It is an honour to be a part of NHL events for Premier Sports. Last Year I rang in the New Year in Boston, and covered the Winter Classic January 1st for the network, as the Habs visited the Bruins at Gillette Stadium.
It was my first NHL Outdoor event – and it was like nothing else – a who’s who of the hockey world – and an atmosphere that was unreal. I have covered 3 Olympics, 3 Stanley Cup Finals – but an outdoor hockey game is just something very special. Premier has once again made the call, and I’ve answered! My second NHL Outdoor game will be the Centennial Classic at BMO Field on New Years Day ’17 – Red Wings at Maple Leafs. I can’t wait! Here’s the promo and all details:
