from The Athletic NHL Staff,
It isn’t just the product on the ice that matters. The team in the broadcast booth also plays an important part in shaping the enjoyment of every hockey fan’s television viewing experience.
The Athletic has asked hockey fans to rate their experience with local market broadcasts every year since 2020, after which we do a ranking from 32 to 1.
It’s time to voice your opinion again. We’re inviting you to rank your favorite team’s broadcast on a scale from 1 to 5 and as many other broadcasts as you would like on the same scale.

Yep it's paywalled.
How about the Google Doc?
That worked. Thanks, Paul.
USA won 4-1, they are now 4-0.
from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,
The Americans are 4-0 in the tournament. This is only the fifth time USA has started the World Championships with four or more consecutive wins. USA won a medal in the four previous times that occurred.
“To get that one goal under my belt was a huge momentum booster as well,” Mazur said. “But there is more of a bigger picture here. I want to win a gold medal. That’s something I’ve always dreamed about. That’s the goal.”
Lalonde ‘Excited’
Mazur (drafted 70th overall in 2021) is playing 12-13 minutes per game and has two points, and is +5 in the four games. He certainly is showing why the Red Wings expect him to make a bid to earn a place on the Red Wings’ roster at some point next season. Mazur is one of their most coveted prospects.
It certainly helps Mazur that Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde is an assistant coach for Team USA. He’s on the bench watching Mazur’s confidence continue to grow.
“Great goal,” Lalonde said from Finland. “Been excited from what I’ve seen from Carter so far. Obviously a young player. One thing I really like about him is he is a straight line player. He plays through checks, plays through bodies, which is sometimes something you have to teach young kids when they come to our level.”
Mazur played two years of college hockey at Denver and then signed with the Red Wings. He then launched his pro career by putting up six points in six games for the Grand Rapids Griffins in the American Hockey League. Mazur has played confidently in college, Grand Rapids and now in Finland.
“He doesn’t look out of place in these situations because he plays through bodies and he plays on the inside,” Lalonde said. “That is a good sign for him.”
