Slater Koekkoek walked away abruptly from a hockey career. In the two years since, he’s raked leaves, shovelled driveways and hauled old toilets. And he’s never been more fulfilled. This is a story about an athlete finding happiness on his own terms. theathletic.com/5152309/2024/0…
Super fun convo here about jumping to the other side of the fence and going from a reporter to a PR person. Thanks to @TallCanAudio for the thoughtful line of questions.
The #TCASummerSessions roll on as we welcome back a total beaut in @ian_mendes to discuss his move from the media to the #Sens, opening up the press box to new voices, the whole Quebec City thing, deleting #Leafs fans from CTC & most importantly - is he happy? Links below
2 goals, 8 assists, +9, and a gold medal 🥇 Congrats @shane_pinto on a fantastic tournament and winning the 2025 @IIHFHockey #MensWorlds 🏆 #GoSensGo
Super excited to spend an hour in my old time slot on @TSN1200. Please come armed with some fun ideas for what you’d like to see with the Sens. Promo ideas. Food and beverage. Ticketing. Media content. You name it. Fun way to spend a Friday afternoon.
Time for a summertime AMA on the Drive. Ask Mendes Anything. @ian_mendes will join us in studio from 4-5ish to talk anything Sens, his career, Lenny The Lynx. Anything @CJ_Stevenson @TSN1200 Fire your questions comments on here or text them to 📱 12-1200
This Hank Aaron tribute is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen at a professional sporting event. Wow.
Bob is the absolute gold standard in the industry. So kind to me when I worked at Sportsnet. Amazing teammate when I was at TSN 1200 and we did countless pregame radio interviews. All the best in retirement to an amazing broadcaster — who managed to be a better person.
The trade is one for none. Which is to say I’m exchanging my semi-retired TSN life of the last five years — doing the World Junior Championships, NHL Draft Rankings, a handful of Toronto Maple Leaf broadcasts, TradeCentre and Free Agent Frenzy — for a fully-retired life of doing…

Heading into the Green room before we make our first round pick! #GoSensGo
Thank you Kyle Turris for visiting with the kids at Roger Neilson Children's Hospice. Your kindness and smiles brought joy to our guests. It's always wonderful to see @Senators alumni give back and spend time at RNCH. #SensAlumni #CommunitySupport #ChildrensHospice
Ken Griffey Sr and Ken Griffey Jr coming out of the cornfield to have a catch. Happy Father’s Day
All the love in the world to Milt and his family tonight.
We are heartbroken by the passing of Chase Stegall. Wade Miller, President & CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, has shared a statement on behalf of the organization.
Very fun afternoon celebrating 10-year anniversary of @TallCanAudio. Matt is one of the most talented, hard-working guys in the business. Always love being a guest on his show. (Even if I’m the only guest who pushes for Michelob Ultra).
Hard to imagine a better crew getting together to celebrate 10 years of @TallCanAudio
THEY CHOSE US, WE BEAT THEM 🤩⚡️ #SurgingAhead | #OTTvMTL Ottawa Charge x @IntactInsurance
Absolutely electric atmosphere at TD Place tonight. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Get out to an @PWHL_Ottawa game. You won’t regret it.

Seeing our guy Simmer in the opening frame really hit me in the feels.
Our good friend @GatineauGreg created this piece of mastery for our little talk show "Playoffs Edition". It's amazing and you'll likely have to watch it several times to see all the easter eggs. @jasonyork33 @localpodcaster @GraemeNichols
We raised the @Senators flag at City Hall and officially reopened the Sens Mile on Elgin Street this afternoon! Thank you to Michael Andlauer, Cyril Leeder, Chris Neil, Jacqueline Belsito, @SensFoundation, @SpartaCat, @ian_mendes , Elgin Street businesses, councillors, and the…
