OverDrive - June 10, 2026 - Hour 1 - Ashton McCulloch

Ashton McCullough, a Kingston-born golfer and former Michigan State standout, officially launched his professional career at the RBC Canadian Open, where he shot a stunning 59 on Cataraqui Golf and Country Club — an unofficial course record. The episode captures the electric atmosphere of the tournament, blending golf commentary with sharp hockey analysis, as host Josie Dye and guest Ashton dissect the pressures of pro play, the physical grind of a full day on the course, and the mental edge that separates elite athletes. Ashton reveals his unique perspective: while he avoids watching amateur putts to stay focused, he studies Tommy Fleetwood’s swing when struggling — a testament to the mental discipline required in high-stakes competition. The conversation pivots to the Stanley Cup Final, where both goalies, Freddie Anderson and Bussie, have faltered under pressure, sparking debate over whether the series is being defined by mental breakdowns rather than skill. The hosts argue that the chaos, with four-goal games and goaltenders turning into 'pumpkins,' has made it one of the most unpredictable and entertaining finals in years — a spectacle driven not by dominance, but by collapse and resilience. As the episode closes, the focus shifts to the NHL offseason, with deep dives into the Mike Babcock controversy, the Leafs' coaching search, and Buffalo’s tough decisions around Alex Tuck’s $11.
