WesternCentric Episode 19: Former WHL commentator Jeff Paterson

WesternCentric Podcast

(00:01) On today's episode of WesternCentric, hosts Colton Davies (Daily Faceoff/ Nation Network) and Matthew Zator (TheHockeyWriters) are pleased to be joined by former Kamloops Blazers play-by-play announcer, Jeff Paterson. Jeff joined the show to discuss what it was like entering the sports media world back in the early 90s', what it was like calling the 1995 Memorial Cup, Jarome Iginla scoring 63 goals and a few more stories. Nowadays, you can catch Jeff on the Rink Wide Podcast, as well as the Sekeres and Price Show.

(035:00) Then, the guys switch back to their regular show. Colton open's up the pod to discuss the WHL awards, and in typical WesternCentric fashion, the guys go down a rabbit hole this time talking about the Dallas Stars. Then the guys chat a little bit about the ongoing WHL Championship series, who has been impressive, and why an NHL club needs to take a shot at Thunderbirds goalie Thomas Millic.

Colton then debuts a brand NEW segment to the podcast called "The Bus Ride", a weekly segment where we will take a deep dive into a former WHL player's career, this week we take a look at longtime Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Phillips. As the show wraps up, the guys discuss the NHL Draft Combine and why Swift Current Broncos defenceman Owen Pickering seemed to impress a lot of scouts.
