Jon Abbott Named New Voice of Flames
Jon Abbott has been named the new play-by-play voice for the Calgary Flames on Sportsnet, succeeding Rick Ball, who moved to Chicago. With nearly 25 years of broadcasting experience, Abbott has previously called games for the Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Vancouver Canucks. He expressed excitement about joining the Flames organization and relocating to Calgary with his family, highlighting a personal connection to the team through his childhood. Abbott is set to join analysts Kelly Hrudey and Greg Millen in the broadcast booth, with Ryan Leslie hosting. Sportsnet is looking forward to starting a new 11-year regional broadcast partnership with the Flames, and Abbott's debut is highly anticipated by fans. The change comes at a time of transition for the Flames, who have also begun construction on a new arena.
