All 61: A CHL Podcast

It's our 2025-26 season finale episode of All 61: A CHL Podcast. On this episode Steve Clark is here to go over the OHL heading into the off season and what next season might look like as Steve McLean is downright giddy about the trades the Guelph Storm have made ahead of hosting next year's Memorial Cup. Clark gives his thoughts on Kitchener's dominating Memorial Cup performance; the guys discuss what a success the in-person OHL draft was and how the new NCAA dynamic might not all be doom and gloom despite more players than ever making the jump. We appreciate your support and might pop back on during the summer if any news warrants but for now it's time to kick up our heels and relax for the summer. We will be back in September for the 2026-27 season! Stay tuned to our social media channels for any updates @all60chlpod as well as our website all60chlpod.com.

We continue to wrap up the 2025-26 season as we head back out west one last time to chat with Swift Current's own Ryan Switzer to get his take on the Memorial Cup and how the two WHL representatives faired. Can the dub ever win this tournament again? We also get Ryan's super early takes on who might be contenders in 2026-27, go through some trades and of course some wrestling talk to wrap it all up!

The Memorial Cup might be in the rearview mirror, but we decide to take one last look at each of the three leagues before calling it a season. First up Patrick McNeil is back to cover a ton of stories that have been going around the QMJHL. First up last week the Q had its annual draft and it made some headlines with all the trades it had, with one pick in particular. The Eagles have already loaded up in a big way for the 2026-27 season. Who else are the early favourites for next season and who is looking at a grim future? Four QMJHL teams have begun the process on bidding to host the 2028 Memorial Cup. All that and a ton more on this packed episode of All 61: A CHL Podcast!
