Everett Fitzhugh and JT Brown have long known this day was coming at some vague point in the future. And now that's it's actually here, they are embracing the NHL history they will make Thursday night.
Fitzhugh, usually the radio voice of the Kraken, and Brown, the analyst on the Kraken's television broadcasts, will work together in the TV booth when the Kraken meet the Jets at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
It will be the first all-Black TV broadcast in NHL history. Fitzhugh will slide into the seat of the Kraken's regular play-by-play man on ROOT Sports, John Forslund, who is doing the national broadcast of the Vegas Golden Knights-Colorado Avalanche game in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Brown will maintain his usual role as the color analyst.
