In the realm of hockey, one constant has been the voices that narrate the game, delivering those unforgettable lines. Jim Hughson, a true game-associated name, held his place until James Cybluski took over. Another distinct voice, that of former NHL star Ray Ferraro, became synonymous with EA's series.
Yet, a recent revelation has disrupted this familiar lineup. Ray Ferraro's exit from his role has shaken things up. Cheryl Pounder steps into his shoes, a substantial change bound to affect fans accustomed to Ferraro's memorable quotes.
The choice of Pounder might raise eyebrows, but her qualifications are undoubtedly impressive. Having carved her broadcasting niche at TSN, calling games and offering insightful commentary, her transition into the gaming realm is fortified by her background as an ex-hockey player and Olympic gold medalist.
With her remarkable credentials, Pounder is well-equipped for the role, a fitting successor to the iconic Ferraro.
