Summary

Now entering our twelfth season in 2005-06, RBC Junior Hockey Magazine is a weekly 25 minute radio show that profiles the excitement, news and insight of Junior Hockey across Canada. The show is a "Magazine" format program that stands very well on its own, or is perfectly suited as a "pre" or "post" game show for local play-by-play broadcasts.

In its first year of syndication in 1993-94, RBC Junior Hockey Magazine was broadcast in 28 markets across Canada. This year, still independently produced, we will be aired on over 40 markets and will be heard in every Canadian Province and Territory coast to coast.

The topics...??? World Junior Championships, Memorial Cup, All-Star Games, the top NHL prospects, personalities, leading scorers, streaking teams, the Royal Bank Cup, Western Hockey League updates, Ontario Hockey League updates, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League updates, Junior A profiles, news and events...all presented with the "inside" information about Canada's passion and intrigue with our national winter sport.

Canada is the world's leader in Junior Hockey. RBC Junior Hockey Magazine is Canada's only nationally syndicated radio program that exclusively covers this area of our sporting and cultural fabric...
