Dollar store

The **dollar store**, officially **Donovan Variety**, is a recurring setting of *Letterkenny*. Wayne, Katy, the McMurrays, and Reilly and Jonesy have all seen there from time to time as customers, but most of the activity there actually takes place in the parking lot.

Bonnie McMurray works as a clerk here initially, giving Wayne ice without charging for it to flirt with him (Rave). She is put off by the Skids, who like to use the parking lot to breakdance—not because of the dancing, but because they "crop-dusted" flatulence inside (The Election). She continues to be seen there after she takes a waitressing job at MoDean's II, and may have kept both jobs, but .

   The Skids use the parking lot not only to dance, but for less illicit activites as well, such as dumping their stolen mailboxes (Les Hiques), but most of all, to do rips. This brings them into a turf war with Glen, who after being removed as pastor of his church, decides to take up street preaching, and wants to use the lot to give revelations. They both try to recruit Reilly and Jonesy, but the hockey players only want to do reps. As the argument devolves, Bonnie calls the police (Never Work a Day in Your Life).

Stewart and Glen agree to do battle. When asked what Jesus would do, Glen responds that Jesus would show empathy, acceptance, and grace. Stewart offers to swap roles for a day in that spirit, even adopting each other's wardrobes. They agree to share the dollar store parking lot (Way to a Man's Heart).

      The dollar store did not appear on the show in Seasons 5 through 9. In Season 10, however, it is established that the Skids continue to dance there (Dyck Meat). They develop a VidVok rivalry with Reilly and Jonesy, and have several tetchy encounters with them and with Aly and Bianca (VidVok). When Lady C joins the Skids and teaches Roald some of her moves, they believe they have the upper hand, but instead she joins forces with Aly and Bianca herself, cutting out the middleman (Sundays are for Picking Stones).

## Behind the scenes

Donovan Variety is an actual convenience store on Kathleen Street in "The Donovan," a district of Subury, Ontario (Google Street View). On the other side of the parking lot is the Frood Hotel, which served as the original MoDean's. Across the street is A Healing Touch Massage, which was used for the Letterkenny Walk-in Clinic in the episode "Rave."

    The dollar store was not depicted after Season 4, for some time. In Season 10, the Skids are seen dancing at a different location, the "SUPER Convenience" store in Chelmsford. No explanation for the new location is given in-universe.

Letterkenny: Ferda Edition

***Letterkenny: Ferda Edition*** is a special edition of *Letterkenny* which provides voiceover commentary from cast members as an episode plays. The commentary touches aspects of production such as stories as "behind-the-scenes" trivia, and also delves into expressions and references used on the show.

CraveTV announced the release of the Ferda edition for Season 1 on December 10, 2016, explaining that *ferda* was hockey slang for "for the boys," and this edition was "for the super-fans." The Ferda edition for Season 2 began streaming on Crave on May 19, 2017, and for Season 3 on December 8, 2017.
Tyler Johnston

Publicity photo from MN2S

**Tyler Johnston** is a Canadian actor who portrays Stewart on *Letterkenny*.

## Career

Born in British Columbia, Johnston began acting in high school, playing Ren McCormack in the school production of *Footloose*. His first television role was in 2004 with a small part in the Nicholodeon sitcom *Romeo!* Among his early television work are recurring roles as Markko on *Zixx*, Adrian on *Godiva's*, and Cal Ragg on *Grand Star*. He appeared as the young Don Cherry in the 2012 TV mini-series *Wrath of Grapes: The Don Cherry Story II*, in which Jared Keeso portrayed the older Cherry.

Johnston is also known for playing Danny Lubbe on the HBO series *Less Than Kind* and Alexi Giffords on *The Killing*, as well as Tommy Webber in the TV movie *Story of a Girl*. Outside Canada, he may be best known as Samandriel on *Supernatural*. More recently, he played Ted on *Shut Eye*.

