Makes sense! Congrats to Brendan.

He's a great guy and will do well in the new role.

Congrats Brendan.

Great . Like him alot .

It’s a natural fit given his familiarity with the organization, players, and fan base.

Glad to see Hrudey is coming back too, although I wonder who will fill in for him when he’s away for HNIC duties.

Was expecting this would happen as soon as they announced Leslie's departure.

Congrats Brendan!

I'd like to see them give Sarich a chance. He's been good in his intermission appearances.

We're not a big enough market for elite talent, and Ryan Leslie and Rick Ball became elite over their time here. But Jon Abbott really grew on me last season, he was more than adequate in the role and will continue to grow.

Sorry for the thread bump but I am wondering if I have this correct for the broadcast team.

Flames Regional Game host: Brendan Parker with Jon Abbott and a revolving cast of analysts including York and Hrudey?

National games: Kyle Bukauskas as host/reporter (Didn't Leslie do most broadcasts?)

Seems like Meegan Mickelson has an upgraded role on the Flames website while still doing radio analysis. Natasha Staniszewski doesn't to be as involved as before?

Even the Sportsnet panal seems to have a lot of changes with a revolving cast non stop. Seems like it's kind of all of the map for us
