TCA Ep1441: Legendary Broadcaster Paul Romanuk on Hockey Canada, World Juniors, Spangler Cup & More

One of our favourite shows of the year is always touching base in December with legendary Canadian sports broadcaster Paul Romanuk to talk some "Holiday Hockey."First we chat with Paul about his new book (linked below) before getting in to the way Hockey Canada chooses it's rosters after some controversy this week around World Juniors and 4 Nations Face-off selections. With the WJC just weeks away in Ottawa, we ask Paul to compare the tournaments he worked in Canada vs the ones in Europe. And finally we get in to the reasons why the Spangler Cup is underappreciated as a destination vacation for hockey fans.Pick up your copy of Hockey Superstars for the young hockey fan in your life here: https://amzn.to/3Bh4ZIkTCA Gift Guide.Books.Nazem Kadri - Dreamer: https://amzn.to/3Oz2VyhNahlah Ayed - The War We Won Apart: https://amzn.to/3D3V35l Deryck Whibley (Sum 41) - Walking Disaster: https://amzn.to/3Zbwxa1 Alan Shipnuck - LIV & Let Die: https://amzn.to/3CPt1L5Home and Away - Mats Sundin: https://amzn.to/4gbAkelBob Woodward - WAR: https://amzn.to/4gbAqCJMike Commito - Habs 365: https://amzn.to/3Zg6SwHAssorted Odds & Ends.A very portable (and very poachable) fold up camping chair: https://amzn.to/3Zcjc1iBe on Team Kate and get the Yeti mug: https://amzn.to/3B9Ti69Be on team JJ and get the Stanley mug: https://amzn.to/49hzhHrApple AirPods Pro 2 - USB c: https://amzn.to/4fPPvKdSonos Roam 2 speaker: https://amzn.to/3B8xTKySonos Beam Soundbar: https://amzn.to/3BaRSZ7Podcast StuffAudio Technica ATR 2100x microphone: https://amzn.to/4fQiDB9Blue Encore 200 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3ZhxQEaRode Podmic USB: https://amzn.to/3Oyiu9zElectro voice RE 320 microphone: https://amzn.to/3OyhTERAudio Technica ATHM50X Headphones: https://amzn.to/3Oy2O69Focusrite Vocaster 2: https://amzn.to/41aURLEZoom Podtrak P4: https://amzn.to/3ZckucEYamaha MG12XU Mixer: https://amzn.to/3B8s9R1M3 MacBook Pro: https://amzn.to/4fO3rET2024 M4 iMac: https://amzn.to/49fwD4W Follow TCA on bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tallcanaudio.bsky.socialFollow TCA on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@tallcanaudioFollow TCA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tallcanaudioFollow TCA on Instagram: https://instagram.com/tallcanaudio?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Follow TCA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tallcanaudio
