THIS WEEK'S EPISODE

OHD ON AIR EPISODE 82 (July 11, 2022) IHL scoring legend and Stanley Cup champion Jock Callander

Lake Erie Monsters Vice President Jock Callander holds the International Hockey League's all-time scoring record with 1,402 points. His prolific career saw him score 100+ points five different times in the IHL, and he would have scored more if not for spending parts of five seasons in the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins - including being a part of their 1992 Stanley Cup championship team.
