9:43
SPEAKER_01: Got within nine minutes of that shutout, his first of the season.
9:47
SPEAKER_01: And against a rival like Calgary, those points are always just a little bit sweeter with the Eagles settling into this homestand.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: That's a strong way to get it started.
9:59
SPEAKER_01: But it's a big weekend coming up.
10:01

SPEAKER_01: And who was the first person that kind of got you into the interest of the game?
11:44

11:52
SPEAKER_01: Uh my earliest memory would be just playing Timbit's hockey in Calgary.
11:56
SPEAKER_01: Uh I can't remember the name or of our team, but uh it was my dad that got me into it, and he'd always he coached me uh for a few years growing up, and I just loved it.

12:12
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, the flames are in town, right?
12:14
SPEAKER_01: Even now, like I I wear number 12 because I was just always a fan of Drum Againla growing up, so yeah, like and obviously, yeah, just Calgary.

12:25
SPEAKER_01: What did you like about uh what drew you towards a guinla?

12:46
SPEAKER_01: I'd always growing up, I'd watch his highlight reels, and he's just just a nasty player.
12:51
SPEAKER_01: Did you try to emulate him on the ice, whether it's his pattern it's slap shot or his physical player, or was there like another player that you tried to, you know, you're on the ice, you score a goal, and you're like, oh Mick David or something like that?
13:03
SPEAKER_01: Well, my my f favorite player has always been well, Ovi, Alex Ovechkin.

13:13
SPEAKER_01: So I don't know.
13:14

13:19
SPEAKER_01: Well, we see on the power play at the top of the circle, just trying to do your best, Alexander Ovechkin.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: You got a hard shot out there.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: Um, what age did hockey stop being something you did for fun, and then something you wanted to pursue seriously, where you're going to camps, and you're like, no, I actually want to take this as high as I can go.

14:21
SPEAKER_01: Did you just talk to a dad, coach, anything like that?
14:24
SPEAKER_01: What made you make that decision between hockey and lacrosse?
14:28
SPEAKER_01: Uh really, I was just much better at hockey.
14:31
SPEAKER_01: So I kind of just stuck to that.
14:33
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, and when hockey was taking up all my extra time, I was like, all right, then no more, no more lacrosse.
14:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I had a pretty impressive season.

14:51
SPEAKER_01: What do you remember most about that season in your 17 year?

14:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was yeah, that was a massive uh boost in my confidence.
15:01
SPEAKER_01: I was just after I got cut from U18, was not feeling the best, came down, decided all a bunch of my friends on the team.
15:07
SPEAKER_01: So it was nice hanging out with them every day at the rank and spending good time with them.
15:12
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, scoring, putting up numbers is just felt really nice and it was able to get my confidence up.
15:18
SPEAKER_01: And obviously, so you talk about getting cut there.

15:27
SPEAKER_01: Um, who did you turn to to you know keep that mindset up, to get keep that positive mindset up where you're not getting down and then it affects your play on the ice?

15:42
SPEAKER_01: Like it sucks, obviously, but I just have to keep pushing forward and my time will come.
15:48
SPEAKER_01: Was there maybe when you got cut, or maybe there's another moment in your career?
15:53
SPEAKER_01: Was there ever doubts that you thought that junior hockey was even attainable, that you would be playing, you know, junior hockey here in Canmore, getting looked at by other teams?
16:03
SPEAKER_01: Was there a point in your career where you're like, man, maybe maybe this isn't going to happen?
16:08
SPEAKER_01: No, I never not too often have I ever felt that.
16:11
SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, like maybe just after me and Kyle, I was like, oh, this it's gonna be a hard road, but other than that, I felt like I was always up to skill level.
16:20
SPEAKER_01: I was playing the same year I got caught, I was playing preseason games for Camor, so I was getting kind of used to the hockey.

17:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'd always say uh rather Emmanuel Hudson or Logan Ziegler.
17:16
SPEAKER_01: Both uh were 19-year-olds, my first year.
17:20
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, Huddy, assistant captain, he was just such a great guy, always the happiest guy of the rank, always including everyone.
17:28
SPEAKER_01: I think my first week, or maybe like yeah, probably in the first week, Vinus all over, just had a nice time at his house.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: It was like I was just enjoying myself.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: I was like, this is junior high.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: That's great.
17:39
SPEAKER_01: Was there a welcome to the AJHL moment, maybe in your first game, uh, a big hit or something like that?
17:45
SPEAKER_01: Was there a kind of a welcome where you just had to take a step back and be like, whoa, this is kind of the big time here?
17:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if it was my first game.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: The the biggest like welcome I felt was after I scored my first goal.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: It was just an incredible feeling.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: Uh the whole team was just so happy.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: It was who is it against?
18:05
SPEAKER_01: Uh Sherwood Park.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
18:07
SPEAKER_01: So now in the BC, what what was it?
18:09
SPEAKER_01: Was it snipe, tipping, dirty goal?
18:11
SPEAKER_01: What was it?
18:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I uh came down, sniped from top of the circles, and I am.
18:17
SPEAKER_01: I just shot it and I was lucky enough it went in, and I don't even know what to do with.
18:21
SPEAKER_01: I'm just kind of blocked out.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: You you did that you did me where every time I get a puck at the plane, I just close my eyes and shoot.
18:26
SPEAKER_01: I don't even try to pick corners, and then sometimes it goes in, most times it doesn't.
18:29
SPEAKER_01: When you look at the organization today, so look back to when you were 17 to now.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: What's the biggest difference you've seen from the team you walked in with and now the team that you're part of now in your 20-year-old season?
18:43
SPEAKER_01: The biggest difference I can say is probably the support.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: Like I started off, we were probably getting like 400 fans at each game.
18:50
SPEAKER_01: Now we're pretty much selling out each game.
18:52
SPEAKER_01: Fans are loving it.
18:53
SPEAKER_01: There's so much more support from the community.
18:56
SPEAKER_01: Talk about that Aussie corner.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: That first time you came down.
19:00
SPEAKER_01: When did that celebration start?
19:02
SPEAKER_01: Actually, I believe it started uh my captain, my first year.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: I think one game he just jumped in the glass and we all started doing it.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: It's Roadie Tallman, and I think that's where it started.
19:12
SPEAKER_01: So so what what's that feeling just to celebrate with the fans there to go down at either end and just slam to the boards?
19:20
SPEAKER_01: How what's that feeling?
19:21
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's such a great feeling.
19:22
SPEAKER_01: Just seeing them all cheer.
19:23
SPEAKER_01: Like this is their town, their their community, and we're we're just playing in it, but it's a great feeling, and it also just to boost morale for the team.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then obviously last season's big championship victory there.
19:35
SPEAKER_01: You've seen a lot of players come and go.
19:37
SPEAKER_01: You've been a main say.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: I think you're actually the longest-serving Eagle right now on the team with you, Cohen Dows, Aiden Touchak.
19:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, how's the culture inside that dressing room changed over the years?
19:47
SPEAKER_01: And what do you think helped turn this organization around to a championship team?
19:52
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I'd say just our whole team is just so close.
19:55
SPEAKER_01: Like, there's it's not divided how it like possibly used to be.
19:59
SPEAKER_01: Like, obviously, we all still did stuff together, but now just everyone loves everyone, and there's no no conflict really.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: Now you're one of the older guys, younger guys looking up to you.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: What's that transition to being like?
20:13
SPEAKER_01: You're wearing a letter this year from going to somebody who you know is in the dress room, maybe somebody's not, you know, asking you questions, looking up to you.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: Now you're the guy.
20:22
SPEAKER_01: You're one of the guys, you've been around here for a long time, you know what it means to be a cam or eagle.
20:27
SPEAKER_01: Um, do you ever catch yourself doing things that older guys used to do to you?
20:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, a little bit.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, there are there are times, and it does feel weird just because I can still remember the time where I was like, oh wow, that's that's what they did to me.
20:43
SPEAKER_01: And it's just how how it goes.
20:46
SPEAKER_01: In your first two seasons, I hate to bring this up.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: A couple of tough playoff losses.
20:51
