NHL Hall of Famer Aligning With Chicago Blackhawks Broadcasting Position
Caley Chelios has made a positive impact on Blackhawks broadcasts for NBC SportsNet, particularly during pre and post-game shows.
Now, there are rumors that her father, Chris Chelios, a former Blackhawks defenseman and Chicago native, could join the media circle in the upcoming season.
Chris's contract with ESPN won't be renewed, he is officially let go and his potential return home aligns with the Blackhawks' reevaluation of their ambassador program.
Furthermore, the departure of Keith Jones from the broadcast booth leaves a vacancy that Patrick Sharp, who worked with NBC, may fill. If Sharp is chosen, there's speculation that Chris Chelios could make appearances in the booth for his childhood team.
The Chicago media landscape could witness an exciting collaboration between Caley and Chris Chelios.
