All 61: CHL President Dan MacKenzie

All 61: CHL President Dan MacKenzie

Author: Steve McLean August 28, 2025 Duration: 1:30:27

The 2025-26 season is almost here, and we wanted to have something a little extra special for our season premiere episode, so Steve tracked down the President of the CHL Dan MacKenzie to talk all things CHL including future expansion, the new NCAA rules and TV/streaming coverage of the CHL among other topics.

Also, the big news that we have our own website now! Head on over to all60chlpod.com to check out all the latest news on the show, talent profiles, a review of all the gear we use and of course Steve's arena reviews!

Plus, you can follow the show on Twitter, Instagram and Bluesky all at the handle of all60chlpod.


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.
