He's a young broadcaster still developing his own style for chirst sake. Last season with the Thunder was his first as a play by play man since college as far as I can tell and prior to his 2 years doing PBP he had 2 seasons doing color for the Thunder.
His name is Brandon Kisker. He's also the most knowledgeable, passionate (and I don't mean his goal calls) and hardest working PBP guy our AHL team has had as far as I can remember. This is a guy who clearly loves the game, he is a goaltender himself, he writes most of the articles on the Heat website (which has way more articles than Abbotsford or Adirondack had), he actually traveled to Penticton for the young stars tournament which isn't even something I recall Pinder or Astle doing for Abbotsford and the Adirondack one didn't seem to care or know anything about the game. Kisker also takes the time to respond to those of us who have tweeted him asking questions about the Heat.
While his goal calls might be a little over the top but he is doing an absolutely incredible job keeping us informed and that is the most important part of his job.
