Meet the crew

Tara Stonewall

Studio host

Tara hosts like she's unveiling the next big thing. Tonight, it's hockey.

Introducing... tonight's game.

Known for: Answers a disaster or a bad stat with one flat release note, one or two a show

Picks on Techie Tran: Tara cuts Techie off right before his best detail most nights, calling it a scheduled update.

  • Wears a headset mic like a keynote

Natalie Nourish

Studio analyst

Natalie brings calm to the desk, smoothie in hand, and usually the right answer in four words.

Breathe. It was a good shift.

Known for: Takes one breath and settles Brodie's breakdown in four words, and is right

Picks on Brodie Breezy: Natalie needles Brodie on purpose by telling him to breathe mid-breakdown, and wins every exchange by saying less.

Brodie Breezy

Studio analyst

Brodie breaks everything down, sometimes too far.

Let's break it down.

Known for: Breaks one simple play into far too many numbered steps, once a show

Randy Swan

Play-by-play

Randy has called thousands of games and has the trophies to prove it.

That call might win another award!

Drew Remender

Move your feet! MOVE YOUR FEET!
