Friday Hockey Audio

We're just about 20 hours away from puck drop. I don't have to tell you I'm getting pretty excited. Penticton is in tough right now against Westside before coming to Trail tomorrow night. It'll be interesting to check out an almost entirely new Vees squad with only eight returning players. Of course the Smokies only have five players back from last year themselves. I had a chance to talk to Vees voice Ryan Pinder about their new look squad. That's just one of the many interviews we've had on Mountain FM's Overtime this weekn. In case you missed it here's another look:

Visit Mountain FM's Audio section for all sorts of Overtime interviews including Nitehawks GM Terry Jones, Nelson Coach Simon Wheeldon, Grand Forks Coach Rob Fitzpatrick, Castlegar Coach Brent Heaven, Rebels Tony Johnston and Brent Lucente, etc. There's a bunch of stuff there and I may put up direct links tomorrow, but I'm confident you can find it!

Tomorrow night the Smokies introduce a couple of new game day features. The Guitar Hero sponsored by Walmart and the Ferraro Foods $25,000 Shoot Out. Also on hand tomorrow will be Fruitvale's Gary Morissette fresh off competing on Canadian Idol. He'll be doing a duet on the anthem as well as participating in Guitar Hero. There's a lot more than just the games planned for the Smoke Eaters this year. Lots of reasons to come out to the rink. Lets back the place tomorrow night! See you there!
