“An instant, smashing success just like the team itself.” The Athletic give high praise to the Golden Knights’ broadcast team for the second year in a row.

Dave Goucher, Shane Hnidy and company moved up in The Athletics annual broadcast rankings poll. Last year they came in third, but this year they moved into second just behind the New York Islanders.

“There was praise all across the board — the unbiased style of Dave Goucher’s commentary, the way Shane Hnidy teaches and engages new fans of the sport, the studio personalities, the broadcast’s technical work — it’s the complete package.”

Just like everything else the Vegas organization does, the broadcast team upkeeps the outstanding standard the franchise has set since entering the league.
