It's the most wonderful time of the year to be an OHL fan! Unless you're worried about seeing a player you love traded to another team. But if you're hoping your team enters the trade market and strengthens the line-up for the second half, this is the time of year for you. Farwell and Dan look at the teams setting the pace and others that are expected to join the mix. Who might go where is anybody's guess, but this is the season for putting things on your wish list. Plus, we had a little chat with the CHL following last week's episode and we'll give you an update on that. Also, if you're cheering for Team Canada at the World Juniors this Christmas, you have to like your chances, don't you?

The weekly Wraparound is here with a look at every OHL market, you'll hear our picks for Prospect of the Week, and the league's new VP of Hockey Operations joins the show for a chat. The only place you can get all of that is here, so tell a friend!

There was a clear conflict of interest on the Memorial Cup selection committee. Some argue there was even more than one conflict on the committee. And while the fans argue about sour grapes or undeserving hosts, Dan and Mike are trying to tell the real story. Guelph prepared a great bid and deserves every one of the perks that come with hosting the Memorial Cup. But we can't lose sight of the problem that's been unearthed here by some excellent reporting, and that's the problem Dan and Mike are focusing on. In the midst of it all, the Brantford Bulldogs have found a forever home and Max McCue is on the move ... again. Plus, your weekly Wraparound is paying attention to every market and a veteran referee gets a fitting send-off.

James Boyd has basically done it all. He's played in the OHL, coached, been a general manager, and now he's the league's new Vice-President of Hockey Operations. In this feature interview, we talk to Boyd about what led him to this role, what it will take for the OHL to remain competitive in the new junior hockey landscape, and what a healthy league looks like to him. As a guy who used to complain to the league office, he may already have developed a new appreciation for what it's like on the other side of those phone calls.
