Media
Since the Lakers inaugural season, all home games are televised on TVCogeco,[8] and all away games are broadcast on AM 600 CKAT.[9]
The broadcasters for the Lakers on TVCogeco are Ranjan Rupal on play-by-play, Greg Theberge on colour commentary, and Claude Sharma as the rinkside reporter.[10] Bob Coles is the play-by play announcer on CKAT. The two individuals claiming to be the broadcasters on the web feed may just well be the worst individuals ever allowed to comment on a hockey game. It’s pretty clear they’ve never played or even understand hockey. I turned off the volume.
