[0:00] - The intro for Season 21 of The Pipeline Show

[1:14] - Guy begins the episode with a recap of Friday night action in the CHL, USHL and NCAA plus News and Notes including thoughts on reports that the CHL may "annex" the USHL "and the NHL is all for it".

[22:26] - The pre-season pick for many as the Team To Beat in the CHL was the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. No longer the top team in the QMJHL, were the Armada overhyped or are there reasons for a recent slump? The radio voice of the Armada, Cédrik Blondin shares his thoughts on that.

Guest 2 - Kyle Chipchura has gone from captain of the Prince Albert Raiders, to 1st round pick of the Montreal Canadiens, well over a decade in the NHL with other stops in Anaheim and Phoenix to now being back in the WHL and on the bench with the Edmonton Oil Kings. An interview 21 years later than first planned, this was definitely worth the wait as he reflects on his career highs and lows.

Guest 3 - The current leader amongst WHL defencemen in scoring, Ryan Lin of the Vancouver Giants is near the top of every NHL scout's watch list. Has his start satisfied him? That's just one of the first questions that I was able to ask of him as we met for another edition of the 2026 Draft Spotlight.
