Today, ESPN made some more announcements about on-air talent they’re hiring in the wake of their new deal with the NHL. So far, the list is promising, and includes several former or current women’s players—yesterday’s announcement added Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Hilary Knight, and Blake Bolden.
Expect an official announcement from ESPN on hockey broadcast talent this week, likely tomorrow. Cassie Campbell-Pascall is joining ESPN, so is Chris Chelios. ESPN has also had conversations with Hilary Knight and Blake Bolden about roles within coveragehttps://t.co/HheB57F4Mo

Cassie Campbell-Pascall is already familiar to most Canadian hockey fans, if not for her playing years, for her time spent as a commentator on Sportsnet.
