All 61: A WHL Trade Deadline (2026)

All 61: A WHL Trade Deadline (2026)

Author: Steve McLean January 14, 2026 Duration: 1:14:05

The WHL trade deadline has come and gone and it perhaps wasn't quite as insane as the Q or O but Ryan Switzer is here to break it all down for us as his Broncos have been having a very tough go of things as of late as have the Prince George Cougars who have lost 7 straight. On the flip side the Medicine Hat Tigers have won 17 in a row! Expansion Penticton has won 9 straight while Everett continues to cruise in the western conference.

Hitting the road with a mission that blends a love for the game with a deep curiosity about the places it's played, All 60: A CHL Podcast is the audio journey of super fan Steve McLean. This isn't just a studio roundtable; it's an evolving travelogue anchored by weekly conversations. Steve connects directly with voices embedded in the three major junior leagues-the QMJHL, OHL, and WHL-turning correspondents into guides for what's happening on the ice and in their hometowns. You'll hear the immediate buzz about draft prospects, trades, and playoff races, but the discussions often veer into the texture of the journey itself: planning routes, finding the best local spots, and what makes each stop unique. The underlying goal-visiting every one of the 61 CHL arenas-provides a constant, compelling thread, making each episode a step closer to that complete picture. It’s a podcast for those who see hockey as a gateway to understanding communities across Canada, where analysis of a weekend slate of games sits comfortably beside tales of the road. The result is a show that captures the culture and sheer scale of major junior hockey, one conversation and one mile at a time.
