The Show
This is not your typical hockey show. This weekly 45-60 minute show is a potent combination of humour and genuine hockey insights that pushes the envelope.
Liam is renowned for his photographic memory, lively storytelling, vast hockey knowledge and sometimes over-the-top passion for the game of hockey.
Chris is known for his unrehearsed humour, contagious laughter and uncanny ability to make even the most serious debates end in boisterous guffaws.
Between the two, there is an infectious enthusiasm and professional chemistry that is evident from the outset. It can only be described as lightning in a bottle.

In the early 90’s Chris became a Contributing Writer to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and over the next decade and a half toured professionally across Canada and the US.
