The Shoresy Fall Classic Comes To UBS Arena: Exclusive Interview With Hitchcock & JoDolo

This Wednesday, the Shoresy Classic makes its way to UBS Arena, with members of the cast battling New York Islanders alumni.
Puck drop is at 7 PM ET, with doors opening at 6 PM ET.
For those that don’t know, Shoresy is a spin-off of Letterkenny. The show follows Shoresy as he joins a senior hockey team in Sudbury, Ontario, called the Blueberry Bulldogs, to help them win games and turn their losing streak around. It stars Jared Keeso, who also created the show and writes for it.
Here’s the cast roster for the game, with more expected to be there: Jared Keeso (Shoresy), Terry Ryan (Hitch), Jonathan Diaby (JoDolo), Andrew Antsanen (Goody), Ryan McDonnell (Michaels), Jon Mirasty (Jim #1), Brandon Nolan (Jim #2), Jordan Nolan (Jim #3), Max Bouffard (JJ Frankie JJ), Jacob Smith (Fish), Keegan Long (Liam), Bourke Cazabon (Cory) and Frederick Roy (Delaney).

I had the pleasure of chatting with Terry Ryan, who plays Ted Hitchcock, and Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby, who plays Dolo, before the Islanders battled the Boston Bruins back on Nov. 4:

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HITCH & JODOLO
In this interview with The Elmonters, I spoke with both guys about their hockey careers, how they got into acting, some behind-the-scenes on the making of the show, what they think of Matthew Schaefer and the Islanders, and more!
Have a listen!
Fantastic piece on this event, love the roster breakdown. The crossover between Shoresy's cult following and actual Islanders alumni is such a smart play for fan engagement. Having guys like Matt Martin and Cal Cluterbuck out there alongside the cast makes it way more compeling than just a scripted team exhibition. The interview adds real depth to understanding how these actors live the hockey lifestyle off-camera too.
