John Kelly named new Kings broadcaster

[Canada9]

Just joined this group and pardon my ignorance, but I’d like to know if any Canadians are here that get Sportsnet ? I’d like to watch Canadian teams but Sportsnet won’t work here. Thanks.

Sweet - I liked him (IIRC).

Yeah, he was let go by the Blues as they are going with the radio team and doing simulcasts. St. Louis people are pretty upset at management, and many have said we are getting a great announcer.

Grew up in stl with his dad announcing who was the best. Lived in LA for decades before returning to stl several years ago.

This is very accurate. Stl is very unhappy he wasn’t re-signed. Blues and fan duel couldn’t get on the same page as to why they let him go but I suspect it was all about money. It was poorly executed and messaged.

His family are stl icons and he is a very good announcer and a class person.

LA got a gem
