Inside Sports With Reid Wilkins

With a huge fight looming on May 9 at River Cree Resort & Casino, we catch up with the “Iron Lady” as she prepares for one of the biggest opportunities of her career. With the WBC International Flyweight title on the line, she opens up about what this moment means and how it could shape her path moving forward. We dive into her matchup against Laura Wollenmann, breaking down the stylistic challenges and where she feels she holds the advantage. After coming off a pair of tough, hard-fought bouts—including a gritty performance against Gabriela Fundora—she reflects on the lessons learned, the growth gained and how those experiences have reshaped her mindset. Beyond the ring, we explore her YouTube series and why it’s important for her to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of boxing. She also shares insight into a recent fundraiser she was involved in, highlighting her commitment to making an impact outside the sport. Plus, a look inside training camp: the daily grind, the adjustments, and the

Brenden Escott and Sportsnet’s Kyle Bukauskas dive into the early storylines shaping the Stanley Cup Playoffs, starting with a surprising wrinkle in the Edmonton Oilers vs. Anaheim Ducks series. How have the Ducks managed to slow down Connor McDavid, and what adjustments does Edmonton need to make to unlock their attack? Special teams have also taken center stage—and not in a good way for the Oilers. We break down what’s gone wrong on the power play, why Anaheim is finding success with the man advantage and how that battle could swing the series. From there, we head east to a heated showdown between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s been a physical, emotional series—so how are the Canadiens handling Tampa’s edge, and can they sustain that style over a long grind? We also take a closer look at the Philadelphia Flyers and their strong start against the Pittsburgh Penguins. What’s driving their early success, and is it built to last? Plus, a spotlight on rising star Porter Martone—just how

With Round 1 of the NFL Draft set to get underway Thursday, we dive headfirst into one of the most unpredictable classes in recent memory with draft guru Ric Serritella. From the moment the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to call Fernando Mendoza’s name first overall, the intrigue only builds—how he fits, who follows, and where the real chaos begins. We break down where the draft truly “starts” this year, why Jeremiyah Love is generating top-five buzz as the clear-cut RB1, and what that means for a class that thins out quickly at the position. Plus, a closer look at the offensive landscape—why there’s elite talent at QB, RB, and TE, but no true WR1 separating from the pack. On the defensive side, we spotlight the dynamic Ohio State trio of Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, and Caleb Downs, while also digging into some of the more debated evaluations in the class—like Jacob Rodriguez flying under the radar and Ruben Bain being scrutinized for measurables. We’ll also identify a few names that could outperform thei

Brenden Escott opens the April 17 show with Sportsnet’s Luke Gazdic joining for some playoff discussion. The regular season wrapped with absolute chaos—nowhere more so than the Pacific Division, where playoff scenarios shifted by the hour right up to the final buzzer. In this episode, we break down one of the wildest finishes in recent memory and what it all means heading into the postseason. We dive into the teams that caught fire at just the right time, forcing their way into the playoff picture, and debate whether that late-season momentum is real—or a mirage once the intensity ramps up. On the other side, we unpack the crushing collapse of the Detroit Red Wings and what a finish like that means for an organization trying to take the next step. From there, the focus shifts to the Edmonton Oilers, who locked up second in the Pacific. Has their identity evolved down the stretch? Is there a newfound commitment to defending, and how much credit goes to the stability in goal from Connor Ingram? We also explo

As communities continue to grow, so does the demand for places to play, train and compete—but across the country, access to recreational space is becoming harder to come by. From packed ice rinks and overbooked soccer pitches to limited pool time and crowded courts, the gap between demand and available facilities is becoming impossible to ignore. So, what’s behind the shortage, and more importantly, what can be done about it? Is this a matter of funding and infrastructure, or are there creative solutions we haven’t fully tapped into yet? And as private facilities begin to enter the mix, what role can they play in helping ease the pressure? Brenden Escott is joined by the CEO of Sport Edmonton Evan Daum for those answers, and to explore whether there’s untapped potential in our existing public spaces and what a sustainable path forward might actually look like for communities trying to keep up.

With the playoff picture still taking shape, the race to the postseason has delivered no shortage of drama—and we’re breaking it all down. From the most intriguing potential first-round matchups to the teams surging at just the right time, there’s plenty to watch as the regular season winds down. We’re joined by Mick Kern from SiriusXM NHL Network Radio to take a closer look at the Edmonton Oilers and what their recent stretch might mean heading into the playoffs, while also diving into the big questions surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs and their search for the right voice in the GM’s chair. There’s also discussion around Rick Bowness’ candid comments on culture within the Columbus Blue Jackets organization and why frustration seems to be boiling over among Detroit Red Wings fans after a tough finish to the season. Plus, we get into some wide-open award races—from the Hart Trophy to the Norris Trophy—and wrap things up with a look at the future of Alex Ovechkin and whether we may have seen the fin

The playoffs are set and the Toronto Raptors are headed for a compelling first-round showdown with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In this episode, we dive deep into the matchup—breaking down the key battles that could ultimately decide the series, inspired by a detailed piece from Sportsnet’s Zulfi Sheikh, outlining the most important head-to-heads. We explore whether Toronto’s chemistry can outweigh their lack of playoff experience, and what that balance looks like over the course of a seven-game series. Plus, how much does continuity matter when the pressure ramps up? On the other side, the addition of James Harden adds a fascinating wrinkle for Cleveland. We discuss how his presence changes their offensive ceiling, impacts tempo and forces new defensive decisions for Toronto. From X-factors and under-the-radar contributors to coaching adjustments and pressure points, we break down where this series could swing—and what each team needs to do to come out on top. All that, plus what to watch for when

Fresh off another unforgettable weekend at Augusta National Golf Club, we reconnect with golf journalist Jason Logan to break down everything from this year’s Masters. The conversation starts with Rory McIlroy making history, going back-to-back and cementing his place among the game’s greats. We dive into what’s changed for Rory, how his long-awaited first green jacket may have unlocked another level, and what this dominant stretch could mean for the future. From there, we look at the contenders who made things interesting, including a steady charge from Scottie Scheffler and strong Sunday pushes from Justin Rose and Russell Henley. Plus, we explore the key moments that shaped the tournament and how Augusta played this year. We also check in on the Canadian contingent, discuss what their performances say about the state of golf in Canada and look ahead to what’s next on the road to the PGA Championship.
