  • Episode 9: CHL President Dan MacKenzie, the Continuing Evolution of the Junior Hockey Landscape, and a Kelowna Shuttle Confrontation
    May 27 2026

    Sean is in beautiful Kelowna for the Memorial Cup. Robert is still in Dallas (where the Rangers got no-hit on Monday).


    We open (1:00) by talking about Sean's adjusted sleep schedule, the crazy playoff tiebreaker possibilities at the Memorial Cup, how to determine how tall hockey players really are, and sports bucket list items.


    Sean then sits down (42:01) with CHL President Dan MacKenzie to discuss what he learned from his time with the NBA, a year under the new NCAA rules, and how the various junior leagues are working in an era of expanded player choice.


    The guys wrap up (1:07:10) by discussing the last couple weeks' of conversations with CHL and USHL folks, and how junior hockey (and NCAA hockey) might change in the coming years.
