The Calgary Flames add former NHL enforcer and veteran broadcaster Kevin Sawyer to their regional broadcast team for the 2026–27 season. He joins the Flames’ booth as a game analyst and color commentator, adding a new voice to coverage of team games.
Sawyer is set to work alongside existing broadcasters Jon Abbott and Brendan Parker for Flames regional broadcasts on Sportsnet. The announcement is tied to Sportsnet’s release of the 2026–27 Calgary Flames broadcast schedule, which identifies the on-air talent for the package of regional games. The outlets agree on Sawyer’s role and the broadcast lineup, with both noting that this season marks his entry into the Flames’ media team.
While the coverage is limited to the scheduling and staffing details, the articles present a consistent picture: Sawyer’s experience as a former NHL player and broadcaster is positioned to translate into analysis and commentary during game broadcasts.
