Battle of Ontario Episode 6 with Mark French and James Boyd

In the 6th edition of the Battle of Ontario, we get the inside track on draft eligible players Jake Bean, Alex Nylander and Michael McLeod. Head coach of the Calgary Hitmen Mark French and general manager of the Mississauga Steelheads James Boyd join Callum Fraser and Alec Brownscombe.

It's the sixth episode of the Battle of Ontario, and we're bringing you the info you need on potential Ottawa Senators draft pick Jake Bean.

Head coach of the Calgary Hitmen Mark French joins the Battle of Ontario, as we go in depth on his star defenseman. Bean was ranked 12th - where the Senators will pick this June - and is a solid offensive defenseman with an underrated two-way game.

Our interview with French begins at the 18:30 mark.

We hope you enjoy episode six!
