Because he doesn't have a classic, deep PA announcer voice, so he compensates by being VERY LOUD AND EMPHATIC!!! Agreed it's annoying. I find that more in Canadian rinks, U.S. arenas seem to do a better job of just hiring someone with a classic, professional announcing voice who talks normally and lets his natural baritone do the work.
Pet peeve of mine when sports teams hire arena announcers who don't have this, and thus have to have the energy cranked up to 11 to compensate.
