This week Cam Bedford is our guest as Pete has a revelation, past guests of the Canadian persuasion enact some revenge. We also discuss the World Juniors, the Winter Classic, the Winnipeg Jets and the punk of Winnipeg.

Amongst other Winnipeg bands, we play ‘Petition’ by John K. Samson. Courtesy of Pete, Up The Pucks is now the sponsor of the hockey-reference.com page of Riverton, Manitoba native, and the subject of the song, Reggie Leach.

Other music from Manitoba bands Propagandhi, Comeback Kid, Every New Day, and Figure Four.
