On this episode, Erie Otters sniper Alex DeBrincat joins Jeff. The Chicago second-rounder is on pace to do something not seen in the OHL for 40 years and talks about his experience as a draft-eligible player and a surging Otters squad that opposing defences just can’t figure out.

Here’s a taste of their discussion.

Ryan Wagman of Hockey Prospectus, McKeens and ESPN also stops by to run down some of the top names fans need to know.

And, as always Sam Cosentino, lead analyst for the CHL on Sportsnet, finishes off the show with his take on the early returns from the CIBC Canada Russia Series.