He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for *Less Than Kind* at 2013 and 2014 Canadian Screen Awards. In 2014, he was also nominated for the Best Lead Actor in a Television Film or Miniseries for playing Corey Boucher in the TV movie *The Phantoms*. In 2016, he was nominated by the Montreal International Wreath Film Festival Awards in the Best Actor category for playing Edward K. Wehling, Jr. in the short *2BR02B: To Be or Naught to Be*.
Dalton Thibodeaux

Dalton Thibodeau is an unseen Degen who is mentioned/heard in several episodes of *Letterkenny.*

Thibodeau figures prominently in the opening and closing scenes of *Red Card Yellow Card* as an employee of Keith "Gray Daniels" Greydahnus. Gray Daniels calls in to "Crack an Ag" to complain about a "tit" working at his sawmill; while he is reluctant to tell tails out of school, Wayne and the others get him to confirm it is Thibodeau, noting that "his old man's a fuckin' tit, too." Dary notes that he saw Thibodeau chain up a sick cow and drag it across his lawn because it was too sick to stand, prompting Wayne to retort in disgust, "Fuck you, Thibodeau."

Gray Daniels, after some prodding, explains (in excruciating detail) that Thibodeau is slowing down production at the sawmill through his slower work process. Wayne and the others encourage Gray Daniels to "put a size nine in him," overriding Gray Daniels' concerns about offending "the kids today" because Thibodeau is "working fucking labor." They believe Gray Daniels should not give up on Thibodeau, but "keep your foot in it." Gray Daniels appreciates the advice, but the very next caller is Thibodeau, who complains about Gray Daniels "telling tales out of school." This prompts the guys to all scream, "FUCK YOU, THIBODEAU!" and berate him until he hangs up.

At the end of the episode, Gray Daniels calls back to the show and says that he wants to apologize for telling tales out of school on Thibodeau, but that he did take the guys' advice and Thibodeaux "came around" and stopped slowing down production after Gray Daniels showed him some "tough love." He adds that Thibodeau is with him in the sawmill break room and wants to speak to the guys. Thibodeau tells them that Gray Daniels "had the balls to say sorry" and asks if the guys will as well, which prompts them all again to yell, "FUCK YOU THIBODEAU!"

Thibodeau is referenced again in S11 as one of the "Degens" with whom Jivin' Pete is hanging. He is former owner of the titular “Lost Dog” whom he gave to Pete after it previously ran away from him, continuing his negligent treatment of animals. In "Degens," Reilly mentions one of the resons he is down is that he and Jonesy hired Thibodeau to drive the Zamboni at the hockey rink and he has not shown up, prompting more mutterings of, "Fuck you, Thibodeau." It is unclear as to whether he is one of the Degens Wayne and the others beat up at the end of the episode, though it is possible.

### NOTES:

* Thibodeau is voiced by Jared Keeso using a falsetto similar to Keeso's voice as Shoresy.
* Hulu's captions for S7 refer to him as "Thibodeau," though in S11, it is spelled "Tibadoo," likely referring to the nickname based on the specific pronounciation of his last name other residents have.
Ukrainian Centre

Sign behind the bar

The **Ukrainian Centre** is a setting of *Letterkenny* in Season 5. The official name of the establishment is unclear; the sign behind the bar reads *Letterkenny Ukrainian Centre*, but the sign outside the building calls it the *Letterkenny Ukrainian Hall*.

After MoDean's II burned down, Letterkenny was again left without a bar. Gail moved her operation to the Ukrainian Centre, and manages a watering hole there, assisted by Bonnie McMurray. The establishment had not been mentioned previously.

The Hicks become regulars, frequently sitting in a row at the bar, with Dan reading the current issue of the town newspaper, the *Letterkenny Banner*. They appreciate its reasonable prices. The hockey players as well as Tyson and Joint Boy are also sighted there from time to time.

When Gail opened the third iteration of MoDean's, however, the crowd followed her there, and the Ukrainian Hall has not been mentioned since.

## Behind the Scenes

There is a substantial population claiming Ukrainian ancestry in Canada, the third highest of any country in the world, after Russia and Ukraine itself. Ukrainian enclaves can be found in many parts of the country, particularly in the prairie provinces. Several waves of immigrants arrived, starting with agrarian workers encouraged to immigrate starting in 1891, and communities were also established in eastern Canada by the early 20th century.

