It happens when the Sens play the Leafs in the Battle of Ontario Tuesday night. But depending on where you are, you or may not be able to see TSN's Kenzie Lalonde do her thing.
It looks like the Leafs audience will get the regular male announcers while those in Ottawa can tune in for an alternative.
“These broadcasts are available for fans in the Senators’ broadcast region on TSN5, and are separate from the broadcast airing in the Maple Leafs region,” Bell Media said in a statement."

Slight correction as the article was updated - Kenzie is the first woman to call a game for a Canadian team. The article cites Leah Hextall as being the first woman to call an NHL game for Sportsnet in 2020.

Yes, thanks for catching that. What I meant to type but not quite what came out!

Couldn't care less about the NHL anymore, but any coverage that doesn't include Ron 'The Sniveller' McLean sounds like an improvement.

I tried about a minute of it, then switched to the other TSN, only to see the Leafs were down 3-0. I watched The Penguin finale. Then went back to TSN with two minutes to go in the game, still 3-0, then a penalty called against them with an empty net. That was enough, I shut it down and went to bed. By the way, if Colin Farrell doesn't get an Emmy nomination for his performance as an actor or producer for The Penguin, there is no justice in Gotham.
