Whatever Happened To Grant Fuhr? He's Now A Broadcaster For The AHL

The former Leaf goalie is now taking shots with his colleagues on air for the Kraken's AHL team in California. Although he's never really done broadcast TV or radio before, his knowledge of the game makes him invaluable as a colour analyst. And besides, it was a handy way to keep his non-gloved hand in the game without much effort. 

"Fuhr said he took the minor league broadcast job because Palm Springs, California, has been his home for the past 14 years and it allows him to indulge in his two passions -- hockey and golf.

There are more than 130 golf courses in the Palm Springs area and Fuhr estimates he has played on 100 of them.

 When LaMont, a friend and golfing buddy, told Fuhr the Coachella Valley games were going to be locally broadcast, the retired goalie replied, "I'm going to be there anyway, why not get paid?"
