VANCOUVER – Sportsnet’s Vancouver-based all-sports radio station has picked up the exclusive radio rights to the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League (WHL).
Starting this coming season, Sportsnet 650 will broadcast all Vancouver Giants games live, complemented by regular appearances from the team’s head coach, Michael Dyck, and GM, Barclay Parneta, on the station’s various shows, as well as weekly player profiles and features. That's in addition to the 82 Vancouver Canucks games that it will air.
“The Giants have a strong history and legacy here in Vancouver, producing players like Evander Kane and Milan Lucic, and we are extremely excited to continue telling their story everyday on Sportsnet 650,” said Sportsnet 650 program director Craig MacEwen, in the news release. “This will be a huge year for junior hockey in Vancouver with the 2019 NHL Draft coming to town and all eyes on potential first round pick Bowen Byram. It’s going to be great for Vancouver hockey fans.”
