    Mar 2 2026
    Welcome to the very first episode of The NOHA Show!

    In this debut edition, Director of Hockey Operations Jacob Brown and Executive Director Jason Marchand dive into what development really means in Northern Ontario hockey.

    It goes far beyond skating drills and scoring goals. From first shifts and late entry into the game, to supporting coaches, volunteers, and officials, this episode explores how the NOHA is working behind the scenes to grow and protect the game across the North

    A major highlight of the episode is a special interview with NHL forward Justin Brazeau of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Justin reflects on growing up in Northern Ontario, staying home to develop, overcoming adversity, and why having fun as a kid was the foundation of his journey to the NHL.

    This episode sets the tone for what’s ahead. Honest conversations about minor hockey, real challenges, real solutions, and real pride in playing the game in Northern Ontario.
