The Chicago Blackhawks were hit with many pieces of unfortunate news this summer as well as this past season, one of the biggest hits to the organization was the departure of Pat Foley. Foley announced his final game for the Chicago Blackhawks on April 14, 2022, after 39 seasons as the team's announcer.

In 1980, when he was 26 years old and residing in Chicago, he began announcing the games, but a lot has changed since then says Foley.

"As much as I still love what I do and love hockey, it can be a grind," the 68-year-old said.

"I've done fewer games than ever this season, and I have enjoyed it," he continued.

"I just don't have 82 [games] in me anymore. That's a lot of games, and 82 is not for me. Will I never step behind a microphone again? Not saying that. But not full-time."

On April 3, it was revealed that a 30-year-old �Chris Vosters will take up the play-by-play duties for the Blackhawks.� This happened after a number of potential candidates gave a nearly season-long audition series.

Blackhawks President of Business Operations Jaime Faulkner commented on the addition of Vosters:

"Having Chris join and lead our broadcast team moving forward will help push us to the future of Blackhawks hockey."

"For many years, our fans have enjoyed the energy, passion for the game and creativity that Pat has brought to our broadcasts, and we are confident that Chris will carry that tradition to our fans moving forward," he continued.

Foley was honoured on April 14th after he called his final game, take a look at the ceremony that was held for foley below:

Since Foley has been gone, Blackhawks fans are sure missing him more then ever, and each time Chris Vosters makes a inaccurate play-by-play call, Hawks fans think of Foley a little more.

Take a look at the one below, Filip Roos scored his first NHL goal, Chris Vosters stated Filip Roos had the puck multiple times and even before shooting, but once he scored, somehow he turned into... Caleb Jones??
