Episode 140 - Peter Loubardias

Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with legendary broadcaster, Saskatoon native, the one and only, Peter Loubardias.

Of course, Peter is well known for his play by play over the years for both the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames in the NHL, as well as countless Memorial Cups, but he’s also a huge advocate for the game of softball.

Peter tells us about getting that love for the game back in the late 70’s in Saskatoon, with the Harmony Women’s Softball team that would go on to win a Senior Women’s Nationals in 1980 in Hull, Quebec.  We talk about the all the amazing events he’s got to witness at Gordie Howe park, including the call of Adam Folkard’s no hitter in 2009 as Australia captured its first ISF World title. We also go into a deep dive on the exposure this game gets, or lack there of, that you’re definitely going to want to hear.

Peter was an absolute treat to chat with.  His knowledge of the game and memory recall is just ridiculous.  The fact he was able to take time out of his hectic schedule and come on a chat with us was awesome.
