Are there any Canadian (or American, I suppose) radio stations that talk primarily about hockey, that are available to listen to online?

Also, while I'm at it... is The Hockey News worth getting during the lock-out?

ESPN Radio out of Pittsburgh is reporting that the players rejected the owners' latest offer. More talks are scheduled for tomorrow.

???

It didn't even require a news story to know the offer would be rejected. I'm just talking about a regular Canadian station that would let me listen to hockey talk frequently -- doesn't have to be news about the lockout.

http://www.team1040.ca/ all sports talk. They talk about a bunch of different stuff depending on the host. Seems like the evening shows have a lot of lockout talk.

http://www.mojoradio.ca/ all sports talk. Arthur Griffiths (ex Canucks owner) has a daily morning show talking exclusively about the lockout. Again, topics vary from host to host but there's always lots of hockey talk, though less then when they had a league to cover.

One or both of them airs all the Giants (major junior) games as well as some Manitoba Moose games.

Edit. With any info you could want online, is the Hockey News ever worth buying?

Thanks for the links! Exactly what I'm looking for... just a plain old Canadian radio station, just like an American one, except instead of focusing on football or baseball, they focus on hockey.

Re: THN, I don't do a heck of a lot of active searching for info, so having any kind of interesting news or features or interviews, etc., in one place organized in a nice way with pretty pictures would be a benefit to me. But if THN has really dried up without the NHL, obviously it wouldn't be a great investment for me.

Thanks for the response!

The Hockey News is definitely worth getting still, at least in my opinion. I'm enjoying every issue still; there's plenty of info on other leagues, prospects, what the scabs who 'need to play' are up to (note that NHLers only lead scoring in two european leagues, IIRC), and of course the lock out. Note that they've changed the publishing schedule, only once every two weeks now, but still worth the cash.
