Bob McElligott: After 17 Years in the NHL, Here's What's Next
Hockey
After 17 years as an NHL broadcaster, my team decided not to renew my contract. Here's what's next.
This is the first thing I've made for Clear Breakaway, a new online platform built on the idea that sports content shouldn't just be one announcer talking at the masses. I'll have opinions. I'd rather have a conversation. Hockey, baseball, football, basketball and sports in general are all on the table.
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reached out. It truly means the world to me. I also explain where the name Clear Breakaway comes from, what I'm building, and how excited I am to announce the first piece: a twice-weekly podcast with Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, starting this week. Training camp is open, there's a lot to get into. More to come in the next couple of weeks.
