In honour of International Women's Day Sunday, NHL hockey broadcasts on both sides of the border will be helmed totally by women. In Canada, Sportsnet's Calgary/Las Vegas contest will have an all female crew, including the announcers.
 
And in the U.S., NBC Sports Network's Blackhawks-Blues contest will follow the same script. 

Women have been in locker rooms for a long time now, and there are a growing number of female reporters and colour commentators, but play-by-play announcing - outside of Suzyn Waldman with the Yankees - is still relatively rare. It's an interesting idea and I wonder if it will only be relegated to a single day in future or become more commonplace.
