Rod Black, one of the finest broadcasters in Canadian History, had so much fun at last year’s event, he had to come back for another year!
“Absolutely pumped to once again be part of the national broadcast team for the Allan Cup – one of the oldest trophies and championships in North American sport,” said Rod Black. “I had an awesome time last year in Dundas and looking forward to the same this year in Waterdown.”
“If you’ve never watched senior hockey before – you’ve missed a lot. Great players, great teams, great competition and most of all great stories of players who have played at so many different levels and now keep turning back time.
