Haynes was the play-by-play broadcaster for Avs games on television since the 2005-06 season, working alongside color commentator Peter McNab. Prior to moving to television, Haynes had been the team’s radio play-by-play man since the franchise moved to Denver in 1995.

In October 2007, he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. He continued broadcasting Avalanche games until undergoing an operation April 10, 2008. Though he missed the playoffs, he returned to the microphone for the 2009 season.
