Stauffer Steps In
It’ll be the Rod and Bob Show for Edmonton Oilers broadcasts on 630 CHED next season.
Il voce nuevo
There’s going to be a new voice in the radio booth for the Edmonton Oilers on 630 CHED this season
The Skipper sails on
When he decides it’s time to go, the man known around the NHL as The Voice of the Edmonton Oilers won’t telegraph his farewell, prompting all manner of fussing, tributes and retrospectives by admiring peers.
