In this episode, Benny and Duddy are joined by special guest Cameron Minella, a second-round pick for the Mooseheads from Brunswick School.

Cameron discusses his excitement about being drafted by the Halifax Mooseheads, which he considers a "top-tier organization".

He describes himself as a "two-way defenseman" who is both reliable in the defensive zone and strong offensively. 

Minella also shares that he models his playing style after Adam Fox.

The episode includes a rapid-fire question segment where Cameron reveals his preferences with things like food and gaming.

The podcast concludes with a tribute to Noland Lillington, a former player for the Cole Harbour Minor Hockey Association, who tragically passed away on July 30, 2025. 

Noland was known for his "contagious smile" and "heart of gold".
