We've already hit the quarter way mark of the regular season in the OHL and while some teams are performing as expected there are also certainly some surprises both near the top and bottom of the standings. Niagara IceDogs TV play by play Steve Clark is here to break it all down for us as well as dive into the dreaded politics topic with the Russian ban at IIHF events being lifted, but other hockey nations are saying they won't compete if Russia is there.What does this mean for the World Juniors in Edmonton and Red Deer at the end of December?Follow Steve Clark on twitter @steveclarkmediaFollow the show on social media @all60chlpodCheck out our website at all60chlpod.com

We are back with some CHL content this week, more specifically QMJHL content with Patrick McNeil whose own Cape Breton Eagles have been off to a rough start despite very high expectations this season.

But will the 2028 tournament be the last one as we know it?Word this week is there are big changes coming to the Memorial Cup format as early as 2029. March Madness style perhaps?The guys also get into an unscheduled discussion about the ins and outs of a radio broadcast in junior hockey.Follow Patrick on twitter @cbepbpFollow the show on social media @all60chlpodCheck out our website all60chlpod.com

The Eagles have already loaded up in a big way for the 2026-27 season. Who else are the early favourites for next season and who is looking at a grim future? Four QMJHL teams have begun the process on bidding to host the 2028 Memorial Cup.