The filming location of the Ukrainian Centre has not been established. The restaurant where MoDean's II had been filmed went out of business after Season 3, and so it was written out of the show, as with the original MoDean's, as having burned down.
Kaniehtiio Horn

**Kaniehtiio Horn**, often credited as **Tiio Horn**, is a Canadian actress. She portrays Tanis on *Letterkenny*.

## Biography

Horn grew up on the Kahnawake reserve in Quebec; her mother, Kahn-Tineta Horn, is a former model and a Kahnawake activist. Tiio graduated from Dawson College in 2005 with a theatre arts degree. She began acting as a student, and was cast as Susan Oke in the TV miniseries \*Indian Summer: The Oka Crisis\*, a film about the 1990 standoff between Mohawk protesters and Québec police. During this crisis, when Horn was 4 years old, her older sister Waneek was stabbed by a soldier while carrying her; Waneek survived, and went on to play water polo for Canada at the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympic Games. Waneek also appeared in an episode of the *Letterkenny* spinoff series *Shoresy* (of which Tiio is a creative producer/consultant) playing a board member of the Senior AAA Hockey League, Danis.

In November 2020, Tiio and her partner, Bradley LaRocque, welcomed a son.

She played Angel in the 2008 TV movie *Moccasin Flats: Redemption*, for which she was nominated for a Gemini Award, and has been a regular on numerous television shows since, including three appearances on *19-2*, where many other *Letterkenny* cast members have appeared.

She is well-known for portraying Gina in Season 3 of the Amazon series *The Man in the High Castle*, winning an ACTRA award in 2019. Outside of film and television, she is probably best known as the voice of Kaniehtí:io in the 2012 video game *Assassin's Creed III*.
Gus N' Bru

**Gus N' Bru** is a fictional label of Canadian whisky that is the preferred liquor of the Hicks on *Letterkenny*.

The label reads *Gus N' Bru* in stylized letters and drawings of two terriers, presumably the eponymous dogs. Official merchandise featuring the label, as well as promotional copy for the May 2018 "pup-up" shop in Toronto, names it *Gus N' Bruno*. "Gus" is known to be the real-life dog of Jared Keeso, a pit bull mix. No explanation has been given on the show for the similar appearance of the dog on the label with Wayne's dog Gus, but one may surmise that in-universe, Wayne named his dog after the dog featured on his favourite drink.

Gus N' Bru is a staple of the town, with the Hicks and the hockey players frequently seen doing shots or taking slugs of it. It was introduced on the show much earlier than the other popular alcohol, Puppers lager, appearing in the very first episode. Gail pours shots for the Hicks when they come into MoDean's, then takes a swig of it herself; the bottle is turned so that the label is clearly visible (Ain't No Reason to Get Excited)​.

While a Puppers beer brewed by Stack Brewing has been made available to the public, albeit for limited runs, no retail variety of Gus N' Bru is sold. Lisa Codrington and Kamilla Kowal (Bonnie McMurray) poured samples of "Gus N’ Bruno" at the May 18, 2018 "pup-up" shop in Toronto, and plans for distribution through the LCBO seem to have existed, only to be scrapped. A May 31, 2018 tweet from the official @LetterkennyProb account stated that they were working on it, but there has been no followup since.

## Varieties

   Whisky, an alcoholic spirit made from grain mash, is spelled *whiskey* in Ireland and the United States and *whisky* elsewhere in the world, for historical reasons. In Canada, "rye whisky" is defined by law to be the same as "Canadian whisky," regardless of whether it is actually made with any rye, again for historical reasons (in contrast, American rye whiskey must be made from mash that is 51% rye grain). Most Canadian whisky is made from corn (maize) or wheat mash, and blended with whisky made from rye mash for colour and flavour.

