Dave Tomlinson and Ray Ferraro set to replace John Garrett in broadcast booth
The Vancouver Canucks and Rogers Sportsnet have unveiled their broadcast plans for the upcoming season. Sportsnet Pacific will carry 58 regional games in 2023-24 starting with an October 11th game in Philadelphia. The team's other games will be carried on a national basis.
Dave Tomlinson, who used to be a part of the Canucks radio crew before spending the past two seasons in a similar capacity in Seattle with the expansion Kraken, returns to Vancouver to join John Shorthouse in the broadcast booth. And Ray Ferraro will join the crew as a game analyst on select regional telecasts. Those two will replace the popular John Garrett who stepped aside as the regular colour analyst at the end of last season.
Dan Murphy returns for another season as broadcast host and will handle intermission panels.
The regional broadcasts will include four games against the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights, a pair of contests against the Seattle Kraken along with a January 20th Hockey Day In Canada match-up against Toronto.
