Coaches are hired to be fired and this week it was Al Letang's turn to be fired. But what next for the Sarnia Sting? Farwell and Dan also have updates on previous stories, and a look at which market -- Guelph or Kitchener -- has the best shot at being named host of the 2027 Memorial Cup. Along with your weekly Wraparound and its look at every OHL team, there's also the big story the league wishes we weren't talking about. But the entire hockey world is talking about "The Slash," so Farwell and Dan weigh in on the length of the looming suspension.

Is it too soon to start having the conversation about the 2025-26 Brantford Bulldogs and the best CHL teams ever? At least one guy on this podcast doesn't think so. And for anyone who does think it's too soon, how many more wins before you start?? The 'Dogs are dominant as we pass the quarter-mark of this season, the Ottawa 67's can no longer be called a surprise ... and they're getting a fancy new arena to boot! The weekly Wraparound gives you a glimpse into every OHL market, the guys remember Leon Stickle, and, of course, you'll get some insight into those USHL-CHL merger rumours.

Along with Farwell and Dan's Prospects of the Week, you'll also get some insight from a guy who coached top talent last summer at the U17s and U18s. You can listen to the entire interview with Mathieu Turcotte here.

Yes, it's true. Coaches are hired to be fired. But the decisions to fire one guy just because you can't fire 20 sometimes leave us scratching our heads, and that may never be more evident than now, as we find Mathieu Turcotte on the free agent market. He's got a decade-plus experience in the Q, a Coach of the Year trophy with a U18 AAA team, a Telus Cup, and a silver medal from the Canada Winter Games. He also spent last summer coaching some of the best young players in Canada at the World U17s, U18s, and Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, coming home with two gold medals and a bronze.

You'll appreciate these insights into coaching the modern athlete, preparing as a modern coach, and remembering some harrowing road trips in the Q. Plus, Turcotte brings us his own unique perspective on the OHL'ers we're watching today, having coached Beckham Edwards, Alessandro Di Iorio, Gavin Betts, and Ethan Belchetz.

If last weekend's crowds were any indication, some people like free candy (or baseball) more than junior hockey. But there's an easy fix for this.

The OHL's trade winds seem to be blowing early, and they're blowing strong in Brantford. Which begs the question, how good is this Bulldogs team? Is it historically good??

Farwell and Dan also have a look at every team in the league, and the picture isn't rosy in every market as we reach the quarter-pole. Plus, he played in the WHL before jumping to the NCAA. Now, he's back in the WHL again. Who's next?

A nightmare scenario plays out in Saginaw, where the OHL's new video review system gets one wrong. Like, way wrong. But now what? Then there's the ongoing Oscar Hemming saga in Kitchener, and what it means to a Rangers team that has hopes of hosting a Memorial Cup next year. Plus, there are problems in Barrie and the return of Emil Hemming ain't one.

Farwell and Dan are also reviewing NHL Central Scouting's list of players to watch, talking about the task ahead for the OHL's new VP, and wondering if it's more than mere coincidence that Team Canada will hold its World Junior training camp in Niagara Falls.

We're still coming down from the high that was Rivalry Week, which turns out to have been the idea OHL fans didn't know they needed. And as we come down from Cloud 9, the league's disciplinarians drop the hammer on a repeat offender. It's also starting to sound like the league is going to return to a live draft, and we're all for it.

Plus, the weekly Wraparound takes a look at every market around the OHL, a few swaps have us calling for the "All Brady Smith Team," and Farwell and Dan give you their Prospect of the Week.

Are the Ottawa 67's for real? Farwell and Dan discussing the surprising 6-0 start for the 67's, who were the last team to suffer a regulation loss this season. Plus, it's more than fans now upset with the league's new jersey partner. And do you remember bag skates? Or practices without pucks? Or getting off the bus to carry your equipment back to the rink? Things sure have changed in the way coaches can hold players accountable for a poor performance. And finally, with the NHL now underway, several big name OHL'ers are still in The Show. They could really help their OHL teams, but are they coming back?

It may still be early, but a couple of perennial Western Conference heavyweights are headed in opposite directions as the Windsor Spitfires surge and the London Knights struggle. Speaking of Western Conference heavyweights, what's going on back in Finland that's keeping Oscar Hemming from playing with the Kitchener Rangers? Farwell and Dan also do a deep dive into the CHL Team of the Century, giving you the scoop on a new documentary coming out later this month while talking about some big teams from the past that had to be in consideration for the title. And don't forget our weekly Wraparound as we check in on every market, plus the Prospect of the Week that focuses on an NHL draft eligible player that caught our eye.
