host Judy Aldous on CBC’s Alberta at Noon radio program on Friday afternoon. Got to talk Edmonton Oilers, hockey fandom, and much more.

Enjoyed this a lot as I got to spend the full hour on the show and cover a bunch of great topics.

Full segment is here: CBC Alberta at Noon (2024, May 17)

Topics we covered:

• The current state of the Edmonton Oilers series against the Vancouver Canucks, and what the Oilers issues have been.
• What the Oilers need to do to push this series to seven games, and the potential ramifications if things don’t go well.
• Hockey fandom and how fans are supporting any Canadian playoff team regardless of their allegiances.
• My own experience as a fan, getting into hockey and the embracing the geeky parts of the game.
• The role of online hockey fans, and how they contribute to the information and knowledge around the game.

Big thanks to producer Dave Waddell and the CBC team that put it all together!