Gus N' Bru is known to be sold in different sizes and varieties; at Wayne and Katy's Christmas party, "Gus N' Bru Gold" is the "main event," the shot to be taken at midnight (The Three Wise Men). In Quebec, a very similar-looking label is seen for the local *whisky canadien*, Guy & Bruce, with the same style of lettering but featuring sketches of two cats instead of two dogs.
Mrs. McMurray

**Mrs. McMurray** is a recurring character on *Letterkenny*, played by Melanie Scrofano.

"I'd hammer a cock suckin' gin and tonic, that's all I know." — Mrs. McMurray

## Biography

McMurray and Mrs. McMurray are very demonstrative of their attraction to one another. They flirt constantly even during Ag Hall board meetings (A Fuss at the Ag Hall), and are prone to public displays of affection which disturb the Hicks and others (The Letterkenny Leave). For the Letterkenny Talent Show, they performed a highly sexualized act as Santa Claus and a young girl, which progressed to Santa spanking Mrs. McMurray and Wayne giving them the gong to end the act (Letterkenny Talent Show).

Mrs. McMurray enjoys drinking gin and tonics, and often comments offhand about wanting one (Uncle Eddie's Trust). In later seasons her love of G&T's gets exasperated to the point where is perpetually plastered.

The McMurrays were introduced to "the lifestyle"—non-monogamy, or "swinging"—by their friend Juan Jorge when in the Dominican Republic, on one of their frequent trips to the Caribbean (The Letterkenny Leave). They try to recruit others to the lifestyle, but have thus far been unsuccessful. At one St. Patrick's Day festival, however, while the men were dealing with degens from upcountry, she and Katy enjoyed an encounter in the washroom (St. Perfect's Day).
Season 6

**Season 6** of *Letterkenny* was released on Crave on Christmas, December 25, 2018.
Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney wrote episodes 1 through 4. Trevor Risk wrote "Different Strokes for Different Folks" and "Yew!" Jacob Tierney directed all episodes.

## Production

Bell Media announced production was underway in Sudbury for Season 6 on July 31, 2018 (Bell Media). Publicity focused heavily on the guest appearances of Sarah Wayne Callies, recently noted for AMC's *The Walking Dead*, and Jonathan Torrens, known recently for *Trailer Park Boys*, billed as "outsiders."

Also highlighted were the return of Sarah Gadon as Gae, Tiio Horn as Tanis, Kelly McCormack and Jess Salgueiro as Shamrockette stars Mary-Anne and Betty-Anne, and Magalie Lépine Blondeau as Wayne's new girlfriend, Marie Fred.
Hockey arena

Reilly and Jonesy enter the arena

The **hockey arena**, officially named the **Letterkenny Memorial Arena** and referred to as the **Barn** by hockey players, is a primary setting of *Letterkenny*. It has been home ice for at least three Letterkenny ice hockey teams: the Letterkenny Shamrocks, Letterkenny Irish, and Letterkenny Shamrockettes; other teams in the community include the beer league No Regretzkys.

The facility has at least two ice rinks, and games of the various levels attract good crowds from the townsfolk; as Katy observes, "The fuck else am I going to do around here?" In the foyer can be found a trophy case and current team and player standings in the leagues.

Reilly and Jonesy are often shown in or immediately outside the dressing room for whichever team they are involved with, either in the changing area, the showers, or the toilets. In early seasons they are rarely seen actually on the ice, whether for practice or for games, but are often featured on the bench when chirping the other team or talking about fans in the stands; actual play become more common in later seasons.

## Behind the scenes

The arena shown in establishing shots is the Countryside Sports Complex (Complexe sportif Countryside), situated at the junction of Highway 17 and Highway 80 in Sudbury, Ontario. It was renamed the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex in 2008 in honor of Gerald McCrory, who founded the Big Nickel Major AAA International Hockey Tournament in 1979 and made it the most successful triple-A tournament in Canada. Several youth teams of the Sudbury Wolves, Sudbury Lady Wolves, and Copper Cliff Redmen play here. The same facility, shot from a different side, represents the arena at the Rez.

On-ice scenes have been filmed elsewhere in Greater Sudbury, at the Capreol Community Centre and Arena (Centre communautaire et aréna de Capreol). In September 2021, Greater Sudbury authorized a three-year lease of an ice pad to New Metric Media, presumably to be used for filming *Letterkenny* and *Shoresy*. *Letterkenny* had previously been renting the pad on a month-to-month basis (The Sudbury Star).

