A quick note from Farwell to start this episode: "I don't think I'm alone in saying that the 'Eastern Swing' through Kingston, Ottawa, and Peterborough for a Western Conference team is one of the most enjoyable trips we take every year, so allow me to reminisce for a moment as we start this week's show. It involves cheesecake. 'Nuff said."

With that out of the way, the guys also talk about the OHL talent that was on display at this year's Olympics and they speculate about the possibility of this year's Red Tilson Trophy winner (Most Outstanding Player) and Max Kaminsky Trophy winner (Most Outstanding Defenceman) coming from the same team. That's only happened three times in league history. Could this season be the fourth? Plus, you'll get your weekly Wraparound through every market in the league, a look at OHL Onside, a deep dive into The OHL Podcast mailbag (email us, we'll answer! ohlpodcast@rogers.com), and our Prospects of the Week.

As hard as we tried, we just couldn't avoid talking about those foul-smelling fans in Oshawa. It was an own goal by the Gens, and it's going to take a while to wash off the smell. But if we move past that, Dan and Farwell "scents" some expansion possibilities right here in Ontario. Yes, even in the Greater Toronto Area, a market the league refuses to exit. Plus, baseball swings are making their way into our great game and after three strikes, we hope they're out. And your weekly Wraparound gives you a glimpse at every market in the league.

Fans had questions, and The OHL Podcast gets answers about a couple of strange rules that came into focus this week. Plus, Farwell and Dan talk about surging attendance in unexpected markets, a recent string of suspensions, what makes the Soo scary, and a simple tweak to the standings that could renew interest everywhere as the playoffs approach.

All that, plus your weekly Wraparound, remembering a London legend, and answering your emails from the past week. Remember to send us an email anytime to ohlpodcast@rogers.com.

If you had to guess how long it's been since the OHL was without a 100-point scorer, how long would you guess it's been? The answer will likely surprise you, almost as much as you might be surprised that the OHL might not have a 100-point scorer this year. Farwell and Dan have a few theories, they also think the eight playoff teams in the West might already be set, and the weekly Wraparound looks at how tough it is to play in the OHL ... except for the Barrie Colts, who seem to have things mastered in Flint.

It's been a little more than two weeks since the OHL's trade deadlines and teams who jumped into the pool are already reaping rewards. It sets up an interesting and competitive final 8 weeks in both conferences. Farwell and Dan are also wondering where all those NCAA returnees ended up (we were told they were coming back, weren't we?) and at least one of the guys is wishing Hamilton well as hockey returns to the Steel City ... again. And your usual look at every OHL market and your Prospect of the Week is here, too.

The OHL is playing some inter-league games with the QMJHL and the winning teams earn points in the standings of their respective leagues. The intention is obvious, but what Farwell and Dan hope the OHL learns is that its fans are hungry to see new match-ups. Fortunately, the guys have already worked out a plan to allow the league to provide that very thing. A slight tweak to the OHL schedule and fans will have the fresh match-ups they crave. Also, with the trade deadline now in the rearview mirror, Farwell and Dan go to the Inbox to discuss the idea of trading first round picks. And, as always, your weekly Wraparound is here with a look at every market, even Niagara ... who got temporarily ignored. And, of course, that green Sudbury Wolves hat continues to make its rounds.

The most exciting time of the year in the OHL did not disappoint as there were swaps aplenty after the Christmas trade freeze lifted. Farwell and Dan have a full breakdown, and like you, they're mildly surprised at the number of teams in the mix. It will take another three months to determine which teams were the real contenders and which turned out to be pretenders, but there are at least eight highly energized fan bases right now. Plus, the weekly Wraparound gives you a glimpse at every market, and the green Sudbury Wolves hat given away at a recent game continues to make its way around the league.

The guys are back from the Christmas break just in time to start breaking down a flurry of trades, and the deals have only just begun with the deadline still 72 hours away. The question is, how many teams in the Western Conference think they can win this year? Dan and Farwell break down what we know so far, what they think might happen, and make a promise to explain everything next week. Plus, the sudden passing of former Commissioner David Branch sends shockwaves around the hockey world. And Farwell has a fancy new hat that's going to put on some miles before it arrives at its final destination.
