Rogers Sportsnet today has announced a bunch of ‘all-star’ hirings for the upcoming NHL season, which includes a bulk of former broadcasters from CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. Here are the new hires:
Here’s the full broadcast team you can expect this year:

Rogers signed a landmark $5.2 billion, 12 year deal with the NHL last November for Canadian broadcast rights, a move the company says was made to stem TV losses and to keep the competitor Bell from nabbing up rights.
Out of this broadcast lineup, who are you happy or unhappy to see on the final cut?

And this is relevant to the iPhone – how??
1. It’s Rogers.
2. You’ll soon be live streaming the NHL on your iPhone.
3. Your mom emailed us this list.
Now that’s more interesting than knowing who the Studio Analysts and Insiders are…
In all seriousness, it’ll be interesting to see how Rogers handles all NHL broadcasting rights and how much marketing will be pushed to customers to stream live games. It’s all about data right now.
Not relevant to iPhone, but thanks Gary!
Bob Cole? Really? You can’t find anyone better in the whole da*n country than Bob Cole?
Don’t kid yourself … Bob Cole is the best broadcaster in the hockey world bar none. You should be more upset with Jim Hughson who is terrible (for anyone outside of BC ???? )
That’s funny you folks are complaining that this isn’t related to iPhone, because I’m reading the article and thinking to myself… Damn, how does Gary always put out stuff that I find interesting. Thanks Gary, the trolls don’t have to open the article if they don’t like…
George stroumbo…. BOOO!!!
Thank you Dennis, you are da man 🙂
This is relevant to Rogers. See that number of 5.2 billion? That’s why your cellphone bill is 30% higher now.
By the way, sack P.J. Stock — nothing but dead weight.
PJ and Glenn are always good for chuckles and making people angry.
PJ adds nothing. I still can’t believe in his first year he grew a playoff beard! The guy only has a few NHL games under his belt!
Brad Marchand has not been in the NHL for 10 years. Check your facts please/
Ibelieve someone mentioned Bob Cole ,that old fossil lost his memory somewhere cannot follow the game does;nt remember names and says there is going to be a penalty when it was only offside. Retire this dinasaur ,he was ok for 20 yeas or so then he lost it could not follow the play. Iwould rather listen to bubble head pierre maguire