Basement

*For the fitness center named "The Basement," see gym*

The **basement** is a primary setting of *Letterkenny*, the base of operations and primary meeting place of the Skids, their other base being the dollar store parking lot. The official name of the gym is coincidentally "The Basement," but it is never referred to as such.

The basement is where the Skids manufacture, store, and consume a variety of drugs, and sometimes deal drugs from there as well (Letterkenny Spelling Bee). It is also their refuge, however—the Skids are looked down upon by the Hicks, the hockey players, and Tanis and the Natives, leaving them few places to go in town without fear of harassment. When Katy accompanies Stewart there on a visit, the others are resentful, and the interloping of Gae and later Tanis are alarming. When Devon disappears, Stewart is bewildered as to why.

> He had everything here. Hours upon hours of ultra-competitive gaming laced with hip-hop karaoke. Add a dash of late-night loitering and a splash of petty vandalism. And what have you got? Utopia. Arcadia. Kingdom come! — Stewart
>
>

Besides drug-related activities, the Skids spend countless hours in the basement playing video games, notably classics of older systems including the original NES to the original PlayStation.

## Appearance

The basement is cluttered with furniture which mostly appears to be castoffs, although Stewart prides himself on having an adjustable standing desk (The Ol' College Try)​​​​. The room is cluttered with drug paraphernalia, video game consoles and accessories, and audio equipment, and its walls are covered in cartoons, murals, and all manner of graffiti. There are small hopper windows, but these admit little natural light, to the point where Wayne is concerned about Stewart and Roald's health and gives them a bottle of Vitamin D as a Christmas gift (The Three Wise Men).

## Location

The basement is situated in town, as seen on the map he draws for F.A.K.U. operations (Les Hiques), and when Jonesy and Reilly lurk outside planning to trash the place in revenge for the rookie using meth (A Fuss in the Back Bush). What building it is the basement of is less clear. Roald mentions that Stewart lives with his mother, a statement which is "verifiable" (Great Day for Thunder Bay). It would seem logical that the basement is located in her house or apartment building, but Devon is able to evict Stewart from the premises when they come into conflict.

> This is not your basement anymore. This is my basement now. And you are not welcome. — Devon
>
>

Stewart was then forced to ask Wayne to stay at the farm, saying he is "homeless" (A Fuss at the Ag Hall).

Season 10

**Season 10** of *Letterkenny* was released Christmas Day, December 25, 2021 on Crave in Canada, and the following day on Hulu in the United States.

## Production

In September 2020, executive producer Mark Montefiore told Sudbury.com that shooting that was supposed to have taken place in August and September for seasons 10 and 11 had been pushed to 2021 (Sudbury.com), due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming was officially announced to have started on June 10, 2021, via the official Twitter account, @LetterkennyProb. An Instagram post published the same day by Michelle Mylett indicated that they were shooting two seasons at once. Another Instagram post, by Tyler Johnston, indicated that filming had wrapped by June 19. Given historical release calendars, this pointed to a possible release in December 2021, perhaps on or around Christmas.

Bell Media announced on June 10 it was developing an official spin-off, entitled *Shoresy*, after the character Shoresy portrayed by Jared Keeso.

## Promotion

A trailer for the season was released on YouTube and social media on November 17, 2021, also confirming the speculated release date of Christmas 2021. Scenes in the trailer indicated the appearances of the Hicks, Skids, and hockey players, as well as Gail, Rosie, the McMurrays, Bonnie, Anik, Shania, Tanis, Glen, Dierks and his crew, Marie-Fred, the Dycks, Jim Dickens, and Aly and Bianca, and an array of new characters. Hulu cited as highlights of the coming season "McMurray and Wayne do some dickering… the Hicks attend a sausage party… the Hockey Players and Skids have a video game battle… and the men of Letterkenny receive head to toe physicals."

