Dennis Beyak is a former Canadian hockey play-by-play broadcaster from Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was TSN's play-by-play announcer for Winnipeg Jets games through to the end of the 2021-22 NHL season.[1]
Broadcasting career
Beyak began his broadcasting career in 1970 at CFAR as a play-by-play announcer for the Flin Flon Bombers of the Western Canada Hockey League.[2] Beyak has also provided commentary for the WHL's Saskatoon Blades, Victoria Cougars, and Seattle Thunderbirds.[1]
Beyak's first NHL broadcasting job was at CFRN-TV, as the television play-by-play announcer of the Edmonton Oilers.[2] from 1995 until 1997, when CFRN lost the local TV contract to the newly formed A-Channel.
In 1998, he became a Toronto Maple Leafs play-by-play announcer for AM640 Toronto Radio[3] (with Jim Ralph). In 2005, he also became the television play-by-play announcer for the Toronto Marlies.[4] Starting with the 2011–12 season, Beyak returned to TSN and became the new voice of the Winnipeg Jets,[5] also on TSN 1290 in Winnipeg.[6]
