Legit expecting Wills to do both radio and TV now and he will be expected to call away games in Calgary.

Booo! Crappy news. Happy for him though as it's a desirable gig, making more dough, and most importantly doesn't have to work for Rogers anymore.

Sucks to see Rick Ball go, but hopefully this will put in motion to have a new broadcast team and replace Hrudey as well...

Local dude Harnarayan Singh is up next maybe?

This wouldn't shock me with Sportsnet trying to save money.

This is dark, and somehow highly likely with Rogers track record.

Another kick in the shins. Feels like NOTHING is coming up Milhouse right now.

Ugh, that’s terrible news for Flames fans! Rick is one of the best. Much success to him in his new role.

Nooooo, Rick is definitely the best in the business. Best of luck to him on his new gig. We'll definitely miss him on the Flames broadcast.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Rick a bit over the years. He's a fantastic human being. As sad as it is to see him leave, it's exciting to see him get an opportunity in a big American market.

The man just made the broadcast family like.

Friendly face.
Friendly voice.

Huge loss for the fan base.

Wow, really feels like we are on the ground taking kicks from all sides right now!

Might be the worst club news in a couple years. It will be overshadowed if Edmonton wins a cup, but this is awful news.