## Reception

The A.V. Club review was positive about the new season following what it considered a disappointing Season 9, although disappointed that Glen only makes one appearance. "Thankfully, the 10th season answers 'How’re ya now?' with a hearty 'Good, and you?' Coming in at a slim six episodes, this season takes a bit of time to clean up its mess. Season 10 takes what audiences love about the series and basks in that verbose and crass light."
Jim Dickens

**Jim Dickens** is a recurring character on *Letterkenny*. He is portrayed by Alex McCooeye.

A member of the board of the Letterkenny Agricultural Hall, Jim is an agricultural auctioneer, and perhaps on account of this was invited to emcee events like the Letterkenny Talent Show (Letterkenny Talent Show). He has a tendency to lapse into his auction chant, however, even in everyday conversation (A Fuss at the Ag Hall).

Jim is upright and neighborly in his interactions with the townsfolk. Fed up with the slow pace of McMurray's Ag Hall board meetings, Jim encouraged Wayne to run for president, and led a vote to remove McMurray (A Fuss at the Ag Hall). When a more formal election was called, though, Wayne lost even Jim's vote; Jim found Wayne's campaign video, produced by Stewart, to be offensive. Nevertheless, he dropped by Wayne's farm afterwards to help with chorin', in thanks for Wayne mowing his lawn as a favor during the week, and the two end cordially (The Election).

McMurray and Mrs. McMurray frequently tease him by mispronouncing his name as "Dickskin"; after Jim corrects them that it is "Dickens," they pretend "that's exactly what I said." Wayne pronounces his name correctly, except once, apologetically, only to get him to stop auctioneering while McMurray pitched his business proposal to Wayne and Katy (Uncle Eddie's Trust).

He is seen from time to time at MoDean's, even scrapping with the Hicks against degens (Never Work a Day in Your Life). His other friends, romantic interests, or family are unknown. When he arrives at the produce stand after the election to offer some help to Wayne, he rides with an older couple who may be parents or other family members (The Election).

## Appearance

Jim is usually seen bearded, wearing a light cowboy hat, blue jeans, brown belt with a large steel buckle, and cowboy boots. He may wear a Western shirt, or other shirts with a dark leather vest and bolo tie.

## Trivia

* Jim Dickens and Bonnie McMurray are the only recurring characters whose first and last names are both known.
* An ad for Jim Dickens' Auction House can be seen at the Donegal hockey arena when the Letterkenny Shamrockettes play there for the championship (Back to Back to Back).

Sudbury Bulldogs

The **Sudbury Bulldogs** (later the **Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs**) are a men's Senior AAA ice hockey team based in Sudbury, Ontario, who compete in the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization (the NOSHO). They are the central focus of the series *Shoresy*.

Tanis sends Shoresy to Sudbury, where her cousin Nat is general manager of the Bulldogs; however, the venture seems to be wasted energy as the team accumulates twenty unanswered losses.

Nat fires coach Michaels and is on the verge of shutting the team down. Facing this, Shoresy convinces Nat to take the money they would have spent on the coach's salary and use it to recruit veteran players instead. He promises with this strategy that they will "never lose again" (Never Lose Again).

Angie

**Angie** is a recurring character on *Letterkenny*, and Wayne's ex-girlfriend from prior to the start of the show. While referenced throughout the show, she appears only in Seasons 2-4, and not again until Season 9. She is played by Kalinka Petrie.

## Biography

At the start of the series, Angie and Wayne have just broken up after five years of dating, starting in high school. It is also revealed that she cheated on him. It's implied she did not like fighting, leading Wayne to stop fighting. Wayne resumed his fighting career after their breakup as a result of Angie's new beau's boorish behavior (Ain't No Reason to Get Excited).

She was working as a bartender at MoDean's (Wingman Wayne), but left town for a time after her and Wayne's breakup (Puck Bunny). She returned after Wayne's matchmaker said she would be "just right" for him (Relationships). While nothing came of it initially, she came to want Wayne again, arriving at the farm just as Gail's cousin Rosie arrived with a dog to breed with Stormy, Wayne's German shepherd (Finding Stormy a Stud).

Wayne declined, and Angie turned her attention of the Letterkenny Irish hockey team, with Barts, Sholtzy, Yorkie, Fisky, and Boomtown all competing for her affection. With team unity destroyed, Reilly and Jonesy ask Katy to intervene, and Katy convinces Angie to move on by kicking her in the crotch (Puck Bunny).

