The Chicago Blackhawks have finalized their new television broadcast crew, after the departure of Eddie Olcyzk and retirement of Pat Foley.
As previously announced, Chris Vosters will serve as the television play-by-play announcer for the Blackhawks on NBC Sports Chicago. Former Blackhawks Patrick Sharp and Troy Murray will split duties as game analysts. According to the Chicago Tribune, the pair will have “about a 50/50 split of home and road games”.
“We wanted to make sure for both Troy with his health and Sharpie with his family (that we) put something in place that worked well for them personally and well for the broadcast team as well as our fans,” Blackhawks President of Business Operations Jaime Faulkner said.
Sharp had previously spent three full seasons as a studio analyst for the NHL on NBC. Murray, who revealed last summer he was battling cancer, has worked as a studio and game analyst for various outlets since 1998.
