Dennis Beyak is a Canadian hockey play-by-play broadcaster from Winnipegosis, Manitoba.[1] He is currently TSN's play-by-play announcer for Winnipeg Jets games.[2]
Broadcasting career
Beyak began his broadcasting career in 1970 at CFAR, where he provided play-by-play commentary for the Flin Flon Bombers of the Western Canada Hockey League.[3] Beyak has also provided commentary for the WHL's Saskatoon Blades, Victoria Cougars, and Seattle Thunderbirds.[4]
Beyak's first NHL broadcasting job was at CFRN-TV, as the television play-by-play announcer of the Edmonton Oilers.[5] Beyak held the position for two seasons from 1995 to 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[6] (with Jim Ralph). In 2005, he also became the television play-by-play announcer for the Toronto Marlies.[7] Starting with the 2011–12 season, Beyak returned to TSN and also became the new voice of the Winnipeg Jets.
Beyak currently provides play-by-play commentary for TSN's regional broadcasts of Winnipeg Jets games, alongside colour commentator Kevin Sawyer,[8][circular reference] and on TSN 1290 in Winnipeg.[9]
