This week on Enjoying Orange Slices with Jeff & Ian 🍊🏒

Jeff's in Vegas, Ian's holding it down from Long Beach, and the boys welcome Doug MacLean (ex-NHL coach, ex-NHL GM, and all-time hockey character) for what quickly turns into an absolute monumentary of stories, laughs, and behind-the-scenes truth.

In This Episode:

• Doug explains the real meaning of "Orange Slices"… including the time a coach literally threw oranges at him between periods 🍊😂

Junior hockey realities: leaving home young, billets, pressure, and what's changed for players today

The NCAA eligibility shift + NIL ripple effects—how major junior, college, and development paths could get reshaped 🏫📈

Draft-day chaos: the Brulé vs. Kopitar debate, the Carey Price curveball, and why Doug says one decision cost him "about $30 million" 😳

Plus: Doug's new book update (Simon & Schuster), a quick Darren Millard cameo, and plenty of chirps along the way 📚🎙️

If this is the last one before Christmas (or "maybe ever" 🤣), it's a good one—like, comment, and subscribe for your weekly hockey fix!