SPEAKER_01: There, game seven lost to Drum Heller 2025, a year later, but you won the championship.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: You wrote raised the franchise's first AJHL championship.
21:01
SPEAKER_01: What changed in that group from 2025 to 2016 to allow you guys to finally get over the hump and lift that trophy?
21:09
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, I don't know, probably just a lot of work, a lot of work, and definitely some definitely some bad blood.
21:18
SPEAKER_01: Like us my first year we lost to white court in seven.
21:22
SPEAKER_01: Then um, and yeah, then my second year we lost to drum in seven, which both times just sucked, and it just felt so nice being them in playoffs, especially white court for the championship on their home ice as well.
21:35
SPEAKER_01: Is there something about like that elation when that final buzzer rank?
21:40
SPEAKER_01: What was the feeling just being with this organization for so long?
21:44
SPEAKER_01: How did you feel?
21:45
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I was just shocked.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: I was just I was I I couldn't believe we did it.
21:49
SPEAKER_01: I was just I was so happy.
21:51
SPEAKER_01: Just getting to celebrate probably the one of the best moments of my life.
21:54
SPEAKER_01: When hopefully this year we can raise that again.
21:57
SPEAKER_01: That'd be Centennial Cup.
21:59
SPEAKER_01: How was the centennial?
22:00
SPEAKER_01: Cup in terms of you're playing against the top players in each league.
22:04
SPEAKER_01: Just how was the competition?
22:05
SPEAKER_01: Was it a little bit of a change playing against teams that you've never seen before?
22:10
SPEAKER_01: Or were you guys felt did you feel like you were prepared based on film and everything like that?
22:15
SPEAKER_01: Or did it take a little bit of you know, like that first period to get used to teams there?
22:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it definitely took a minute, like definitely down uh the in the east, they play much different style of hockey than I'd say the west, but so that was definitely a different change, but we like we adapted and we figured out.
22:32
SPEAKER_01: Like, unfortunately, we did lose, but it happened.
22:36
SPEAKER_01: It came you guys came close though.
22:37
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: You guys came close.
22:39
SPEAKER_01: How are you as a player when you first came to Camor compared to you are now?
22:43
SPEAKER_01: What about your game have has changed a little bit that you feel like you've improved compared to that 17-year-old that used to play for the Buffaloes?
22:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well playing in U17, I was able to just stay count through everyone, and it was much different style of defense than AJ, obviously.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: So it was um it was a big adjustment uh coming in and relearning pretty much everything.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: First things first, you have to learn the defense, as that's the most important thing to win a championship.
23:15
SPEAKER_01: It was uh it was definitely a process.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, we're at the beginning of the season here, we're not thinking about the end, but have you started thinking about life after junior hockey?
23:26
SPEAKER_01: Um, whether it's playing at the next level, pursuing an education, or exploring exploring opportunities outside the sport.
23:33
SPEAKER_01: Have you thought about that at all?
23:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, it's it comes up.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: I I try to look a little bit in the moment and just enjoy enjoy the time I still have, but yeah, it definitely definitely makes you think about what what you're gonna do and your uh your future and what how you're gonna attack it.
23:50
SPEAKER_01: Any ideas what you want to do for the rest of your life?
23:53
SPEAKER_01: Is university in the cards, or what what would you want to you know grow up to be?
23:58
SPEAKER_01: I wanted to be a firefighter, and then my dad said that you're 90 pounds soaking wet, you would die and everybody else would die.
24:05
SPEAKER_01: So what would you uh want to be there?
24:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I've I've actually also been wanting to do fire.
24:10
SPEAKER_01: I'd I'd want to do school first, get an education, uh hopefully through hockey.
24:14
SPEAKER_01: And then from there, yeah.
24:16
SPEAKER_01: My my dad's a firefighter, my mom's a nurse, Seth has a cop.
24:20
SPEAKER_01: So we have all the blood in the emergency blood in the line.
24:23
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it'd be and it's it'd just be such a fun job to have.
24:28
SPEAKER_01: Look out, Bryson and Singer, firefighter in your future, pulling cats out of trees, that kind of thing.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: Couple more questions here for you there, Singer.
24:37
SPEAKER_01: When you look back as a kid who first started playing hockey in Calgary, what do you think that person, that kid would be most surprised to learn about the journey you've had so far?
24:47
SPEAKER_01: I don't really know what you would think.
24:49
SPEAKER_01: Uh oh, you might be disappointed I'm not in the NHL, but maybe one day there's so obviously what do you still want to accomplish before your time as an eagle is over?
24:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it'd be nice to win Satanian cow.
25:02
SPEAKER_01: That's that's the overall, that's the main goal.
25:04
SPEAKER_01: And then that'd just be the the greatest moment.
25:07
SPEAKER_01: Alright, well, so Singer, we're gonna do a shot clock, 30-second shot clock kind of activity.
25:13
SPEAKER_01: So I'm just gonna give you a question.
25:14
SPEAKER_01: First thing that pops to your head.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: Alright, let's do it.
25:17

