The Nielson Show - June 23rd, 2026 - Hour 1

Happy Wednesday, Oil Country! Fire up the text boards and lock in—The Nielson Show is live on Edmonton Sports Talk!   The absolute nuke of the NHL offseason finally detonated, and the dust is still settling across the hockey world. The Edmonton Oilers have officially named Mike Babcock the 19th head coach in franchise history. The boys are dedicating a massive chunk of today's show to breaking down the official hiring, the introductory press conference, and what this high-stakes gamble means for the locker room.   We got right into all the news from yesterday around the world of sport for Morning Announcements presented by The Rundle Park Short Course.   After the break, it was time for another YouTube Trev trade of the day. Another massive overpay from the youngster.   We capped off hour one with MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop to touch on team Canada playing Switzerland in The Wold Cup today.
