ESPN adds Cherry to beef up NHL playoff coverage
via Globe and Mail:
Don Cherry is taking his commentary and wardrobe south of the border, where he will make regular appearances on ESPN during the NHL’s Eastern Conference final.
“I guess they like my jackets,” the Hockey Night in Canada personality said yesterday.
Cherry and Hockey Night host Ron MacLean will leave the CBC’s Toronto studio for the road to cover the Philadelphia Flyers-Pittsburgh Penguins series, which will start on Friday.
Cherry will do live hits by remote for ESPN’s SportsCentre at the end of each Flyers-Penguins game.
“When I’m finished with the wrap-up on Hockey Night, I’ll do the ESPN spot,” Cherry said. “Sherali [Najak, the executive producer of Hockey Night ] will help set it up for me.”
