This week, in part one, Ryan Drury, Steve Sabourin and Adam Bell are joined by Listowel Cyclones great Holdyn Lansink.
Holdyn reflects on a brilliant junior hockey career with both the Wingham Ironmen and the Cyclones, with whom he won 2 Cherrey Cups and Listowel's first ever Sutherland Cup in 2018. Lansink leaves the team as their all-time points leader, and he talks about remaining a part of Listowel and pursuing things within the game after retiring from playing following a number of tough injuries. He was also just named the OHA Jr. B Player of the Year for the 2018-19 season, a well deserved honour for an all time Jr. B great.
To end off the week, Ryan and Steve are joined by Team Canada Men's Fastball team member Tyler Pauli.
Tyler will be heading to the Czech Republic for the WBSC Men's World Fastball Championships in June to try and win Canada's first gold medal since winning on home soil in 2015 in Saskatoon. Canada is ranked 2nd in the world behind powerhouse New Zealand, but Tyler is confident the team can get over the hump and win in Europe. Tyler initially was well known for his hockey prowess for the Jr. C Mitchell Hawks, even captaining that team, but now has reached the peak of fastball as a great up-and-coming talent for Team Canada.
