The OHL Podcast with Fred Wallace and Larry Mellott

from The OHL Podcast · host Mike Farwell

Two of the league's longest-serving broadcasters just so happen to be working for teams that are forever linked in OHL history. In 1989, the Guelph Platers moved to Owen Sound, bringing major junior hockey to Grey County and leaving the Royal City without a team for the first time since 1968. When the Platers arrived in Owen Sound, it opened a broadcasting opportunity for Fred Wallace, the only voice the team has ever known (they became the Attack in 2000). Meantime, in Guelph, major junior hockey would return in 1991 when the Hamilton Dukes re-located. Enter Larry Mellott, the only voice the Storm franchise has ever known. Geographically linked by Highway 6 and forever foes by division and history, somehow, Fred and Larry forged an unlikely friendship. Then again, when you listen to this podcast, you'll realize the friendship isn't all that unlikely at all. And boy, do these guys have stories! From swearing on the air to the glamorous life on the road, settle into the new season with these long-time OHL media members as your guide. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
