All I really know about him is that he used to be a TV exec and ran HNIC for a time.

I can only assume he called in a favor or pulled some strings but it was embarrassing for a sports network to try and honestly introduce him as a hockey insider. Worse how he was always in Edmonton, reporting on the team, covering the team, and passing himself off as the above as well as impartial.
