Cam Moon can rest easy knowing he's paid his dues for his lifetime membership in the 'Goalie Guild'.
The former WHL netminder did a bang up job of snagging two other prominent former WHL goalies to be our intermission guest for Friday's Rebels/Rockets broadcast on 106.7 The Drive.
Our 1st intermission guest, Bill Ranford. The former Conn Smythe winner with the Oilers is a goaltending consultant with the Los Angeles Kings nowadays. Yup, he's a Stanley Cup champion again. Bill and I chatted about a few things ranging from his thoughts on current Rebels goalies Patrik Bartosak and Bolton Pouliot. We also talked about his rare chance to spend some time back in Red Deer and check out some of his favorite locales. LISTEN HERE
On any normal night, having one great guest in a broadcast would be fun enough. Not this time around. Mooner dipped into the goalie pool a second time to arrange a visit from Shane Bendera, the man who backstopped the Red Deer Rebels to their Memorial Cup title in 2001. Friday marked the first time Bendera had been in the Enmax Centrium for a game since his playing days ended. The game just happened to feature the two teams he used to play for (he was traded from Red Deer to Kelowna midway through the 2001-02 season). Shane was a fun guy to chat with and definitely enjoyed his night at the rink with his family. LISTEN HERE
COMING UP ON THE BLOG... Last Saturday, I chatted with Jamie Hislop who is a scout with the Minnesota Wild. Of course, we talked about Mathew Dumba. Hislop also gave us an update on former Rebels netminder Darcy Kuemper. Sounds like things are going pretty well for Kemps. I'll try to get Jamie's comments posted in the next day or so.
ALSO... be sure to check out today's brand new episode of REBELS THIS WEEK featuring Brady Gaudet's "goal from the parking lot"
