Caley Chelios has been a regular feature on the Chicago Blackhawks broadcast team. As the daughter of famed Blackhawks defenseman Chris Chelios, she has roots deep in the Windy City.
However, she began her play-by-play announcer career in 2016-2017 with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
She would later arrive in her hometown, Chicago in 2021-2022, joining the broadcast team as a studio analyst and color commentator. She'd also called Stanley Cup Playoff games in 2022.
Rest assured there will be continuity in the future, as Chelios, Pat Boyle, and Tony Granato will be the new broadcast team for Blackhawks games on the newly-minted Chicago Sports Network.
Rest assured she's not leaving Chicago anytime soon:
