It&#8217;s the August long weekend! Hockey may be on the back-burner for many, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that Nation Radio is hurting for things to discuss. Host Allan Mitchell talks about the Oilers with Jason Gregor, the Canucks with Thomas Drance, the NHL in general with Eric T., the AHL with Jim Byers and the WHL with Guy Flaming, with a little soccer talk with Scott Francis Winder in acknowledgement of the fact that when the thermometer is pushing 30 degrees all the talk can&#8217;t be about hockey.

This is Nation Radio.
