(00:01) On today's episode of WesternCentric, hosts Colton Davies (Daily Faceoff/The Nation-Network) and Matthew Zator (TheHockeyWriters) are pleased to be joined by not just one, but two guests on the show today. First up, the guys chat with Saskatoon Blades forward and NHL prospect Trevor Wong. Trevor was nice enough to join the show and talked to the guys about his decision to opt out of NCAA and play in the WHL, playing under Adam Foote with the Kelowna Rockets and his most recent season with the Blades.

(16:12) Next, the guys chat about the first couple of games that took place at the Memorial Cup tournament in Saint John. They run through the scores, who looked impressive, and what the outlook for the tournament could look like as the round-robin series begins to wind down. Then, on the topic of the Memorial Cup, the guys take a trip down memory lane to discuss the Edmonton Oil Kings' recent Memorial Cup trips, who was impressive on those runs, and where a few of those players are currently at in their careers.

While the Oil Kings remain a hot topic, Colton decided this week's "Bus Ride" segment would be on former 4th overall pick Griffin Reinhart who helped lead the Oil Kings to two WHL Championships and a Memorial Cup in 2013-14. The guys chat about his solid WHL career as well as his bumpy ride in the NHL.

Then, Colton runs through some final news and notes from around the league.

(1:11:06.7) As the show comes to an end, the guys are pleased to be joined by Ottawa Senators beat writer Dayton Reimer (TheHockeyWriters). Dayton joined the show to discuss a handful of WHL prospects available at the draft, and he shares his insight into the Korchinski vs Mateychuk debate.