She is present at the Letterkenny Talent Show (Letterkenny Talent Show). Later, she accompanies Letterkenny celebrities James and Hudson Bay, with the strong implication that she had sex with them (Great Day for Thunder Bay).

Angie would later return to Letterkenny after having spent several years in the United Kingdom. With a thick British accent, she asked if Modean's would accept Euros, which prompted Wayne and the Hicks to yell "Get your finger out of your ass!" at her (Breastaurant).

No Regretzkys

### Symbol

### Colours

Gold and black

The **No Regretzkys** are a "beer league" recreational ice hockey team which played at the Letterkenny Memorial Arena. The Coach had been a member of this team for an indeterminate amount of time.

Reilly and Jonesy, having won championships as players (for the Kerry County Eagles) as well as behind the bench (with the Letterkenny Shamrockettes) pondered what was left that they could accomplish with hockey; they did not care for back checking, learning defensive responsibilities, and not skipping leg day. Overhearing this, the Coach invited them to play in a league which didn't have any of that, offering "full on selfish hockey" plus beer, which they believed only existed in dreams (Kids with Problems).

They join the team, and enjoy drinking in the dressing room even before the game starts, but the true cost becomes known: they must awkwardly listen to Coach reminisce about his sexual activities with his dead wife, Barb. At their first game, Reilly enjoyed six goals and six assists, while Jonesy scored five and seven, both while half cut, then endured a story about Coach having vigorous sex with Barb and ejacualting like he was "hosing down an elephant at the circus" (Kids with Problems). Still, they conclude

> Well, every program has its flaws, but if that's all we have to deal with, fuck, buddy, I guess we're beer leaguers. — Reilly
>
>

A further, unmentioned benefit from the perspective of Jonesy and Reilly is that they do not have to play with Shoresy.

## Cultural References

So-called "beer leagues" got their name from sponsorships by bars and taverns. As recreational networks, they are not tied to any competitive league system.

The name of the team, a common one in recreational leagues, is a play on the expression "No Regrets" and legendary player Wayne Gretzky.
Season 11

**Season 11** of *Letterkenny* was released on Christmas Day, December 25, 2022 on Crave in Canada, on Boxing Day on Hulu in the United States, and on December 28 on SBS in Australia.

## Plot

The Hulu release date announcement offered that

In Season 11, the small town contends with the best chip flavors, lost dogs, an influencer invasion, Skid business, a mystery at the Church Bake Sale, unwanted guests at beer league, and the Degens stirring up trouble.
## Production

In September 2020, executive producer Mark Montefiore told Sudbury.com that shooting that was supposed to have taken place in August and September for seasons 10 and 11 had been pushed to 2021 (Sudbury.com), due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming was officially announced to have started on June 10, 2021, via the official Twitter account, @LetterkennyProb. An Instagram post published the same day by Michelle Mylett indicated that they were shooting two seasons at once. Another Instagram post, by Tyler Johnston, indicated that filming had wrapped by June 19. Given historical release calendars, this pointed to a possible release in December 2021, perhaps on or around Christmas. Instead, a full year would pass between season 10 and 11, interrupted only by the International Women's Day holiday special that had been released in March.

Filming for Season 12 had already been completed by release time, based on social media posts by Michelle Mylett and other cast members.

## Promotion

The season was announced via social media on November 17, 2022, also confirming the speculated release date of Christmas 2022 on Crave and Boxing Day 2022 on Hulu. Separately, SBS announced on November 22 that the new "season 8" (as numbered in Australia) would debut on December 28, 2022.
May 2-4

**May 2-4** is a holiday special that was released on Crave and Hulu on May 19, 2023, in between Season 11 and Season 12. The episode is listed as a part of Season 11 on Hulu.

## Synopsis

The hicks celebrate the May long weekend.

