A major health update from the Blackhawks' broadcaster
With 13 years of NHL experience and a current role as a Chicago Blackhawks broadcaster, Tony Granato is no stranger to the NHL.
During the early part of December 2023, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and stepped away from his broadcasting duties.
Since then, he has taken a leave of absence from NHL Network and NBC Sports Chicago.

Meanwhile, as of Jan 5th, 2024, he has returned from his leave of absence and will work remotely with NBC Sports Chicago on pre-game presentations.
We're excited to have Tony back!
Granato has accomplished a lot in the NHL, spending 3 years as the coach of the Colorado Avalanche and returning to coach his Alma Mater with the University of Wisconsin soon after that.
