In this episode of Lads on the Lake, we dive into the Blue Jays’ heroic run in the World Series — a fight that captured the hearts of Canadian fans even if the ending wasn’t what we hoped for.

Lad's on the Lake (Episode 2) Blue Jays Win, Canucks Rebuild?, and Montreal may just be that good.
We're back for Episode 2, and we've got a packed slate of Canadian sports to dissect!
We start on the diamond with a deep dive into the Toronto Blue Jays' dramatic journey: celebrating that huge, key win in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Yankees, and then trying to figure out what happened during the slow start against the Mariners in the ALCS. Are the bats back on track or is the pressure mounting?
Next up, it's time for our fan-favourite segment: "Buy or Sell!" We debate some of the hottest takes and most surprising headlines across the sports world.
Then, we transition to the ice as we check in on the NHL season so far. From the most electric starts to the biggest early-season disappointments, we discuss which Canadian teams are meeting expectations and which ones need to hit the reset button.
Shifting back to the amateur game, we break down the massive news regarding CHL players making the move to the NCAA. How will this rule change impact the development path for Canada's young hockey stars, and which programs are the biggest winners?
Finally, we wrap up the show by celebrating the best of the nation with our Canadians of the Week! Tune in for all the hot takes, in-depth analysis, and spirited debate you can handle!"

Lads on the Lake (Episode 1) The Canucks did what..... and Trey Youngsavage may be the goat.
Welcome to the very first episode of Lads on the Lake — the podcast where we dive deep into everything Canadian sports. We’re just a couple of passionate sports fans who love talking about the games, the players, and the moments that define Canada’s athletic spirit.
In this debut episode, we kick things off by introducing ourselves and sharing our vision for the show — a place for real talk, honest takes, and plenty of laughs about the sports we love.
We start with a breakdown of last night’s Blue Jays game, where the team fell 9–6. We highlight some key defensive errors and bullpen struggles, but also give credit where it’s due, spotlighting a few standout performances that kept the game exciting.
Next, we shift to the rink to talk about Connor McDavid’s new contract extension — $12 million for two years — and what it means for the Oilers and the league. Then we share our 2025–26 NHL season standing predictions, including a few bold takes that might stir up debate.
Finally, we wrap things up with our signature segment, “Canadian of the Week,” where we celebrate an athlete who went above and beyond in true Canadian fashion.
