Leamington Flyers’ sniper Colton Smith is host Alex Bastyovanszky’s special guest on this week’s edition of The OJ All Access Podcast.
A candid and witty Smith – who leads the Ontario Junior Hockey League with 40 goals in 45 games – covers a lot of ground, and ice, on the pod including:
- his long-distance relationship with his dad, Los Angeles Kings assistant coach D.J. Smith – who we learned watches and critiques OJHL games via FloHockey in the NHL team’s offices in California.
- transitioning from the Ontario Hockey League to the OJHL, where on average players are older and bigger, Smith notes.
- how he came to be a Leamington Flyer. It involves golf.
- his history-making future as the first OJHLer/former OHLer to commit to an NCAA Division 1 school (Clarkson) for next season.
The OJ All Access Podcast is available every Wednesday at 6 p.m. on platforms, including the OJHL’s Facebook, X and Instagram accounts, plus Twitch and Spotify.
Host Bastyovanszky and guests from across the league “talk everything OJHL” during the podcast. Bastyovanszky is a veteran junior hockey TV host/producer/videographer.