SPEAKER_01: That's that's the correct answer there.
25:26
SPEAKER_01: If you could attend any sporting event in the world, what would it be?
25:31
SPEAKER_01: Probably like a game seven Stanley Cup Finals.
25:34
SPEAKER_01: That is also the correct answer.
25:36
SPEAKER_01: What's your most embarrassing song on your playlist?
25:39
SPEAKER_01: I don't really have too many embarrassing songs on definitely have a playlist with a bunch of white girl music.

SPEAKER_01: I also have that too.
25:49

26:25
SPEAKER_01: I'll go Alex Imagin.
26:28

26:33
SPEAKER_01: What's your favorite book?

27:34
SPEAKER_01: A big thank you to Singer for joining us this week.
27:37
SPEAKER_01: It's always good to hear about the journey that brings a player to Canmore, just how you grow as a player coming in from AAA, where you're probably a dominant player, one of the best players in the league, and working your way up to that point again.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: As you know, watching Eagles games this season, he's an impact player.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: He's a quiet leader, he leads by example.
28:00
SPEAKER_01: And I'm looking really forward to seeing his career play out here with the Eagles.
28:05
SPEAKER_01: Thank you again to Bryson and thanks to Patty Shack Burger Bar for presenting our weekly player interview.
28:12
SPEAKER_01: And let's take a look at the week ahead.
28:17
SPEAKER_01: Looking ahead, the Eagles have two big tests coming to Alex Cletter Arena this weekend, starting Friday night against the Grand Prairie Storm.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: Canmore and Grand Prairie both enter this weekend at 6 2, 12 points apiece, on top of the KJHL standings.
28:35
SPEAKER_01: The Eagles have scored 39 goals through just eight games.
28:38
SPEAKER_01: That's five per night.
28:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, the Storm have allowed only 22.
28:43
SPEAKER_01: It's a battle of great offense against great defense.
28:47
SPEAKER_01: And it's going to be a good one Friday night.
28:49
SPEAKER_01: Make sure you get your tickets at CamoreEagles.ca slash tickets.
28:53
SPEAKER_01: And on Saturday, first time we're going to see them, the Fort McMurray Oil Barons.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: They've only played five games up to this point, but they are 4-1 on the season.
29:04
SPEAKER_01: And including a perfect 2-0 record away from home.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: The road numbers are particularly impressive for the Oil Barons.
29:11
SPEAKER_01: Eight goals scored, only three goals allowed over two wins.
29:15
SPEAKER_01: They have scored 18 and allowed 15.
29:19
SPEAKER_01: So a little bit more of a balanced attack.
29:21
SPEAKER_01: Let's see if the Eagles can take advantage on Saturday.
29:23
SPEAKER_01: Once again, get your tickets.
29:26
SPEAKER_01: I want to make a little bit of a challenge out there to our Eagles faithful.
29:31
SPEAKER_01: Let's pack the house Friday, Saturday night.
29:34
SPEAKER_01: Let's get loud.
29:35
SPEAKER_01: Let's stack that beer tower all the way to the top of the glass.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: Let's cheer our boys on.
29:42
SPEAKER_01: Let's sell it out.
29:42
SPEAKER_01: Let's see if we can sell out both games.
29:44
SPEAKER_01: That's my challenge for you.
29:46
SPEAKER_01: Like I said, you can get your tickets at CamoreEagles.ca slash tickets.
29:51
SPEAKER_01: Both games get underway at 7 o'clock.
29:53
SPEAKER_01: And the player of the week this week, don't worry, I did not forget, before we end today's show, it's gotta go to Bryson InSinger as well.
30:01
SPEAKER_01: Aiden to Chuck, it was close, but InSinger scored both games, including a three-point night on Saturday.
30:08
SPEAKER_01: Maybe because we interviewed him as well, gave him a little bit of push above Aiden to Chuck.
30:13
SPEAKER_01: Aiden to Chuck was the remaining AJHL player of the week.
30:17
SPEAKER_01: Let's give it to Stinger here this week.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: He is your Eagles weekly star of the week.
30:23
SPEAKER_01: Great job, Stinger.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: Let's see if we can keep that momentum rolling heading into a big weekend, a big measuring stick weekend to see just where the Eagles will sit for the rest of the season.
30:32
SPEAKER_01: And that will do it here for episode four.
30:36
SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much for joining us.
30:39