## Cultural references

* "May 2-4" ("May two-four") is a slang term for the the observance officially known as Victoria Day; May 24 is the birthday of 19th-century British monarch Queen Victoria, and a "two-four" is slang for a 24-pack case of beer. In 1952, the holiday was set as the last Monday before May 25, with the Queen's/King's Birthday to be celebrated on the same day. As with Memorial Day in the United States (in late May), the long weekend is considered the unofficial start of summer, and celebrated with outdoor cookouts and drinking. As with the King's Birthday in Australia (in early June) it is traditionally marked with fireworks displays. Alternative names for the day include May Long, May Long Weekend, May Run, and Firecracker Day.
* As of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022, the King of Canada is Charles III, whose actual birthday is November 14.
* In Quebec the day is now celebrated as National Patriots' Day, commemorating the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837. Prior to 2002 it was celebrated as the Fête de Dollard, honouring the early French colonist leader Adam Dollard.

Alphabet aerobics

**Alphabet aerobics** is the term Jared Keeso used to describe his monologues as Wayne during the cold opens for "A Fuss at the Ag Hall" and "Sled Shack," the premier episodes for Season 2 and Season 3 respectively. A version with with the entire main cast participating was later produced for the Season 12 open.

In each segment, Wayne, assisted by Daryl, gives a fast-paced alliterative narrative that proceeds through the letters of the alphabet as the story progresses. At the start of the monologue, the sentences are heavy with words starting with "A," then "B," then "C," and so on.

> All right. After autumn, ask anyone around the area about accuracy. Arctic activities are abundant, astonishing, astounding and A-1 on all accounts.… But before beach bodies, bros better bundle up in boots, blankets, and balaclavas because a bloody, bitter breeze will blow brisk, blustery and bleak… — Wayne
>
>

The term is taken from the song "Alphabet Aerobics" by the American hip-hop group Blackalicious, from their 1999 album *A2G*. In it, rapper Gift of Gab raps similarly, with most words in each bar starting with the same letter of the alphabet. Actor Daniel Radcliffe rapped it on an episode of *The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon* which originally aired October 28, 2014; it soon became a pop culture phenomenon, spurring a large number of imitators. As of July 2023, theofficial YouTube video had amassed over 119 million views.
Nat

**Nat** is a main character on *Shoresy*, played by Tasya Teles.

## Biography

Nat is owner and general manager of the Sudbury Bulldogs, which she inherited from her late mother. She loves hockey and the way it can bring a community together (Don't Poke the Bear), cherishes the team as her mother's legacy (Streets of Toronto). Nevertheless, she is exasperated by the Bulldogs' dismal record, especially after the money she had spent to bring in Michaels as a coach, and resolves to fold the team. Upon hearing this, Shoresy makes a desperate proposal to her, that with fresh talent and proper motivation, the team will never lose again. For Nat, the test is whether there are butts in seats at the games (Never Lose Again).

Nat has little confidence in Shoresy, and her suspicions seem to be confirmed when presented with Duo-Tangs holding thin CVs of new players who do not even play hockey any more. Nevertheless, she recommends three players for the squad, Jim, Jim, and Jim, who can be found at the local jail, and hosts a mixer at her house for all the players to get to know one another. She also announces that the team has acquired a new sponsor, and will henceforth be known as the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs. She is most impressed, however, after the Blueberry Bulldogs, new and old, get into a scrap at The Coulson, demonstrating team unity and the kind of energy that can get butts in seats (Veteran Presence).

Nat is more convinced of the plan after the Bulldogs score their first-ever victory, against the Timmins Timber Kings. When Tendy approaches Nat to complain about Shoresy's behavior, she refuses his ultimatum. To replace him, she invites Michaels back on as a player (Know Your Role). She arranges for a marketing campaign featuring the new Bulldogs, and to secure Michaels' spot on the team, for Shoresy to apologize to him (If You Can't Win, Don't Play). When their game against the North Bay Norsemen is canceled after a brawl, she argues for the Bulldogs before NOSHO officials, who award them a victory (Hockey Brings People Together).

The Bulldogs face off agains the Soo Cyclones before a packed barn of enthusiastic fans, but they are outmatched; Shoresy urges the team to give them "the lumber" as a last hoorah. The game ends with a loss, but the team stays on the ice, Nat with them while the crowd cheers. Shoresy points out that the team had started with one player who refused to lose, and now they had 16, and sufficiently moved, Nat decides not to fold the team, and to begin preparations for the playoffs.
