Today on Off the Roster, Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn dive into a busy day across the sports world as they welcome two of the most influential voices in Canadian basketball. Canada Basketball General Manager Rowan Barrett and newly appointed Senior Men’s National Team Head Coach Gordie Herbert join the show to discuss Canada’s latest basketball roster selections, the depth of Canadian talent on the international stage, the road ahead for the national program, and what fans can expect as the team continues its pursuit of global success. Barrett and Herbert also share insight into the culture being built around the program and Canada’s ambitions heading toward future international competitions. Herbert officially takes over as head coach in 2026 after leading Germany to a FIBA World Cup title and Olympic success, while Barrett continues to oversee the growth of one of the strongest basketball programs in the world.

The crew also turns its attention to the Stanley Cup Final as Game 1 gets underway tonight, breaking down the biggest storylines, key matchups, players to watch, and what could ultimately decide who lifts hockey’s ultimate prize. Plus, with the FIFA World Cup on the horizon, they discuss Canada Soccer’s latest preparations, the tune-up matches ahead, roster storylines, and what expectations should be for the Canadian men’s national team as excitement continues to build toward the biggest sporting event on the planet. It’s a jam-packed episode covering basketball, hockey, and soccer with insight from some of the biggest names in Canadian sport.
