Listen: TSN’s Ryan Rishaug joins Dean Millard – #HumboldtStrong and the impact on his life
TSN’s Ryan Rishaug has one of the best jobs in sports. He covers on a daily basis the best player in the world with Connor McDavid of the Oilers and he’s routinely front and centre at all the big events.
Some of those events however aren’t fun to cover. Like the story that began on April 6th, 2018 when 16 people died and 13 more suffered some with very serious injuries. Ryan tells the story of what it was like to cover such a life changing event and the impact it had on his life. He also had an interesting transition from a junior hockey career to a broadcaster covering the junior team he had just played on.
Recently Darren Dreger appeared on Sports and More and told a few stories about Rishaug, so Ryan dutifully defended himself and discussed the one big prank that backfired on him and if Bob McKenzie is off limits. Finally we discuss the Oilers (before the Neal Quad on Tuesday) and whether or not he’s willing to accept a few mistakes from Mike Smith due to his aggressive play (hint, he’s not!!!) It was a really fun chat with one of the most recognizable and talented reporters in Canada. Enjoy my talk with Ryan Rishaug of TSN.
After 22 years in the media world of television and radio, from Brandon, Manitoba to Red Deer, Alberta over to Regina, Saskatchewan and settling in Edmonton, Alberta, I found myself on the side of the desk with a pink slip in my hand, unexpectedly.
Over the next few weeks and with my mind racing to a million thoughts, I decided to embark on the journey of podcasting. My broadcasting background has mainly been in sports, and it will still be a big part of my podcasting, but I will be focusing on other subjects as well, from sports to cannabis education and more.

Popular roller-coaster at West Edmonton Mall amusement park to be removed


Canada’s largest shopping centre says a popular roller-coaster at its amusement park is being removed after nearly 40 years in operation.
West Edmonton Mall’s vice-president of parks and attractions says in a statement that while the Mindbender will be missed, the mall is excited to announce it is working on new plans for the site.
The Mindbender was known as the world’s tallest and longest indoor, triple-loop roller-coaster.
In 1986, three people were killed on the roller-coaster, which forced the mall to shut it down for a year for safety modifications.
Galaxyland initially opened in 1983, but was known as Fantasyland until 1995.
The indoor amusement park partnered with Hasbro in 2022 and features attractions licensed from the franchise.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 30, 2023.
