Your 2010 NBC Olympic Hockey Announcers
TMC
Based on bios from a media guide at the NBC media site, here are your
commentators for the 2010 Olympic Games for the networks of NBC:
Play-by-Play
Mike Emrick
Kenny Albert
Analysts
Pierre McGuire
Eddie Olczyk
AJ Mleczko (Women’s)
Joe Micheletti (also reporter)
Studio Host
Bill Patrick
Studio Analyst
Jeremy Roenick
Mike Milbury
Cammi Granato
Looks like Doc and Kenny will call most of the games, with Olczyk and
McGuire working as analysts for the men’s games (or Doc-Edzo-McGuire
and Albert-Micheletti) and Mleczko and Micheletti as the analysts for
the women’s games.
I still think there must be a third play-by-play man in there
somewhere. Also, we have all these studio analysts, but no hosts. No
Bill Clement in the lineup there, so perhaps there’ll just be a
rotating cast of sportsdesk hosts setting up JR, Milbury and Cammi.
It’s also important to note that guys like Costas and Al Michaels are
not in this media guide, so there could be larger names hosting
things. Hopefully a press release comes out soon.
UPDATE: Further research has discovered that Bill Patrick will host
the hockey coverage for the entire Winter Games. Should be
interesting to see how he works with hockey analysts who have
something to say.

I love McGuire, Milbury and Granato, but I bet there'll be some
background stories involving cancer, family hardship, grief and
redemption, etc...
