Following the Moose game Wednesday night , we were stoked to welcome Reid Pennington to the pod! Reid is a young local goaltender who is fresh off 4 years in the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League, splitting his time between the Ft. Garry Twins and St. Boniface Riels. Pennington’s dream came true as he was summoned as the Emergency Backup for the AHL's Iowa Wild back in November. He goes into great detail about his experience, including getting the call from Jets Asst. GM 'Zinger' the day before, taking inthe full game day preparation with the squad, history lessons from Iowa's Head Coach as well as his in game experience. Reid even takes the time to reflect on some local goalie influences growing up. He opens up about his minor hockey days, including playing Triple-A hockey here in Winnipeg, as well as suiting up for his high school team. Our guest even sticks around to discuss the success of our Jets, and we hit the headlines around the league, including big John Scott's brush with death, and the retirement of Jarome Iginla's number 12 in Calgary. Timmy even breaks a trade live on air! Thanks to Reid for one hell of an interview, and we wish him good luck as he takes his talents across the Atlantic to The Netherlands on a school exchange program in just a few weeks!
