Sekeres & Price Show

Matt and co-host Jeff Paterson discuss which young Canuck is best poised for a breakout with Zeev Buium, Liam Ohgren, Tom Willander and other youngsters are staring down increased opportunity during the rebuild. They talk about Langley's Liam Pue, a top prospect for the 2028 draft, having a sensational Hlinka-Gretzky tournament and declaring himself as the Next One from B.C. They also cover Kelly Hrudey's departure from Rogers hockey coverage, and an eight-year deal for an unproven player?

Frank Corrado joins to talk Elias Pettersson skating at the Kings practice facility and the procedure for NHLers finding ice-time in the offseason. Frank talks about the proposed Britannia practice facility and the wisdom of an eight-year deal for Buium.

Whitecaps midfielder Jeevan Badwal joins to talk about the club since the World Cup break, Leagues Cup and one year of playing with Thomas Muller.

And B.C. Lions running back Zander Horvath joins after his CFL player-of-the-week performance. He talks about the Lions setting rushing records, Saturday's game vs Hamilton and his football journey from growing up in the shadow of Notre Dame's Golden Dome.

Matt and Jeff Paterson discuss Quinn Hughes' future and how Canucks fans would be sweating his lack of contract extension if he were still Vancouver's player; they talk about whether the die is cast for a Hughes brothers union in New Jersey and whether they'll be at the forefront of building NBA-style super teams in the NHL.

The guys also lay out the business case for MLB in Vancouver, admit that the idea isn't as far-fetched as initially believed having done some digging and gotten to more details about a well-curated plan on behalf of Zack Ross, the Vancouver developer who is leading the bid. Matt reports where the idea originated from, that there is significant money behind the group, that MLB's labour situation is working in the bid's favour, that a stadium site has been identified and that no team name has yet been selected, that it might be a matter of public consultation and a name-the-team contest.

The guys also talk about Elias Pettersson skating at the Kings' practice facility in L.A. -- there are optics there!

Cam Robinson joins to talk Canucks practice facility, Hughes' future, Malhotra/Cootes at the World Junior summer camp and draft prospects for 2027 and 2028.

FIFA vice-president Victor Montalgnani joins to say there are groups looking at the Caps, one local, one European beyond the Arthur Griffiths-led bid. He says he remains positive the team will stay and that a number of interested groups are there provided the club gets the management contract for BC Place. Victor also wraps the summer of soccer in Vancouver after the World Cup.
