Dan Murphree
Studio host
Dan hosts, reports and is never in one spot for long.
I'll be right back, I mean right there.
Known for: Answers a disaster or a bad stat with one flat, understated sentence, one or two a show
Picks on Orca Okafor: Dan cuts Orca off right before her best detail most nights, then turns up rinkside himself, in her spot.
The file- Has a scooter for getting around the arena
- Has worked every role in the building
Seawall Sato
Studio analyst
Seawall explains the game's systems with the calm of a morning jog.
Systems win games.
Known for: Turns one goal into a five-part system, once a show, mapped like a jogging route
Picks on Rainy McDougall: Seawall builds a five-part system at length and keeps losing to Rainy's four gruff words.
The file- Keeps a whiteboard at the desk covered in arrows
- Wears running shoes on air
Rainy McDougall
Studio analyst
Rainy brings rain metaphors and tough-guy takes to the desk.
That take is all wet.
Known for: Sinks Seawall's five-part system in four words, and is right
Picks on Seawall Sato: Rainy needles Seawall on purpose by calling her systems all wet, and wins every exchange by saying less.
The file- Owns forty umbrellas

John Shortcake
Play-by-play
John has called games for ages and has a quick quip for every one.

Picks on Dave Tomorrowson: John times Dave's point out loud, deadpan, and corrects his botched goal re-calls.

Dave Tomorrowson
Color analyst
Dave's point is always coming. Soon. Worth the wait, mostly.
My point is coming. Soon.
Known for: Builds to a point for far too long, once a show, and lands on something obvious
Picks on John Shortcake: Dave insists his point is worth the wait, and slows down further whenever John checks the clock.
The file- Takes a long time to get to his point
- Has never been rushed
- Played junior hockey in a small mill town in the interior
Orca Okafor
Rinkside reporter
Orca brings big ocean energy to ice level, one wave at a time.
Making waves at ice level!
