Radio Western

The CFL Combine will see Western football’s Keegan O’Neil and Jerome Rancourt competing in front of pro coaches in Edmonton this week. Here’s what they had to say to Alex McComb on Thursday about what they believe pro teams will see on their 2025 game tapes.

Tune into 94.9 FM and our website at 1pm tomorrow for interviews with 3 Western 🏈 players — Conner Franzisi, Sandro Pierini and Sam La Roue — who competed at the CFL Invitational Combine on March 6. Keep listening for a recap on the event and a preview on the national combine.

From @FriedgeHNIC to Stephen Brunt and @DannySpxp (and @kierandrover!), Radio Western has had some big sports voices over the years. Now add Thomas Irons to the list. And his bananas. Here's some bits of his @WesternMustangs 7-hour triple-header from this past weekend.

What a finish! TMU scores 1:15 into OT, but ruled it was kicked in. A scant 9 seconds later, Alyssa Wouda scored on a rebound to give Western a 2-1win. The Mustangs move to 8-8 on the season and inch closer to a playoff spot. ⁦@WesternMustangs⁩ ⁦@tmubold⁩

2:13 to go in the 3rd and TMU ties it up! Eden Dusome with her team leading 3rd of the season. Heading to overtime (second game in a row for Western). ⁦@WesternMustangs⁩ ⁦@tmubold⁩

Just past the 10 minute mark of the 3rd period, Mackenzie Lizotte scores for Western. Mustangs up 1-0. ⁦@WesternMustangs⁩ ⁦@tmubold⁩

No score after the 1st period as Western hosts the TMU Bold in OUA women’s hockey.

Tonight on Radio Western, I will be having a special Christmas Eve radio show with my 3 kids. There will be lots of “alternative” Christmas songs, witty banter and some live singing (not by me, but by my talented kids). The fun goes from 9:30 to midnight.

It was exactly 45 years ago that CHRW Radio Western broadcast their very first Mustang men’s hockey game. On November 14, 1980, Bernie Morrow (play) and Steve Kopp (colour) called the game, a 14-5 win by Western over Brock. Steve is at tonight’s game vs TMU and will post updates

@SickosCommittee Actually, it was the Guelph coaching staff who were losing their minds over getting the victory.
