Ball will join Darren Pang in a new era of broadcasting for the Blackhawks as they’ll leave NBC Sports Chicago for the soon to be Chicago Sports Network. Great hire by Chicago and a really bad loss for the Calgary Flames
Well that was quick. Hopefully Rick and Darren gel together.
This is the darkest timeline
Thank God.
I’m sorry Flames fans..
Fuck. This sucks as a Flames fan.
This is devestating, but congrats to Rick. He’s one of the best. Sportsnet underutilized him. He should have had a few National Broadcasts
Wish him all the best. I enjoyed him covering games. The Leafs vs Hurricanes game 8-6 will be my favourite game covered by Rick
Why would anyone want to be part of the aldrichhawks
I always thought Rick Ball would replace Jim Hughson as the top choice on HNIC broadcasts, because he is that good. Best to him in Chicago. He and Pang are going to be must watch TV next season.
Time to get some new Canadian person in his spot!
This is awesome because it was a complete disaster last year. Going from HOF Foley to whatever that was …BLECH
Amen Hallelujah! Vosters was as popular as Gary Danielson on a Saturday afternoon.
Congrats Rick, always liked him when he did BC Lions broadcasts.
Noooooo!! He will be missed.
Oh my god thank you for getting rid of vosters. Sucked that a great announcer like Darren pang had to put up with those broadcasts
Even my wife who doesn’t enjoy hockey said Vosters was horrible, Ftr she was used to listening to FOLEY HOF
It really is amazing the number of people Sportsnet keeps going through, play by play, hosts , commentary, whatever.
