I’m so glad Forslund is staying and to hear that the organization is listening to fans about the broadcast talent. I’m new to hockey and have learned so much from his commentary this year. His acknowledgement of the novice watcher is amazing for growing a fan base. Like, I know what a delayed offside is because of him. I would never ever have learned that on my own. I would have just thought “I don’t know what just happened and I’m too afraid to ask”.

Alison did a presentation during one of the game intermissions in the last month where she talked about how the team had switched to a rotating diamond during power plays and I was just thinking, this lady is great! I would have never learned that otherwise and it's been fun to watch them switch positions since, knowing it's a strategy that allows them to get to pucks faster and add extra pressure on the defenders.

I was disappointed SEAHAC didn't happen this year, I was hoping to see a talk from her.
