“We congratulate Dennis on his incredible career as the voice of the Jets, and look forward to having him continue as a valued member of our international hockey broadcast team,” TSN said in a Tweet.

Before joining TSN for the Jets 2.0’s inaugural season, the Winnipegosis-born broadcaster also gave play-by-play commentary for the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades, Victoria Cougars, and Seattle Thunderbirds, as well as the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.
He also did television play-by-play for the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers and was the primary radio voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1997 to 1998 and 2010 to 2011.
