The most popular hockey podcasters on the planet brought some major attention to the Forest City this weekend with the annual Chiclets Cup.
The street hockey tournament, put on by the creators of the ’Spittin Chiclets’ podcast had hundreds of people gathered around the rink on Dufferin Avenue to watch the Big Deal Selects play Saturday in the semifinals.
“Myself, Paul Bissonnette and Rear Admiral, we started a pod (podcast) almost eight years ago now, just talking hockey and just having fun with the game,” said Ryan Whitney, a former NHL player who played 481 games with Pittsburgh, Anaheim and Edmonton.
“We've been lucky enough to meet so many different people throughout our playing careers and use the podcast interviewing different guys.”
The Chiclets Cup started in Detroit and has gone to Las Vegas and Buffalo, but this is the first time coming to Canada.
They worked with London promoter Brad Jones, the man behind HockeyFest, who has the street hockey rinks.
