Happy to share I’ve signed a new multi-year contract with ESPN 🎉
Proud to contribute to our NHL coverage on multiple platforms. Love working with my hockey (and wrestling!) teammates who have such insight, creativity and passion for what we do.
More personal news soon ... 👀

A sneak peek at the #HeritageClassic venue... 👀
Watch the 2026 @TimHortons NHL #HeritageClassic this Sunday at 7 PM ET on @Sportsnet, @TVASports, & @NHL_On_TNT!
ALT A wide stadium rendering at dusk shows a packed outdoor hockey venue beneath a large arched steel roof. At center, an ice rink sits on a rustic wooden platform designed to resemble a cabin floor, surrounded by framed hockey artwork, oversized Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets logos, hockey sticks and skates. A large NHL shield with flames appears beyond center ice, while a glowing stone fireplace dominates the foreground. Red “Heritage Classic 2026” branding wraps around the rink and seating areas, with colorful illuminated stage areas positioned near the fireplace.

I joined @notthefakeSVP last night and he asked a simple question: Who is the expanded college football playoff for?
It will end up being for no one.
We care about this sport a lot and we tried to put it into words.

Elliotte is one of the best reporters in hockey, and he generally sticks to hockey.
Today he posted a short message commemorating the Canadians killed on October 7th.
And of course he’s getting mobbed for it. I’m sure he knew it was coming and posted anyway.
Good for him.
As always, I hope for a world where people can live happily, in safety and security, no matter where they are from or what they believe

In a memo obtained by @SBJ, Luis Silberwasser tells employees he is out as head of TNT Sports.

Sources say David Berson to take helm

The FAI has already made this request and it's been rejected. This is an Irish (or rather Paddystinian) problem. Countries don't choose their opposition based on their politics.
What happens if Israel qualify for #euro28 and are drawn to play in Dublin?

Delta Center converted one end zone from all restricted-view seats to these balcony-style tiers. Lowered capacity, but added seats with a full view of the ice. It's a little scary up here, haha, but the view is sick.
