Trade Deadline Recap and The Life of an OHL Scout (Featuring Jonathan Kyriacou)
For the first 30 minutes of this episode, the guys recap some of the biggest deals from Monday’s Trade Deadline, and declare the winners and losers. Later on in the show, the guys are joined by a good friend of the podcast, Jonathan Kyriacou (Keer-ee-a-koo). Jon is a well-spoken guy with a great hockey mind. He has experience in scouting and player development for various hockey franchises, including the Wellington Dukes of the OJHL, the Ottawa 67s of the OHL, and even the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL. Jon worked under some great hockey names like Brendan Shanahan and Lou Lamoreillo, and even directly reported to current Leafs General Manager, Kyle Dubas during his time with the organization. This interview highlights some of the often-forgotten behind-the-scenes aspects of the game that we all love. It’s a must-listen. We hope you enjoy.
